Only 12 weeks, but entering 5th week off work with HG. Bored. Have been thinking of names (when not counting ceiling tiles). Did the same with DS actually, and he got the name I came up with then, which I still love.
It is tradition in our family to have reasons for names (other than we just like them) and to have 3 first names. I do, DS does, so DC2 will have to be fair! Our surname is v dull ordinary English occupation surname (not Baker, but that kind of thing). Having grown up with a very unusual name for my age (v common and popular now) and now living in an old pit village, I am not into odd, unusual, standy-out names at all.
Boy:
Frederick Michael James (Freddie)
(DH's Grandad, my dad (died 1993), mum's "new" partner of about 10 years now. I think he would be very chuffed, sign of acceptance etc. And I really like him. Also not weird with Dad's name as he died, no animosity or ought )
Girl:
Evelyn Joyce Hope (Evie)
(my granny, DH's granny who died in Feb this year, the village where DH and I first lived)
