It's a shame you have to listen to DH/DP isn't it? Loads of my lovely names are beeing vetoed!

Don't listen to other people rockinmum, I thoroughly regret doing that and wish I'd called DC4 what I wanted to call her , and although she's only 5 she wishes I had too...it was another "old lady name" apparently, am now seriously considering deed poll!!Lorna Margaret is a lovely name

No no no to old lady's name. It's lovely (she says, rethinking her own choice!) No really, I won't poach it, but I do love it.

I think it is lovely

A little but I don't think there is anything wrong with that... better than being very "now"
I think it sounds pretty.

I like it, lovely- not an old lady name. I know a girl in her 20's called Lorna. Some people will always make comments no matter what, as long as you like it.
