Yes, also a fruit, and the late daughter of Bob Geldof.

My piano/voice teacher's name was Peaches when I was growing up...she was a fun lady.  Not 100% sure if it was a nickname or her actual full name, but it's all I knew her by.

She had very long acrylic nails all the time... it always puzzled me how she played the piano so effortlessly with them.  No clicking or anything.

This reminds me of a thread I recently read. .. (Don't remember where, maybe 2nd Tri? ) about a girl wanting to name her baby peaches.
Needless to say, Noone was a fan, and everyone had something to say about it.

I can totally see why the ' i s ' wouldn't work.

I freaking LOVE the name Peaches. I know that's probably a UO, but I just do. I used to know a Peaches in college, and have secretly loved the name ever since.

Yup. Awful.

It's unique for sure, cute (seems like something I would call my kid as an affectionate nickname). Not my style and not even remotely traditional, but you knew all that anyway and clearly isn't what you're going for!

I definitely can see why "Peaches" had to be it rather than "Peachis" (which looks like a typo for "penis" to me).

I'm glad you got your way with spelling, and congrats on deciding.

now i have that song stuck in my head.  lol

Pshh, losers

but seriously, that thread is why everyone on the bump must simply go with a Jane Austen name or STFU. May one thousand little corporate execs named Sophia Isabella bloom!

Not once did I think of Peaches as a stripper name.  But I did picture a petite little country gal with spunk.  I don't know why...then again, I've been friends with zero strippers in my 30 years on this earth so that could be a reason.

They don't like it because it sounds like a stripper name

You know many strippers? Named Peaches? Didn't thinkkkk so.

I like it. If I were to name my little girl peaches, she would be destined for a Princess Peach costume at some point- probably multiple times in her life.

I totally just earned my princess peach character last week on Mario Kart 8.  I bought the game recently for the hospital..  I usually play her.

Just to reiterate:  Peachis would have been terrible!  Peaches is cute!  Congrats!

Pink gold peach is actually who I earned and played, she's pretty.  I'd kick your butt.

And now I'm thinking Yoshimi for our girl name.

@MusicFanatic‌, now I want to play Mario Kart!

@musicfanatic I wish we could play online XBox style so I could whoop your butt! so I can watch you kick my butt.

Omg I fucking love strippers. Haters, have you BEEN to a good strip club? Those women are AMAZING. I had to stop going because I realized I could easily spend all my money there.

Stargirlb

I am also a big fan of princess peach and we already call this baby Peach... Because my two yr old calls her that too, he can't say "peaches" just "peach"

MusicFanatic

This reminds me of the pole I had in my last basement, I miss that pole.

efujan

I like it!    (like the middle name option too!)
There was a girl at the my university a few years back named Peaches that was the pitcher for the softball team - she was pretty badass. 

Stargirlb

DH's first gf out of bible college was an awesome stripper.

longcat07

dude, people.  I'M yoshi.  y'all can't have him.

(ok, ok, sometimes i'm birdo.  wait, is birdo a character on mariokart 8?  i used to play her on 7 for sure, and now i don't remember.  it's been too long.)

i made some jokes, but seriously, if you love peaches, go with it.  not what i would pick, but it's not my kid.  (and yeah, peaches is way better than peachis.)

Millions of peaches! I have the song in my head too! I think it is sweet. There was a girl over the cubicle from me when I worked at a call center. Her name was Paige but the way she said it all her customers though she was saying Peach. Totally adorable.

Edit for typo

motherboy

No you guys have the wrong song in your head! Peaches is one of my favorite singers. The Teaches of Peaches is one of the BEST albums ever made.

Here's her song set it off, it was kind of a hit in indie music a while ago. NSFW!!!!

Peaches the artist is totally bad-ass, anti-patriarchy, AND canadian. A perfect fit for you Stargirlb!

Nope, but it still sounds like one. Or one of those crazy people on maury. I've only known one person who went by Peaches. He is now a "transgendered" drag show queen.

Stargirlb

One of my bffs is trans. Why are you putting transgendered in quotations? Do you think there is something "wrong" with it...? "Strippers"... "Crazy people on Maury"... U don't sound like a "peach" at all, Aggiesmom. Blech

NatureLovers

all I can think of is that song "Mommy Complex" by Peaches.

luckylady18

Putting the word transgendered in quotations like that is totally offensive. WTF.

To be fair, doesn't BFing in public = stripper in your mind? 

(sorry, had to get the jab)
