I once had a student named Cinnamon.

Maybe if you are really rich and she's going to private school. Public school kids will tease this name relentlessly.

I think it’s fun. Another name in that same vein might be Saffron.

Way better than Sassafras

Short for Bridget? Read Bridget Jones' Diary. Lots of "Hey Bridge!" in there.

So as not to confuse little Bridge for Bridget, just name the kid Overpass.

OP, it's your hormones. It is NOT a good name. Think of her resume.

When I was pregnant, I thought Tassajara was a good name (it was the name of my mountain bike).

the second time I was pregnant, I thought Jacaranda was a good name (it's a tree with beautiful purple flowers. I would call her Jacqui for short!)

Don't overthink this.

here is a nice guide: Go in the yard and yell it 10 times. Sassafras! Sassafras! Get in here, Sassafras! Dinner's ready, Sassafras! Sassafras, get your bum in here!

If you can stand that, because that will be your reality, then ok it passes.

Secondly, make sure it's not a dog name, or a stripper name.

Then the resume name. (Sassafras is a fail)

Just try and remember you are not just having a baby. You are having a baby, a little girl, a teen girl, a young adult, and an adult. A name should be ok for all those stages.

OP here. thank you. you've convinced me.

I think you should find a way to auto-add these sentences to many, many, many of the name-related posts here. Maybe add that your child's name likely has little effect on his or her personality -- the way you raise your child and your family's dynamics, ethics, priorities, etc will. Also, nicknames are great, but there's no likelihood that a kid nicknamed Sassy from birth will have a personality that fits the name. That's bordering on cruel because it seems like you are setting an expectation and your quiet, shy, rule following kid may hate being called Sassy.

Maybe consider Cassandra, plan to call her Cassie, and if her personality suits it, Sassy is a backup option.

“This is my baby, sassafras?”
“Sassafras! Go down the slide?”
“Sassafras, come to the board?”
“I love you too, sassafras?”
“I, william, take thee, sassafras?”

You don’t see how these does not work?

I'm laughing so hard I'm goign to wake everyone up!

What about Saffron? Like AbFab?

As soon as I saw Sassafras I thought of Saffron. Maybe if OP is having twins it can work.

I'm just mad about Saffron.

We have a children's book about a skunk named Sassafras.
