What do you think of Florence? The only response from family has been a raised eyebrows!

Any other suggestions most welcomed!

Madeleine would go well with your boys' names but is also quite popular, and I guess Mad Fox wouldn't be a good thing to be called!

Penelope is a good name - but I used to know a Penny Fox so that might be why I think it works ok.

Samantha is obviously out.

Oh no, porn star?!

We are actually in the South West...hadn't noticed that it is popular though.

Love Meredith, although might be too 'out there' for DH. I like Felicity, but worry about 'Flic' nn.

Flo Fox not so good.

Susannah would be better.

MsFox...! I like Florence a lot, but worry about nn Flo Fox...could be quite cool or it could sound maybe a bit too much like a porn star..! IMO - Sorry Xmas Smile

Also I think a name has a lot to do with your location..where do you live? Florence is very popular in the South West at the moment.

I think it's best not to mention any names to any family member apart from DH/DP...! People will come round in time and won't shouldn't say anything once tot has arrive.

Do you have any other names in mind??
