Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Help - boy's name - Daniel or Edward

So dh and I only agree on 2 boys' names. Edward and Daniel. Only problem is that surname is Baker. Would this put you off Daniel due to Danny Baker on the radio? Then with Edward, we have ds's comfort toy which has always been known as 'Eddie'. Would this put you off Edward? I like Dominic as well which dh won't consider sad. We are struggling - help!

Daniel is far nicer. I can't think why you would think people would think of Danny Baker. Hes a d list celeb.

Edward. I am biased. My dad and my granddad are called Edward.

I love both names, actually they're great... I think I prefer Daniel.

Agree with Scarlet actually, Ethan Elliot and Edwin are fab...

Slightly prefer Daniel - Danny Baker will be an increasingly minor personality as your son grows up.

Other ideas: Ethan, Elliot, Edwin

Callum or Edward

I like Edward more than Daniel. I very much like Callum!

Personally, I think Callum and Hugh/Hugo are much nicer and less common/popular than either Daniel(Dan) or Edward (Ed).

I like both Daniel and Edward equally really. But Edward slightly more versatile. Can be Ted or Red

Archie is lovely. If you like Edward, what about Richard with Richie for short?
Callum is nice.

Hugh is nice although prefer Hughie! or Hugo. Just Hugh sounds a bit incomplete to my ear. I do quite like it though.

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
