And said, "you have seven seconds to name this child," what would your off-the-top-of-my-head response be? (Besides, obviously, wondering who this loon passing a baby around is.)

Thanks Cupoftea, Beatrice is lovely.

I'm glad most people (that I've told we may use it)seem to like Margaret. It might just have to be it, DH and I certainly can't seem to agree on anything else.

Marilyn. I love this name!

Stella- dh couldn't get past the beer-twit- it's strong and lovely.

Wren is fabulous though-I have only met one, but as a Jenny it is my pet name Smile

oh Binary that is what my dear Czech friend calls me! (Czech version of my name, rather than utterly random)

OP, I like Margaret/Maggie a lot

also:
Tabitha
Celie/Celine/Sylvie
Seraphina

so don't ask me why 3 month DD is Vivien Hmm

Ellen Susannah

That's her full name. Almost worth having another baby girl to use that one...

Lily

AmandaPayne · 22/02/2013 21:36

Oooh, so I don't have to take DH's opinion into account and I get to name all on my own?

Hermione, Esther or Margaret.

Beatrice. Because that was my daughter's name, and she's always my first thought. Smile

KenDoddsDadsDog · 22/02/2013 21:24

Aine or Cora

chickchickchickenkeeper · 22/02/2013 21:23

I know a lovely little Clover. :)

And I am Megan, myself!

If real-life scenario i.e. having baby with DH...Megan (DS3 would have been Megan)

If asked my own top favourite-and-slightly-way-out name...Clover (love love love it, DH said no way we're having a baby not a cow Hmm)

Clover is now earmarked for a future guinea pig Grin

Matilda was the first name that popped into my head. Not sure why!
Tilly I love.
Rowan was what my boys would have been if they were girls.
