In the end we found it so hard finding a name as such a responsibility. Our DS is a Theo and took ages to get used to it... now I love it. I think he does too as he's just starting to recognise it!!

Sukey??? Hatrick....if your ds turns out to be a dd, please do not saddle her with Sukey!!

She will forever have 'Polly put the kettle on' sung to her.
