I feel exactly like that DancerandPrancer. We've managed to sort out a boy's name, but if this one is a girl, she is going to be nameless for a while because we just can't find anything we like/agree on.

I love Catherine. My niece's has a different version of it. It is Catarina.

Pollyanna · 23/01/2008 15:16

Catherine is my favourite.

I didn't love any of my children's names apart from 1 as I had to compromise with dh over them all. I do love the names now though.

I am pg with dc5 now and can't think of a name I love either. I'm hoping one will come to me (Catherine is on my shortlist too )

Thanks everyone. The problem is I dont love any of them. We have one DD already and think she has a great name. Really worried about not finding a name I like as much. Anyone else felt like that?

Think Jessica is very very popular - depends if that bothers you or not.
