Why am I pregnant again ffs? Stupid Catholic upbringing. My body will an unsalvageable wreck and we will be living in penury for the next two decades.

Anyway. Need a girls name. I am utterly devoid of inspiration, being interested only in grab bags of Skips and having naps.

Already have an Agnes and an Enid. Surname Stephens.

Dislike: frilliness; 'ah' endings; 'classic' names.

Like: fabulous names. I was keen on Ramona the last go-round, but think I might have lost my love for it.

Any suggestions?

Congratulations Maureen. I thought of your thread the other day and worried the little mite was called Beryl.

Welcome to the world Marilyn!

Now be a good Catholic and go get cracking on the next Wink

I'm hilarious, I know.

She's really called Marilyn Anita.

Everyone is well. And happy not to have to think about names anymore Grin

Wow, this thread is long! I haven't read it, but I did notice that you mentioned Ramona. That's on our list. Love it. Also love Lois, Arwen, Camille, Ines and Estelle.

OP's head exploded after post 600 on an innocent baby names thread and she promptly left to register her as Ellie Rose Grin

In many ways, Mary/Maria/Maryam etc is the name... I mean, if it's good enough for the mother of JC... Wink

Think it sounds plain to many people, maybe because we're used to frillier names at the moment.

Thank you. Flowers I'm surprised people are rude about Mary, it's a very pretty name.
