Baby Names

WDYT of....

Elin? I know that right now people probably associate it with Tiger's wife but what do you think of the name? Do you think it would get pronounced correctly?

  • oops.. i don't know why it keeps sending things when i am in the middle of typing... grrr... anyway

    I actually think the name Elin is very pretty. Yes, i think people would say "oh like tiger woods wife?" but on the plus side, I think it would be pronounced correctly these days... years ago, probably not.

  • It's pretty! Years from now, no one will even remember that it's Tiger's ex-wife's name - they will think of it as (possibly!) your daughter's name :-)

     

    Pretty choice! 

  • I like the name and do think people will immediately think of Tiger's wife in the year or 2 to come, but in a few years that will be such old news no one will be thinking about it.

  • I really dislike it. And not because of Tiger's wife. When he first married her I remember thinking it was a bad name. It's just so harsh and not feminine sounding to me. I guess I don't like that the first syllable sounds like -eel.

    Exactly this.

  • It is a very awkward name for me to pronounce.

  • I love this name. I wanted to use it but DH vetoed. I don't think the younger generation will think of Tiger's wife.
  • It's nms and I think it will be commonly associated with Tiger's wife.
