I think of a tree branch when you say “twiggy!”

Twiggy makes a good name for a pet and a good nickname for a person, but, as a given name, I think it’s ridiculous. Even if she turns out to be skinny.

Twiggy Zilli………!

I don’t like it, especially put with the surname, but of course its their choice. I just hope she doesn’t get teased. Congratulations anyway

I agree that Twiggy is a ‘syle icon’ and who wouldnt want to be as beautiful as her? But as someone who has lived with an eating disorder for most of my life and spent plenty of time in rehab and group therapy with other very sick girls having the name ‘Twiggy’ would have just been horrible. I’m sure I am more sensative to these issues then the average person would be but I don’t think i’m totally unreasonable either.

I dont believe a name would set a disease off in any way but imagine if the child had it or if the child had a close friend with it, or the child was in anyway un comfortable in her skin at any weight? ugh! I love unique names, food, towns, whatever…but body types? OK, just no.

Perhaps Twiggy is a nickname and that she does have a real name…

But in the likely case it is not…

Hope they have a alternate nick name for her-perhaps go by her middle name if she has one!

Yes, because naming your child something will completely adjust their DNA to meet the requirements of that name.

God forbid he name his daughter after a woman known for more than just being skinny.

Olivia, I was going to say the same thing! Thats a lot of pressure for a kid! I am all for unusual names and usually defend parents because it is their child and none of my business and I will continue to do that, even here, but honestly…I think his reasoning behind it sucks…how about accepting his daughter as she grows whether she is as “beautiful as Twiggy” or not?? But, its not my kid and he has his reasons I guess.

The model Twiggy (whose real name is Leslie, I believe) was an icon in the sixties and famous for being rail-thin. That’s a lot of pressure for a little girl! Better hope she never struggles with weight/body image issues. I’m all for choosing unique names but I think this particular choice of name should have been thought through a little more carefully.

I agree with Aurora….maybe Twiggy Zilli can have playdates with Peanut Kai!

Lol, fay. I was just going to post the exact same thing. If he admires the woman so much, perhaps he should have really named his daughter after her. Lesley is her given name. And then Twiggy could have been her nickname as well (which she could choose not to use as she gets older).
