We're still seeking inspiration. Can you give me your absolute favourite girls name - just one - never min whether it goes with siblings or surname or is too posh or dh doesn't like it. I'd just love to know everyone's favourite. Maybe we'll be inspired.

Alexandra. I wanted to call DD it, but DH kept saying 'Alexandra Meerkat?' in a Russian accent like off those bloody adverts, and it was never the same after that.

Vagaceratops · 19/09/2012 19:47

Anna - simple and pretty.

TigerFeet · 19/09/2012 19:38

Romilly
Imogen
