Sorry for random post, on iPhone with sleeping babe in arms.

I have a friend who tried a name for a day or two, then another ...to give a few a test run. I ran into her in the park and asked the name, was told that that day she was Ellie. The next time I ran into her they'd settled for Ruby. As long as you all end up with something just right. It usually takes time for you to gauge who your little one really is.

MissHavishamsDress · 27/09/2010 05:43

And Mabel

MissHavishamsDress · 27/09/2010 05:43

On dhs list are arabella astrid martha molly

We are not far apart in ideas, there must be some middle ground! He also quite likes Rose or rosa but says he's worried they might be gipsy names (hmm) (can't find square brackets on iPhone for hmm face)
