I'm due today

[LetThemEatCake]

have posted these names before but am always interested in feedback ... you often get different reactions on MN at different times...

girl: Anoushka
boy: Leon

[FimboFortunaFeet]

Good luck LTEC - hope you don't have to wait too long before baby puts in an appearance.

I like Anoushka but not the nn Noush

Leon, not sure but I do think it fits in with the name of your other dc.

[FimboFortunaFeet]

Have you deleted your profile?

[LetThemEatCake]

not knowingly ... why, what's it doing?

[BonsoirAnna]

I like Anouck more than Anoushka - it's not so fussy.

And I like Leo more than Leon (which is totally associated with Leon Brittan in my mind!). Leon is a bit too close to Leonard and Lenny (do you want this as a nickname?).

[FimboFortunaFeet]

That's weird, when I clicked on your name, just after I posted, nothing happened. It is working now though. Gremlins

[BunnyLebowski]

Anoushka is ok.

I really don't like Leon and don't think it fits with you other dc's whose names I love.

It seems dull and a bit chavvy in comparison.

[BonsoirAnna]

How about Jonas for a boy?

[Luxmum]

Anouska is ok, I had a teenage best friend called it tho, and she deeply, deeply hated it. I wonder if she has grown to accept it? Hmm. I digress. Leon is ok, nothing special, sorry..I'd prefer Leo, and be brave and call him Leonidas after the Spartan King. But Leonidas Smith is probably deeply pretentious..
I hoep the birth goes well.. Good luck.

[hulabula]

I wouldn't know how to pronounce Anouska, to be honest...

Leon is ok, but agree that it is a little dull. I prefer Leonard, Leopold or Leonidas.

Most important is that YOU love the names, not us. But good luck with the birth!

[suwoo]

Wow, you're due today...good luck.

I like Anoushka, but think Leon is a little dull in comperison with your orther DC's names. I liked Magnus

[suwoo]

comparison other

Sheesh

[skyward]

I like Leon - there are lots of Leo's around now, but not heard of a single Leon.

[hulabula]

I love Magnus!

[KleineMaus]

I was just about to say, what about Magnus, but I see others have beaten me to it. I remember your earlier thread because Magnus is top of my list. That said, I like Leon too. Not so sure about Anoushka, although I wanted Anouk like someone else suggested but DH vetoed.

[KleineMaus]

Forgot to say, hope it happens for you soon. I'm due on Sunday and am mighty impatient already.

[Persephoponce]

Good names. I especially love Anouska (prefer it without the 'h', but that's minor!).

[MamaLazarou]

I like both your names. Good luck with everything darling!

[LetThemEatCake]

Magnus is still in there, but as 2nd name
Leon Magnus

Regal and mythical, I think. I don't get the chaviness of Leon, but p'raps cos am Aussie and the only 2 I ever knew had uni lecturer, leftie parents! Don't know any child Leons but 2 Leonidas and loads of Leos
Funny bc have also been told my dd's name is chavvy I must have some inner chav in there trying to get out!!!!
Bonsoir: love Jonas, was on our list for ds but had dreadfully weird and aggressive French neighbour with same name, which struck it from all future lists!!

[MaggieVirgoLeo]

Anouska ok.

I prefer Leo to Leon. It's more classic.

[artichokes]

Love Anoushka but I am afraid I feel the opposite about Leon.

What are your other DCs called?

[LetThemEatCake]

dd Phoenix and ds Cassian

Off for a curry now!

good luck KleineMaus - hope it's swift and speedy!!

[MaggieVirgoLeo]

I think you should put Magnus in the first name position. would blend in better than Leon.

[KleineMaus]

Enjoy the curry! I'm off for one tomorrow.

[baskingseals]

I love Leon, think it's great, also like Anoushka Good luck

[LetThemEatCake]

been having contractions all day, hurry up baby!!!

Still no takers for Aslan??
