Names that are too sweet

Too sugary sweet and inconsequential for a modern girl.

A term of endearment turned cute British celebrity baby name, used by actress Kate Winslet, chef Jamie Oliver, and TV presenter Fearne Cotton, among others. Honey was given to only 40 girls in the US in 2017, but it's relatively popular across the pond, where it ranks in the current Top 500 baby names for girls.

You can call your daughter Sugar, but only as a term of endearment. Her real name has to be something, almost anything, else.

For a girl, we'd say Val-en-teen, though many would insist on pronouncing it like the holiday.
