Heard this name today...

Pokedot · October 2013

Barlow, as in Harlow with a "B." So what does everyone think of this? Anyone heard of it before? Someone I know named their new daughter this. The name post got me wondering since all of us have different tastes.

Not a fan.

Don't like it. It sounds harsh.

willy_gert · October 2013

I have heard it as a last name only.

MomtobeNJ · October 2013

No.

I think it sounds like barley, which sounds kind of hillbilly. It's more of a dog's name IMO.

There an adorable little girl at LO's daycare named Laylee. I just can't get on board.

No, NMS at all. Sounds like barley.

Pokedot · October 2013

Alrighty! I'm not alone. It is SO NMS. I swear they picked a name they like, Harlow and added the B instead because she was obsessed with barbies when she was little, hence the B. Honestly her family thought Barbie was going to be the name. I think I would have liked that better!

Yikes.

Nope. Not super shudder worthy either, there are way worse names out there.

There is a child at DHs school whose name is Cannabis.
:-O

One of the girls in Keagans class is Zola. She is a twin, and I cannot for the life of me remember the twins name. Its equally as interesting though.

A friend of the family's daughter just named her twins something like Zahlyla and Zahryanna. Sure it wasn't her?

They are like 3, so prob not lol but those are pretty bad. I'm really not liking the "Z" trend though.
I know sibs Zanyiah (g) and Nyzaiyah (b)

Only acceptable if the twin is Emile.

@hyaline, why? is there a reference to something that I'm missing? I don't think it is, I think it starts with a C

Sorry, hugely dorky--Emile Zola was a 19th century French writer and political activist. NERD ALERT.

ShopperKristi · October 2013

There was a grocery store where I grew up called "Barlow's" ....maybe she was conceived there?!

Cheenomae · October 2013

I automatically thought it sounded like a boy name before you mentioned it was a girl. Not a fan.

Pokedot · October 2013

@danabsd I was thinking you should name LO #2 this! No? Beb & Goodness, it sounds like a candy like Mike and Ike!
