This is interesting already actually, because when I see people mention certain names I am more pleased than when I see others, and I didn't realise before that the first set were my favourites!
If that makes sense.

Why would you ever think of calling a baby, Dorothy? Are you bonkers?

Report
messtins · 28/11/2012 13:48

Seren, Katie, Cerys/Carys, Clara.

I like Miriam but it means "bitter" and for that reason is struck off my list of potential DD names (not that I have a DD...)

I think Dorothy is lovely, just to stick up for that name! :)

We have similar taste- the only ones I don't like are Georgia Natasha and Kirsty...
