I know a tahlia I think that one is the nicest! I also know a lila but she is Spanish and actually a Dolores but she hates it!

She does, she does! She says (I quote): 'Hormones have f*cked up my judgement. Are these names nice or ming-a-licious?'

ooh yes..Maria
that's the best

Troutpout · 29/01/2008 16:18

Erm it's her baby tell her not to listen to anyone else.

Does she really want to know?

IF she does...then i'm afraid i don't like any of them much. Roseanna is the best imo. But what do i know...i toyed with some right shockers when last pg

Hmmmm. I have reserved judgement so far, as she's my friend, but interested to know what sort of name's people think are neither 'too common' nor 'too pretentious' (for my own research purposes, should I ever stop breeding boys and have a girl!).

Xia because seems so out of place on list, in comparison with the others.

Not because it's a Chinese name!
