We are really stuggling to come up with a name for DC4 due soon so for inspiration could people post their top ten names at the moment? Thanks!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Some lovely names on this thread. I'm surprised how few 'top 10' names are suggested. Lovely diversity !

"A name is just that. A NAME. Not a passport to future success, a reflection on the wonderfulness of the parents or an amulet to ward off disease. JUST A NAME."

Yes, a name is just that, a name, its purpose being to IDENTIFY a person.

I really don't get your point .

Of course a name is just a name-it doesn't mean that you like some and not others.

ChezzaB · 18/09/2011 22:32

Wow there are some great names here, I can't think of one at the moment let alone 10. Presently ttc #3 so this has been very helpful even though dp and I never agree!

It's also nice to see both ds's names bandied about out there on people's fave lists.

PootlePosyPerkin · 18/09/2011 22:31

Thanks for that reading. Not sure I get your point though. OP asked a question which everyone is answering .

threeandcounting73 there are lots of ideas on here now that would go well with your DCs names - slightly unusual but not too out there (and I mean that in a nice way ). Good luck with choosing!

Tiptop its Spelt tyrion. It's a popular welsh name that means gentle. Some people say it's a boys name and I do only know one girl called tyrion but plenty of boys. I love it!
