Comments for the name Thankful

It's just a word.

Yes, there is a difference between the virtue Verity, and THANKFUL! First of all, this virtue is both a verb and an adjective, not good. At least let it be Thankfulness, at the very least. Second of all, it fits into the same Princess, Diamond, Unique, Gaylord, Bonnie and Heaven classification. Give me a break, will you?

Not any word, but an adjective. Simply awful. Then again, I'm not a fan of any Puritan virtue names.

Don't name your child this! They will be "thankful" that you didn't.

Might as well start naming children Grateful or Pretty (it's an adjective).

Some adjectives work as names. This isn't one of them. Come to think of it, adjectives don't make very good names to begin with. This one doesn't even sound pretty, and it's just plain weird. Can you imagine a parent shouting to their child: ''Thankful, it's time to go!''. The word would sound ridiculous even on animals.

Thankful, sister to Please and Sorry.

OMG! sorry about that. It's a word people! Make something creative! Thankful is not creative! It doesn't even sound beautiful, Unique is even better, America is even better! At least they sound feminine. This name is BEYOND in need of help! Please don't name your child this! It's the scariest name of all time. It's like saying this,
"Hi I'm Thankful"
"Umm that's nice."
What kind of name is that seriously?

This has got to be one of the worst names I have ever heard.

Thankful for what?

Thankful for the right to change one's name.

This isn't a name at all! It's just a word! Can't believe someone would actually name their daughter this.

Seraphine_Eternal's Basic Rule #1 of Child-Naming: make sure the name *isn't* a common word (regardless of whatever part of speech it is) in the language that you speak. "Thankful" flouts that rule and should be condemned to the graveyard with no possibility of parole. NEXT!

If names are really coming down to this you're gonna make the poor girl/boy miserable, might as well name your kid "I want to make you miserable".

I don't care how thankful you are for the kid; this is not a name, and it should not be used as a name.

Hmm, this name is interesting - a lot of puritan virtue names are interesting. I kinda like the sound, but obviously I would never use it. On the other hand people use names like Hope and Faith, and those are just as wordy, so it's not completely ridiculous.

I think going with a name like "Grace" would be better than "Thankful". How embarrassing.

Get a grip, people, this is an ARCHAIC name! Meaning other than the occasional oddball that wants to be different very few people in their right mind would name their child this in this day and age.

I think this is an unusual name, and an interesting find.
