I knew someone called Triumph - how empowering is that? (Admittedly I never thought about cars or motorbikes then).

Fishie - are you able to disclose your DS's name or list a few, one of which is his to give me an idea of bird names??

Thanks so far everyone!
We are just having awful trouble finding a girls name that we can agree on and DH keeps going on about wanting a name that is also a familiar word, so I thought that I would put it to you all without any restrictions to see what came up.

I am getting horribly stressed about the whole thing

I like Liberty but it sounds stupid with our surname.

fishie · 17/05/2008 21:40

thankyouandgoodnight, what are you trying to go for?

i do agree with limiting choice a bit, but not if it is causing you this sort of nightmare, you must be drowning in names. and half the 'old english' ones mean stick, field or rock.

we went for must be english and not religious. ds is called after a bird.
