Answer 4

What culture?

Answer 5

makes the heart grow fonder

Answer 6

It is just the French word for wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) A strange choice for a baby.

Answer 7

good old Slappy

Answer 8

Actually, I think without the negative connotation, Absinthe (pronounced AB-sin-THEE) would be an awesome name.

It's a shame such a pretty word was used for a hallicenogenic booze made from wormwood.  

Answer 9

No.

Libby

Libya

Liddia

All sound much better!

Answer 10

Satan is a cute name.  Or maybe Satanique!  That means "Snake Charmer" in MY culture, which is clearly better than yours.

Answer 11

And it also means a hallucinagenic drink that was banned 50 years ago in America.

Not only will your child look like an idiot with that name, you will look like a drunk junkie.

I say scratch that a pick a new one. For everyones sake.

Answer 12

Absinthe is a highly distilled alchoholic beverage.

Good ol' Slappy.

Answer 13

While I have always had a soft spot in my heart for chimeric names. I spent a lot of time immersed in the chimerical culture as a child. I really do not care for this one.

Answer 14

Luv it.

Keep em coming Slappers.

Answer 15

No it does not mean that!  Absinthe is a hallucinogenic liquor, not a princess.  Why not name her Artemis after the wormwood - artemisia - that is used in making Absinthe?  She was a strong virgin goddess of the moon and the hunt, protector of pregnant or nursing animals and women.  A far more fortuitous and comely name then a drug.

Answer 16

I assume that you have a baby girl now. Or she is on her way. So congrats on the new bundle of joy =)

I think that that is a lovely name for a baby girl! "Abby" could very well become a nickname for her.

Answer 17

Slappy is always coming up with weird things on this board and saying they mean something else in his culture.  He's just trying to get a reaction out of people.

Answer 19

Answer 20

OOOhh....I love it! It sounds very feminine and graceful.

Answer 21

Well in America its an illegal beverage you can only get in Europe.  Its supposed to cause the drinker to halucinate  

Answer 22

Yes Slapman..I like it so much I'm tipsy! I can't even see straight! Bottoms up, to a name well done!

Answer 23

I prefer WhiskyBrandyGin

Answer 24

Man, I love Absinthe.  

Answer 25

it reminds of being absent in calss...please name her charming princess instead

Answer 26

I like it better than Brandi or Shampayne.  Of course it might lead a certain type of person to make silly jokes like Absinthe maketh the heart grow fonder.  How about Anise?  That's the name of the herb used in flavoring Absinthe.  Or how about Wormwood?  That is also a component and it's the name of Screwtape's diabolical nephew in CS Lewis's unforgettable The Screwtape Letters.  

Answer 27

Oh my God. You are such a little *****.

Answer 31

The meaning is great but not the name.
