[identity profile] my-fair-kadie.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] babynames
Oh man... I just joined and boy have I got a gem of a name for you... My friend/neighbour is pregnant. She's about 4 months along and desperately hoping for a girl. She has named me godmother and I am begging and PLEADING with her that she please rethink the name that she has picked out for her daughter. Meanwhile I'm praying for a boy so that a) I don't have to actually call this child by the name she picked out and b) she doesn't saddle the poor baby with this name for the rest of it's life.

Brooklynn Harmony Milla.


Is it me or is this name just horrible? Brooklynn, I could almost stand. Milla is after her grandmother, so whatever. But, HARMONY??? *shudders* I'm praying for a boy, but some of her boy names make me want to curl into a ball and cry.

So, am I crazy? Or is this name as horrific as I think it is?

EDIT: She wants to call her by her middle name, Harmony. I forgot to add that when I posted. :P

It's not the best name ever but as long as you can stand Brooklynn then I wouldn't worry about it. You won't ever have to call her Harmony (or even hear her called that probably)

Someone in our church just named her daughter Brooklynn. I'm not into it at all. I really like Milla, as a namesake especially. Harmony is sooo....1980s hippie. Like, your parents were stuck in their teens when they had you, so they named you Harmony. Blegh.

And I would know. I am Rosalie...born in the 8os and named after the Grateful Dead song Rosalee McFall.

Hmmm, maybe you can convince your friend to call her Milla, which is a beautiful name. :)

I know that most people will probably disagree with me, but I much prefer the name Harmony to Brooklynn. Honestly, I don't really care for either name. Keep trying to convince her to go with Milla, it's such a unique, lovely name! :)

Oh, I completely agree with you. Milla>Harmony>Brooklynn

...ew. Brooklynn just screams "trashy" to me, and Harmony might not be so bad except it was a really dumb, superficial blonde character on Buffy (and I am a huge geek), so it would bother me. Nothing wrong with Milla, though it's not my style.

what are her reasons for Brooklynn and Harmony? I'm just curious- it won't make me like them any more

Yeah, if it's after the city, it definitely should only have one n. Interesting.

I've heard much worse... but "Harmony" is trashy IMO. I really like "Milla" and "Brooklynn" is ok, too bad she has to want to call the baby by the worst name of the 3, eh?

Harmony is a total guilty pleasure for me, even though it's sort of trashy. I like it a lot better than Brooklynn though.

I hate the name Brooklynn it's such a bad name.

Not a big fan of Brooklynn. I wanna say "pick one - either Brook or Lynn" but it isn't THAT bad I guess. Harmony is cute for a middle name, but I don't like it at all for a first name - too cute, too 80's, & too hippies. LOVE Milla. Very cute and I love the reasoning.

Meh, could be worse though. One of my friends sisters just named her baby - I'm not lying either! - Harmony Sunshine. Another sister of hers named her kid Rainbow (don't remember the middle name).

Hmmm...

I like Harmony more than Brooklynn. I used to know a Harmony - I don't think it's that bad. It's not one of my favorites, but there are a lot of worse names out there.

Harmony's a hell of a lot better than Brooklyn IMO. I wouldn't use it because it's a bit too silly for me, and it reminds me of the Buffy / Angel character, but personally I prefer it to Brooklynn which I think is horrible.

I actually really like Brooklynn AND Harmony. I don't usually like creative spellings but the extra n makes it more feminine.

I don't really like any of them. And the three together don't sound good.

My best friend all throughout school is named Harmony, so I like it. It sure as hell beats Brooklynn...

i like Brooklyn/Brooklynn, & my friend has a baby named Mila, which is kind of cute... but not a big fan of Harmony :X

Honestly, I like Harmony more than Brooklynn. Not that I'd ever use either!! I think the only reason I prefer Harmony is because I knew a girl called Harmony and she was cool (even tho it was only her nn, NOT her given name). But all in all, the name blows. I'm so sick of seeing Brooklynn :(

I don't think Harmony is that bad. Brooklynn is awful, but the other two names are ok. Milla, especially, is a nice tribute.

Erm.. I could think of worse. Brooklynn is kind of trashy, but I like the name Harmony because I had a friend with that name who happened to be beautiful and a really nice person. It fitted her well. Milla looks like.. millileters, or milligrams.. or something. Or the British way of pronouncing Miller. =\

I hate Brooklynn. but at least it makes Harmony seem a little less trashy... and that's about all it has going for it.

she should just stick with Milla.

Davis Scout

Yipes, don't like any...but I could justify calling her Milla since it's after a family member.
