Morris then,if you have another boy later, you could have Morris Senior and Morris Minor. Not that Maurice spelling though. The one Americans pronounce as

Skipped back a bit - have not read whole thing! But 'nature' good.

Have you tried picking up a plant field guide and looking in the index - english and latin.

I tried this for dd, didn't work, but it was a useful exercise.

Any other botanists out there with suggestions?

You have to think about what the plant is like tho'. Obv for a boy trees are better than wifty wafty fleurs. Also need to think about ecology - don't want to pick anything madly invasive - maybe I'm thinking too much into this one!

harpsichordcarrier · 17/03/2008 15:16

actually I think everyone has a pretty good idea of what franny likes as her ds's name has been mentioned about ten times!
she is just picky just has high standards

sorkycake · 17/03/2008 15:13

Franny what are your girls' names, maybe we'd have a better idea of what you like?

harpsichordcarrier · 17/03/2008 15:11

I was just thinking what a lovely souvenir this would be for dc2 franny - print out this thread for them.
