Baby Name Opinion for a Girl

JennaBobby · January 2013

My husbands name is Robert Raymond. We thought of Robbie Rae for a girl's name. Do you think people will think she is a boy?

moonfaerie · January 2013

A boy, or a Honey Booboo type of girl.

jlsimon56 · January 2013

Written out, no. Spoken, yes.

Oh gawd. Really?

Did anyone see that movie Too Wong Fu, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar? And the little country girl was Bobby Rae.

Good times.

Uh, yeah. I'd think she's a boy. IMO, using Rae as a MN is enough to honor your husband. Please don't use Robbie for a girl.

1) Why would you want your daughter to have the same name as your husband? Won't that be awkward during intimate moments when you call out your baby girl's name?

2) If you insist, what about Roberta Rae Lastname? You can call her Robbie as a nickname, but if she hates it, she can always fall back on something more feminine.

I'm not a fan at all.

MommyAmes2 · January 2013

Why would you want to name your daughter an obvious boys name? Awful

TheWop · January 2013

I think it's a terrible name for a girl. Sorry. What about Robin nn Robbie?

Yes

JennaBobby · January 2013

No need to be so harsh on the comments.

hahaha and I agree

countrywed · January 2013

Yes I would think it was a boy. It is too close to your DH's name too for me

I think that's completely awful. Robbie is a boy's nickname, certainly not a girl's full name.

Rae as a middle name is fine.

This!

Lue94 · January 2013

Please don't do that to your daughter.

Mochadoodle · January 2013

Robbie is a name that belongs on a boy.

I'd keep the MN as Rae tho. It's cute!

ETA: Roberta Rae would be a better choice. GL!

My name is Robyn. I hate it when people call me Robbie.

This.

I agree that it might be a little much to use both names, especially since it's your husband's name, too. That said, I think that it would be nice to use either Robbie OR Rae, so long as you paired them with a classic, feminine first or middle name.

Robbie is my brother's name. So yeah, I think it's a boy's name.

FrecklesInside · January 2013

Give her her own name

I'm not a fan of passing on FNs in general, why not just use Rae to honor your husband? It does sound a little country and I would definitely think boy.

Do you feel the same about naming a boy after his father? That's a very common thing to do and I doubt the mom's are thinking of their baby boys if they happen to call out the dad's name in bed.

araesm · January 2013

That said, I don't like the name combo. I do, however, love Rae as a middle name for a girl. It's my middle name, and I've always loved it.
