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.

What do you think of Anya for a girl?

Also on my current list are

Evelyn
Magda
Zoe
Mary

Thoughts welcome on them too! Thanks.

Yes there's a nice derrivative but sadly DH think it sounds like trailer trash when placed after Mary!

does MIL have something bearable that you could put in the middle after Mary? Or a derivative?

Mary is my mum's name, I'm very keen on it for a DD's first name -but do you think I'd then offend my (lovely) mother in law if we don't honour her too? Love her, but don't love her name -at least not for the current generation!

Mary is lovely, and massively underused imo

Great taste motherof2boys!! Good luck to you too!

are you me? All your names are my top choices (except Zoe) but I only get boys !!! and live in exile in the South so you are probably not me.

Good luck.

I think Anya is a lovely name. I have heard of Ananya more often, and that has always been one of my favourite names.

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".
