have we had Penny yet? [too lazy to check back emoticon]

Trinity - chavvy

What's your absolute favourite right now - if you HAD to choose right now what would it be if it was just up to you?

DH likes Luna, Ember and Coral....

I think he's aware that he needs to help come up with more names!!!

oooh I quite like Ariel!

Thyme and Flora have been poo pooed by DH
Autumn was a contender but I think I may have gone off that.
We have a Willow (love love love) and although I do like Meadow, it sounds too similar, so I think that's out.

Ariel! Think mermaid not tv or washing powder.

I like Flora too - I thought of it for a millisecond when pg and then remembered the margarine too.

Fleur would work though.

Skye
autumn
April may/maya June July august/a march
merry

Thyme

Leaf

Berry

Blaze

my BIL has a niece called Emerald. not entirely sure myself, but she seems to live with it OK

Solace I think is a very depressing name. But then I think Hope is a terrible name too - like everything is bad and all you have left is hope. Solace sounds like what you give someone when they have suffered a loss, to me.

PrincessPeaHead · 20/05/2008 12:18

how about a bird? Lark or Linnet or something? Probably not Thrush or Grouse though

Bodkin · 20/05/2008 12:18

I think Clover is pretty and very unusual, but not so unusual that people would be about it... only problem is the "low fat spread connotations" (this coming from a RL Flora.... )

lollipopmother · 20/05/2008 12:14

Opal as in Opal Fruits?! Well at least it's a discontinued line I suppose, most people won't think of it, I must just have my mind on sweets at the moment!

taffy101 · 19/05/2008 22:04

Opal reminds me of golden girls - is one of them called that?

francagoestohollywood · 19/05/2008 22:04

they were: dorothy, rose, blanche and sophia. I actually like all their names.
