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.

Thanks a lot for your replies. Think I'm set on Alexander or Alice, but with another 7 months to go (all being well) and mad hormones to kick in, I may well be back with a completely different list! wink
Like all of them except Angus.

Alexander and Alice.
If you want Jamie I would go for James and then he can choose. I know a DC who was known as Jamie from birth (never anything else)once he got to 8yrs he insisted on James and wouldn't answer to Jamie. I would have Elizabeth as the full name and shorten to Beth.
I always think cattle with 'Aberdeen Angus'.
Alice and Beth both lovely but I like Alice best. Don't like Georgia.

Not fond of the boys' names but Alex is best of the three.

Can't think beyond the deranged cat in the Georgia Nicholson books when I hear Angus.
Great
When I have kids I'm sending them to private school so my son will not only be called Angus, but he'll also look like a mini Angus,that's my only reason.grin
Funny you say that Dizzy. All the Jamie's I've ever known have been quite cheeky types. Maybe I'd have my work cut out with that one. wink

Might just do that Thunderduck! Although would I have AC/DC tunes in my head on when he gets his first school uniform?? grin

Bess is nice too migola but wouldn't work with my surname.

Think the main problem I'm having is that loads of my favourite names have been given to children of close friends and family.

Alice, Alexander and Angus are my faves tonight but as I'm very fickle, that'll probably change by the morning. grin

Thanks for all your thoughts. smile
all fine but I would favour Jamie less as I know one and he's a wee sod shock

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
