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.)

Today's choice (tee hee can see this stretching far ahead) is Romy.

lottiegarbanzo · 22/02/2013 08:30

Xanthe is today's random choice.

More consistently Phoebe or Felicity.

Or maybe Petra or Philomena.

It would depend on circumstances.

I suppose it would depend on what she looked like... but I'd hope she'd look like a Seraphina.
