Am pregnant with DC2, and this time we are having a little girl (YAY!).

Since I was a little girl I've had the name Tiggy picked out as my future daughter's name. I absolutely love it and can not think of a single other name that I like better than this one.

The problem you ask? Well, my DP's surname is Winkle. Yes, that's right, her name would be Tiggy Winkle. I know you are all probably laughing, but I still love it! I am just picturing the nursery all decorated in a Beatrix Potter theme and think it would be really cute.

Do you think it would be cruel? I'm thinking that she will probably one day want to get married so its not like it will be he name forever. Or she could change it when she is 18 if she likes.

I also think the name goes well with her brothers name. He is William but we call him Willy.

It's sad I always wanted to use the name Jemima but think she might get ridiculed as my DPs surname is Puddleduck....

C'mon really??

My name is Peter Rabbit, and I'm a woman.

So I say go for it!

I am pregnant with dc5, when ttc my mum said we had to call the baby Tiger. Now I'm pregnant the name has stuck and I have said that if its a girl I will use the nickname Tiggy. I like it.

Very funny Smile

If, on the slight off chance, you're not actually joking. Do you really need to ask?
