Oi! Where is OliviaMumsnet's birth announcement?

[Poledra]

Or her live labour thread, for that matter? You sneaked the announcement in as a throw-away line at the end of the Parenting News email, and that's just not good enough. Shurely she deserves better than that? So,

Many congratulations on your new baby boy OliviaMumsnet! Looking forward to hearing all about him! Does he have a name yet?

[HelenMumsnet]

Sheesh - give the poor woman a moment - she only had the baby yesterday!

We're sure she'll post about it in due course - from what we've heard, it'll make an EXCELLENT birth story.

(no name yet, as far as we know)

[Saltire]

Maybe she's calling him Dave .

[QuintessentialShadows]

Yes, or Quint.

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Well she was on Facebook talking about it .....

Just saying.

[Saltire]

Dave the Quint is a good name actually

[HelenMumsnet]

Not sure that one was top of her list, Saltire!

[QuintessentialShadows]

Saltire, it would either have to be Dave De'Quint or just Dave Quint.

[QuintessentialShadows]

Quint Dave is also good.

[Saltire]

No, the "the" is essential, IMO anyway

[QuintessentialShadows]

But, that sounds a little too much like Queen Dave.

Not good.

[Poledra]

Well, y'know, maybe one of you lot could have made a birth announcement for her maybe?

And live labour threads are, y'know, as it happens. Clue's in the name.

Tch. Excuses, excuses

[HelenMumsnet]

Don't think she had much time for a live labour thread, Poledra, tbh. Twas all rather speedy.

And no, the announcement is all hers to make - really. She did all the work, innit?...

[QuintessentialShadows]

Helen, do suggest Quint Dave for her, will you? theres a dear.....

[Saltire]

no helen, "Dave the Quint" is a far better option

[HelenMumsnet]

Actually, perhaps we should have an MN Olivia's-baby-name sweepstake?

[Poledra]

Oooh, good idea!

I'll have Belgarath.

[QuintessentialShadows]

Or Poledron.

[StayingDavidTennantsGirl]

Congratulations to Olivia and the new baby!

[sharbie]

Congratulations to them both

[Tee2072]

Congratulations Olivia!

[KurriKurri]

Congratulations Olivia and welcome little one. (Kurri is a good name for a baby)

[OliviaMumsnet]

Hello, sorry that's he's not called Dave.
here's the announcement

[Saltire]

OOh, good Borders surname that you've chosen, love that name, it's my family name
