Yes Jaffa- she loved it! When she was younger she used to dress up as Alice in Wonderland- i was very jealous!

i love sid! and martha's nice too

eae123 · 10/11/2014 20:38

I'm called Harriet, my sister is Alice and if my parents had another DD she would have been Martha

I love the name Martha and as a child I disliked my name but loved my sister's!

If you are thinking of potential nm's I had Hattie and sometimes Harry (which I hated!) but can't really think of a nm for the other two.

My name has definitely grown on me over the years but all 3 are beautiful!

Could Harriet have nn Etta or does that not make sense?

I really like all of them apart from Sid. Harriet is lovely, especially with the nn Hattie...

All lovely. Alice and Arthur are my favourites. Not sure about Sid. What about Stanley (Stan)? Harold (Harry)? Howard (Howie)?

Wow how refreshing to see such a great list of names....

I actually like them allSmile

IAmAPaleontologist · 09/11/2014 13:40

i love all the girls names. If ds2 had been a girl he would have been Miriam Alice. But he was a boy so he is Arthur Smile .

fancyacupoftea · 09/11/2014 13:40

Martha is my favourite from the girls list.
Really don't like Sid I'm afraid - Arthur is good if you can make it work for you.
