Me too. But doubt that most people have that association.

NP here - I certainly do. Ick.

Me too. Horrid name.

Same here -- but I like the earlier suggestion of Jacinda.

It's Hyacinth Bouquet, not Bucket. First thing I thought of when I saw the post.

The star character on that show is a plump middle-aged woman named Hyacinth - the worst social climber and snob the world has ever seen, except that her attempts always fail catastrophically and comically. She drags her long-suffering husband into the most hilarious schemes and unsuccessfully tries to avoid her low-class relations.


Anyway, to answer your question... it's not a good idea.

Ditto. In case anyone's wondering, just watch the first 32 seconds of this link from youtube, and you'll get an idea of Hyacinth's personality.

Theres also a horrible Hyacinth in Elizabeth Gaskells Wives and Daughters. It seems to be a name you give a certain type of woman...

This is my only reference for the name. Shes a funny character for sure but I just hate the name!

[Anonymous]

Seriously? Why would you do that to your child???

I like Hyacinth. I think it's lovely and different, but nicknames would definitely be an issue. There just doesn't seem to be a good one and it's a mouthful on its own. Given this, I'd probably be more inclined to use it as a middle.

Strongly dislike Jacinda.

Are you thinking of this as a name for a real girl or for a dog?
What about bouganvillea?

I think you are trying to be creative but its not working. Terrible name.

Some of you people really need to get out more.
