Myrtle

This was also my great-grandmother's name. She loved her name. Her nickname was Momo. I don't exactly know where she came up with Momo, but I love it. To me, the name Myrtle and Momo is synonymous with warmth and love. There was a time that I thought it was a kind of funny name, and definitely "old lady." But as I get older myself, I realize how beautiful this name really is.

considering this is my name lol, i’ve never got direct hate on it. not even by any classmates. everyone usually compliments it. having such a unique name is pretty cool. never having to worry about getting your work mixed up with someone else’s is a plus and not having to worry about which myrtle they are calling for is also a plus. i was named after my grandmother and so on, so it’s nice to carrying on the legacy.

My name is myrtle, and to be honest, i don’t really mind being called myrtle the turtle. i usually get called turtle and it doesn’t bother me 🤷🏼‍♀️

I like this name, but it reminds me too much of Moaning Myrtle from the Harry Potter books. Maybe if I would get a pet turtle I would name her "Myrtle." Then she would be Myrtle the Turtle.

I had a cat called Myrtle who lived to be 20 years old.

I'm just not a fan.

It is really awful. It reminds me of the book "Yertle the Turtle".

I can look at plenty of 'old lady' names and see the appeal they had/have but I just can't with this one...

I absolutely hate this name.

The first thing I think when I hear this name is Myrtle Beach, since I live very close to South Carolina and Myrtle Beach, and spend almost every summer there. It doesn't sound very appealing to me though, also with the Moaning Myrtle reference and the fact that it sounds too close to turtle.

The perfect name for a turtle- I can just see the little turtle head peeking out of the shell, like someone with no neck, head attached directly to their shoulders xD Myrtle's still too frumpy and fuddy-duddy to be one of the fashionable vintage-revival set, especially with the creepy Moaning Myrtle Harry Potter character association. But who knows, that might change in the future.

I adore this name. Everyone else seems to hate it. This is my great-grandmothers name. I always thought it would be so cool to name one of my daughters after her.

I love it. Definitely in my top 5!

I absolutely adore this name!

The only thing this name reminds me of is HP’s Moaning Myrtle.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a lovely name? I think of the plant and I love that it sounds so strong along with it's old fashioned frumpiness. Yes it's a bit clunky and I'll probably never get DH to agree to using it but it does have it's charm as well.

Never using this for my daughter. I don't want her to be mocked and called Myrtle the Turtle.

Rhymes with turtle...girdle...curdle...it just has a really unappealing sound to me.

My mum had a turtle named Myrtle

Sorry, but this name is too close to the word 'turtle' in both sound and spelling for me. I just don't find it appealing.
