Baby name- Sound silly?

Question

I want to name my baby girl ankhesenamun.. It's pronounced uh-nook-sew-na-moon. I'm really into egyptian names and I think it's beautiful, but I wonder if people will struggle with it all the time and embarrass her

Answer

I've heard this name on the "Mummy" movie! I think it is a pretty name, but maybe just for an Egyptian heritage. But if this is in your or your DH heritage I would go for it! But if it's not you may want to consider the  reprocussions. Good luck!!!

Answer

Take it from a Gunce - her life will be miserable in school. I love unique names - but ones that are just a little different - but not so it's virtually impossible for anyone to pronounce correctly. 
​
​On the plus side - if you do name her that - she will becone incredibly self aware  and tough by the time she is 18...

Answer

My daughters name is.. 
​Lexie-Wednesday Phylis Paige
​(Surnames Are) 
​Allen Evans Noonan scales wall

​Ha! 
​It's your baby, do what you want! She's four and can spell the lot!

Answer

Personally...... I would give her this as Middle name . Saves the child having a hard time all her life and it's still included in her name but she doesn't need to use it daily

Answer

Very tough & confusing,it's an Egyptian queen name but not all people know that,it looks misspelled.
​Studying Egyptian history in school was hard because of names like this that no one could pronounce.
​
​Are you okay with your baby telling people how to say her name all her life?

Answer

I think it's definitely tough but is there a cute nickname you could use? Give her that name and call her something shorter and easier for a nickname so it's easier for people who struggle with the pronounciation?

Answer

I like it. I work in a nursery and that's nothing compared to some if the children's names we have lol

Answer

Agree...I think more than 3 syllables is tough

Answer

It is definitely pretty, but growing up she will struggle with people not know how to pronounce or spell it. I have the alternate spelling of Ashley (with -leigh instead of -ley) and I had people mispronounce and misspell my name my entire life, especially in school. It was a pain but my name was much easier than the name you are thinking of. 
​However, if you're set on it, that is your choice to make.

Answer

It very pretty but I would probably sway away from it imagine teachers trying to call that name every year of school till she graduates.
