Who has picked out names for their baby?
Ours are currently :
Linus William (if it's a boy)
Emilia Daisy (if it's a girl)

I do keep changing my mind though!

We were going to have an Annabel if ds was a girl. You dont really hear it ATM as Isabelle is more popular. I like it as it can be shortened to Anna as she gets older.

Anyway we had a Joshua instead.

I think there would be a problem with Phaedra because of the spelling and in cards and things she would get Faydra which would irritate after a while. I am Joanna and get called Joanne all the time so I shortened it to Jo. I have friends called Keren and Siaron and they have probs with the spelling as Siaron is just a posh way of spelling Sharon!!

Apologies for hijacking but can anyone suggest names that could be shortened to anna ? Have only come up with Annabel and Anastacia so far ?

hi starlover - baby boy born today Riley John - see birth announcements.

berolina · 11/01/2005 17:14

Snap starlover on the girl's name - we'd picked Emilia for a girl, but we won't be using it (this time round!) as we've been told he's a boy (90% but we definitely saw the boy's bits). He's going to be Samuel, middle names as yet undecided although one of them will probably be Michael.

If you dont like Bert but you do like Al, what abotu Alfie or Alfred instead?

GeorgesMummy · 11/01/2005 16:27

I don't think so as we just associate it with a little girl. Boys names are so hard for us as well as George was a name I have always liked and I am finding it hard to think of a name I like as much. It's definitely harder naming a second child I think, we would like 4 children in total but at the rate we're going 3 of them will remain nameless!

I don't mind Juliet being shortened as I think Jools is a nice name but am unsure of Albert as I love the name and I don't mind Al but can't stand the thought of Albie of Bert- sounds crazy I know but I just like Albert - maybe I need to rethink!

Juliet will always be Jools, which is nice.

As for below, Linus - cute he's the one in Peanuts with the security blanket isn't he. Nice name.

GeorgesMummy · 11/01/2005 16:02

Hello everyone, I'm 15 wks pregnant at the mo and already has DS 15 months old. We've definitely decided on Juliet for a girl but are unsure about a boys name as we want it to go with George, our current favourite is Albert. I'd be interested in anyones thoughts on this as we have decided not to tell anyone the names until the birth.

nailpolish.. i can't believe she did that! that is SO mean!
I don't have any friends/cousins/anyone else expecting at the moment so I think I'll be ok.
and I wouldn't really mind if anyone on here wanted to use "my" names either

Kelly1978 · 11/01/2005 12:29

Oooh that's nasty!
I have several bitchy cousins, but none of them are expecting yet!!

I called my ds Jack Elliot and my mate went and called hers Jack Ellis which I thought was rather a wierd thing to do, but at least I got there first!

nailpolish · 11/01/2005 12:26

dont mean to be a bore but i had a name picked out since before i was pg which i had always loved. when i got pg i told everyone the name. my cousin, who was due before me, had her baby a few days before i did and she called her baby that name. she had known about me wanting the name and she was very smug about it. i hardly speak to her now, she is a cow.

anyway, my 2nd pg i didnt tell anyone at all my chosen names.

just a word of warning, although you probably dont have a bitch of a cousin like me

ps dd1 suits the new name dh picked out for her better anyway!

Thanks nailpolish.

At the moment they are nicknamed paneer and muttar (cheese and peas), a joke cos of the craze for naming babies after food. My partner has been trying to allocate names, but I want to see when they come out as to who suits which name.
