Got boy name sorted
Girl was going to be Martha but one of my best friends is having a baby before me and Martha is also her fav. So what else might I like? Strong but pretty. Quite like Thea?

I know a few faiths born recently.
Nice to see Thea on the lists of those who also like Martha, think its definitely in second place. Just need to persuade OH.
I used to love Ava but there seems to be quite a few near me. Eve a best friend has one.

Orla, Martha and Elsa are still my top three massagegirl!

Are you sure you can't have Martha? Worth chatting to your friend, maybe she isn't as stuck on it as you!

Forget me nots we have similar tastes! Orla we can't have, Elsa I like but OH doesn't. Basking he can up with phoebe this morning, I'm mulling it over! Soooo hard as we were both in agreement on Martha which is rare for us to like the same. Trying to fall in love with another name.
