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!

10 is too many!
When we were choosing names we could only agree on 1 name for a girl and 1 for a boy, thank goodness we only had one of each. Grin

Can't think of 10 and just as well we're not going to have any more given my lack of boys choices!

Tummytickler, I am not suprised your husband vetoed your list, what awful names.

PublicHair · 17/09/2011 11:30

there are some belters here (not in a good way!)

tummytickler · 17/09/2011 11:37

Thanks nodrog how sweet Hmm
Sorry it wasn't another list of Millie, Ruby, Alice, Catherine and Eliza.

mopsyflopsy · 17/09/2011 12:24

I love Persephone, Marnie, Thomasina, Jethro, Victor, Peter, Ismael and Geoffrey! Lovely classic underused names.

Shouldn't we all be encouraging more name diversity - I'd rather meet a little Jethro than yet another little Jack (yawn).

I would normally not have commented on how boring I find Jack but found nodrog's comment quite nasty so felt I had to 'defend' the more unusual names Smile.
