Okay our first baby and we're pretty much agreed on name if we have a girl but man am I hitting a brick wall with boys names!

Here's how the conversation goes..... me 'how about (insert name)?' him 'drug dealer' me 'oh my okay what about....' him 'shoplifter' and so it goes on.

I also find it ironic that all the names I like are biblical - the Isaacs, Gabriels etc. but apparently all very popular in the criminal underworld!

Wonder if there is any name I can come up with that he hasn't arrested!

Even Jesus got arrested though...

Ha ha Boo - think he'd have palpitations if I suggested Jesus. Just to add to the mix I count myself as Christian and he's a full blown atheist!

In fact I may do it anyway just to see his face Grin

I did try and go very leftfield with Alban - the first English Christian martyr and I thought that was pretty obscure. Bloody surname of one of his 'regulars'!

My DH is a music nut and so references all names to songs he likes/doesn't like and the sometimes unsavoury conotations. Like Lola and Pictures of Lily. And Mustang Sally, Alice, I could go on.

I feel your pain.

Yes I am married to a copper.

Yes we have the same problem.

You might have some luck with Jesus.

Does he have any suggestions?

You need something very very rare then so that he's never come across it. Can you surf the lower ends of the ONS list? www.statistics.gov.uk/statbase/Product.asp?vlnk=15282

Not very helpful I know but that is hilarious! Grin Good luck choosing a name you both like and this is one genuine reason you could keep your fingers crossed for a girl!

Congratulations on your baby
