Some great suggestions, anise sounds a bit too much like anus tho. Grin

Never thought of Corrie, that's lovely. If she doesn't like it or can't cope with sniggers from all the Lexis, she can use the nn Annie.

Saffron
Bryony

Even anise is better

Sounds a bit masculine. How about Coriandrea?

PickledFanjoCat · 26/10/2012 19:13

Julia and coriander sounds whacko!

TidyGOLDDancer · 26/10/2012 19:13

Need to know the outcome of this one. Grin

DorothyGherkins · 26/10/2012 19:10

Our other little girl is called Julia, just thinking of something a bit more exotic to compliment Julia.

Agree, but I do like Sorrel.

Sorry, but I'm going to be cruel to be kind.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! People will take the piss for ever and ever. Don't do it.

messtins · 26/10/2012 19:00

Rosemary
Lavender
Minty (short for Araminta)
Flat leaf parsley

Nope, sorry, I don't think herb names is a good theme to pursue.

PickledFanjoCat · 26/10/2012 18:58

Spicy.

AThingInYourLife · 26/10/2012 18:57

Don't be ridiculous.

:o

Coriander? :o

If she's twins they could be Carrot and Coriander. Or Tomato and Basil.
Vegetable names are a bit hippy.

cheeseandmushroomghostie · 26/10/2012 18:53

Depends on your surname. If its Green, I wouldn't.

bigbluebump · 26/10/2012 18:52

Reminds me of the Sally Gardner book - great story. Never met a real life Coriander, but why not?
