OK. I will never have another baby, but I have a name that I really want someone to use. And none of my real life friends will.So....

....here goes.

It's Clemency. I think it's gorgeous. Mind you, when I tell my 15 year old I wanted to name her it, she says she would have killed me at the first available opportunity if I had, so it does come with a health warning!

Not having any more either. I wanted a Susannah but wasn't allowed. Sad

Bumperlicious · 12/03/2011 22:34

Please can someone use Betty or Andrina, both vetoed by DH.

UrsulaBuffay · 12/03/2011 22:11

Yay for Nickel's friend! I only realised how lovely it is after I had DD!

Also have a name crush on Genevieve. So weird how your 'style' of names changes!

I adore my two boys but I would have loved a Tess.

seeker there was a 'fox-proof' chicken coop on River Cottage a while ago - a coop on stilts with a ladder than foxes couldn't climb. Have tried to google but can't find it - but will keep looking.

MayorNaze - my grandad was called Ray and I wanted to use it in DS2's name - but it sounded a bit 'red neck' in the end so we didn't. I'm a bit sad about that.

But I can;t have chickens - we are surrounded by foxes!

I'd like someone to use Xavier and Xander for me - I wasn't allowed either of them. :(

Clemency is lovely and I do know of one. Must be about 10 now.

Fayrazzled - my name is Louisa :)

I'm adding:

Tess, Betsy and Trilby (yes, I know) to the list.

I love having chickens - much better than any other pet!

Oh, I do so want chickens. Even more now I realize that I could call one Clemency!

ah! just realised (thanks to MrsWoolf) that it's a Virtue!
We're naming the next lot of chickens after Virtues!
I might be able to use it Shock

nickelbabysnatcher · 12/03/2011 17:37

UrsulaBuffay - i have friend who's just used Mabel. Grin

seeker - use it for a chicken. Grin

I've decided to use all my children's names for chickens if i haven't had any when i hit the menopause.
in the meantime, i daren't, just in case child comes along and I've waited its name!

lisianthus · 12/03/2011 17:33

I love both Clemency and Susan as names.

fifi25 · 12/03/2011 17:30

Ethne - no one will use it and i wasnt allowed to Sad

PorkChopSter · 12/03/2011 12:56

I know a baby Peter (Pea), a 5 year old Susan, and about 10 Benjamins.

crystalglasses · 12/03/2011 12:56

Why don't you get a pet and give it your favourite name. Araminta the guinea pig sounds nice.

PuraVida · 12/03/2011 12:54

Well I'm on the lookout for a name. But DBIL is Peter and BF is Susan. And I think it's going to be a boy, not sure I like Clement. Conjures up a picture of a ruddy cheeked ploughboy

Underachieving · 12/03/2011 12:48

I can't use Peter ever because it clashes with the surname, not even as a middle name. It's not even debatable- it's a ridiculously awful clash.

Peter anyone?

It's such a sweet name. Please?

wendylovesbob · 12/03/2011 12:04

Clemency is good.

I wouls like someone to PLEASE use Susan. It is such an awesome name. I am planning to have another baby (although that just doesn't seem to be happening Hmm) but my daughter has a hippy rainbow child sort of name and Susan wouldn't work. It would be like having two boys called Thelonious and James.

spooky, have been touting Clemency for ages! Was at school with one, she was ubercool...

Clemency Genevieve would be the combo for me I think.

Gregory is also on my list as is my DBro name.

I'm hoping I still get the chance to use another name, though time running out :(
