Hi everyone,

Well, after a few days of constant name games, me and dh are sorted. Thanks to everyone's help we have decided not to go with Beauden after the BAD reaction on here. Or Indigo or Lyric or Soren. Lots of you still will hate our choices but I think you know when you have decided because you don't care less anymore what others think (in a nice way).

Soooo. our final choices are:

Girl: Sonnet Melody
Boy: Winter Beau Alexander.

See, I still have my Beau in there Grin.

I think these fit in really well with our other dc. The only big problem is that we have an Autumn so it may well sound contrived. But they aren't going to be joined at the hip and will have their own identities.

One last favour!!!

Can anyone suggest a nice third name to go with Sonnet Melody? (Our other three have all got two middle names so I want to do the same).

Was thinking perhaps:

Sonnet Melody Grace
Sonnet Melody Eve
Sonnet Melody Erin

Want a classic name she can fall back on if she hates her other two names.

Anyway, thank you for all your help. I think I can almost leave these boards in peace now Grin

thumbwitch · 08/11/2010 11:16

Gah! of course I meant Zephyr Blush

thumbwitch · 08/11/2010 11:16

hope it's happening for you arizona - and going well. Look forward to hearing how little Zephry Skyler/Sonnet is in a couple of days time. :)

DanceInTheDark · 08/11/2010 10:35

oooh good luck :)

TerrysNo2 · 08/11/2010 09:30

Oh sorry - only read the first page! Good luck with everything!! Fingers crossed that your baby arrives safe and well and that the right name come to you! Grin

PS - I love Beau for the name, so simple but strong.

TerrysNo2 · 08/11/2010 09:27

Are you really calling your child Winter when you have another one called Autumn?!?

Please remember that whatever you decide you have a huge responsibility to your child to give them a name for them to live with, not just for you to enjoy.

I suppose they will always have a funny story to tell!

Good luck!

lola0109 · 08/11/2010 09:19

Good luck arizona, sending you some positive vibes but i'm sure all will go well. I'm hoping that as i'm writing this things are in full swing or you're cuddling your lovely newborn. X x x

MummysLittleSunbeams · 08/11/2010 09:14

Eeeeek you go girl!

Rafi · 08/11/2010 09:00

I thought Winter was off and the choice was Skyler for a boy?

How are you Arizonagirl?

Galena · 08/11/2010 08:52
