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?

Conceptua is nice (haven't RTFT!)
If you're looking for Biblical names, Ruth is lovely, or any variant of Eve or Mary (I am valiantly posting on, in the absence of RT whole Fucking T!).

Well I'm an unoffended Irish Catholic, so not offensive to everyone.

Fanny. Not trying to be funny either Wink

reuset · 25/05/2015 22:07

Ah maybe so, outself Grin

It's like OCD thread, in a way (some of you may remember). In that anywhere else other than Baby Names the OP would be flamed for coming out with outmoded, inaccurate, sexist stereotypical nonsense like that and trying to make a weird sort of joke of it. Offensive to us Catholics too (I'm French Catholic with Irish heritage also).

I fucking love Bunty, as a name, and spent most of today telling dh we should have named dd this (he essentially ignored me). She loves Chicken Run, so it would have worked well.
Anyway, haven't RTFT, so maybe Bunty has already been pissed upon, from a great height. But I think it's great.

Roxybaby12 - your DD's name is beautiful, just not for me. Thanks for the good luck - I'll need it!

OP posts:
MothershipG · 25/05/2015 21:54

Am I too late to throw Vanda in? I know it ends in 'a' but it starts with 'V' Wink

reuset · 25/05/2015 21:52

I thought you were off to name change again, Mitzi?
