I guess it'll be June, Marlene, Queenie, Malcolm, Alan, Patricia.......

...and we'll love them and think they're sooooo cute.

Anne's House of Dreams (?)

I wanted to call dd Audrey, but everyone thought I was mad.

She had baby Joyce and then Jem in Anne's House of Dreams, and then by Anne of Ingleside she has 5 children (or 6 if you count little Joyce, which she does!). In Anne of Ingleside she then has one more (baby Marilla, Rilla for short), taking it up to 6!

I actually really like Audrey, Phyllis and Joyce. Audrey is timeless, Phyllis is from the Railway Children, and Joyce is what Anne of Green Gables called her first baby who died shortly after birth. Love them all!

cadelaide - we call my dd2 Reenie! Her name isn't Irene though. It just sort of happened. We call her "Teeny Weeny Reenie" as a joke and she thinks it is hilarious (she is just 2)

PrincessPeaHead · 13/03/2008 11:30

Ah you see I think Audrey and Irene aren't bad names at all so that's funny. I wouldn't particularly use them but I can see them being hugely fashionable in a few years, especially Audrey...

lol about the staples bundle. I used to staple up my lovely a-line heavy tweed school uniform skirt and the staples would rip the skin behind my knees at odd moments. strangely I found this preferable to getting out a needle and thread and spending 2 minutes sewing it up...

i knew a very sweet, vulnerable looking boy at school called Gerald. me and my friend Karen sort of adopted him. his blazer didn't fit him (way too large) and his trouser hems were held up with staples..
