Bailey?

how wrong would it be to call our child Bailey Bunting?

i love the name Bailey and figure that our child is going to get made fun of anyway with the surname Bunting, so why not just put a name i love in front of it?

it would be too cruel wouldn't it?

oh, i didnt even think about the drink (i'm t-total, and always have been)

i was thinking in terms of the nusery rhyme baby, baby, bunting as Bailey sounds so close to baby.

Cruel. Sounds like the result of a drunken fumble at a summer fete.

Bailey that is. Bunting's a fab surname.

You have another 28 weeks or so before you meet your little one.

What's wrong with Cliff or Hilda anyway?
