Carmen (after her great-grandmother) with Lois (after my mother) as a middle name.

Yes, still love it and I think it suits her.

Poppy

At ten weeks pg I read that the heart was the size of a poppy seed so that was the nickname whether it was a girl or boy. Of course it stuck after we found out she was a girl, all the time looking for "proper" names, right until I went in for induction. The minute she was born, she was simply just a poppy, through and through. It suits her down to the ground! (she's nearly 7 now)

Alexander, because it is classic, timeless and strong, quite international, and its shortened versions are good too (Alex, Xander, etc). I like it so much that it'll be hard to find another name as good, if we have another DC!

Mollie Olivia - yes, I do still like it, some 9 years on.

As a bump, or when they arrived?

Bump - Pugh.

At birth - not telling. Classic though, and yup I still love it, and his nn.

Jonathan. Because it was about the only name dh and I could agree on! And I do like it very much - it's traditional, not too way-out, but also not overly popular (so there will never be 4 other Jonathans in his class for example). And yes, I still love it, and thinks it suits him, and he is 10.
