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.)

That's really spooky Bea, Elsie was the first name that popped into my head - no idea why, not one we even considerd, but suddenly I love it!

Right now our front runner is Margaret-called-Maggie, Binary. :)

Past favorites have been Sophie, Frances, and Annabel. None seem to be it though.

I loved Philippa/Pippa for years but now... :( Although I'm American,so it's a bit more removed.
