And said, "you have seven seconds to name this child," what would your off-the-top-of-my-head response be? (Besides, obviously, wondering who this loon passing a baby around is.)

Freja or Sophie

Or amber or Madison

skratta · 21/02/2013 15:36

In a split second, probably a random name. Sophie, probably. In seven seconds though, I'd go for Coraline. Because I wouldn't have time to think about what would happen after because of her name, or the connection with button eye people.

VisualiseAHorse · 21/02/2013 15:36

Jessica.
