Very different but love it.....

[Emmerella]

What do you think of 'Empress' for a girl ? I love it but think dh is gonna take some talking round

 

[Ilove]

Kind of like Duke and Princess and suchlike-not really my thing sorry, they make me think of horses

 

[RAFMrs]

Not my cuppa. Seeing as you asked for opinions I'll say it sounds like a brand of cat food.

 

[Amygdala]

Sorry, I'm not keen on it either. I'm not keen on the sound of it and I think Empress will have a lot of trouble with being teased and later on with not being taken seriously in her professional life.

 

[Lexi's Mummy]

not something i would use personally, but if you like it then thats all that matters x

 

[genkigemini]

Sorry, I am not a fan of the name either but this is your child you are talking about and you should name her something you love so if your heart is set, go for it.

 

[hivechild]

Not my thing but if you're set on it then go for it!

 

[Katiex]

im not keen on it either.

 

[JessiHD]

I think of the British Empire when I hear that name and think it has many negative connatations. x

 

[suzanne108]

Hmmmm...no not keen sorry! xx

 

[Shazzy-babee]

i love it its really unqiue i love different names xxx

 

[Sophie1205]

I don't like it sorryyyy x

 

[Aaisrie]

Reminds me of Katie Price's little girl - but all that matters is that YOU like it! My daughter is 6 months and is called Saraya (which is a derivative of Sarah and means Princess) if you like the meaning Empress why not search out names which mean it?

 

[hotn'bothered]

to be honest, i don't like it. it makes me think of jermaine jackson who named his kid 'jermajesty'.
and i agree with the other poster who said it will prevent her being taken seriously later in life.
and this is coming from someone who likes a lot of 'different' names.

 

[BigPlans2010]

It's not something I'd have, but if you like it then go for it. There will be plenty of applicants in 20 years time with names like Apple and Princess _____.

 

[Ilove]

There will be plenty of applicants in 20 years time with names like Apple

Sorry but I just don't think there will be. I don't know a single child with a name as "out there" as "Apple", and I am a nursery nurse. There are loads of really common names, but they are all pretty usual, like Olivia, Amelia and Lily. In 20 years time things like "Apple" will still be considered surprising names for adults and I doubt most people will actually meet one

 

[Claire788]

Sorry with the majority, not keen, sounds like a spoilt brat/jordan kinda name, but if you like it, then go for it, who cares

 

[Dizzy321]

dont like it sorry but if u do then have it hun x

 

[AFC84]

It reminded me of Empress Stah who is a performance artist...

Also sounds kinda drag-like to me but hey it's whatever you like that matters!

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

no don't like it. even if you love it, i'd think of the kid. it forces them to stand out from the crowd when they may not want to.
