You guys have been very helpful with helping me decide on my boys name but my bump is yellow so I'd like your comments on our girls name: Ailsa Rose

We really want a pretty and slightly unusual name (i.e. not Isla which is very popular here at the moment) with Scottish routes and this is our favourite- followed by Iona. I really really love Ailsa as it is so bonnie. I worry it may be a little old fashioned but old names are having a come back and I'd say this is more traditional than old lady like! I also have a tendancy to shorten names and am not sure what this what shorten too?

I have a good friend called Ailsa - I don't think any of us (her friends) shorten her name to anything so you may find you use a pet name rather than a shortening of Ailsa if that's your inclination.

It's very pretty!
