Mrs Badger. Do you think we're being helpful?

cadelaide · 23/05/2008 11:05

CountessDracula, that would be pronounced Aah-noose, I take it?

(well, I don't mean I take it that way obviously....oh...you know what I mean)

PuppyMonkey · 23/05/2008 11:02

I've got a Madeleine..?

MrsBadger · 23/05/2008 11:01

Cope?

Teuch · 23/05/2008 11:01

I hate 'y' for 'i' anyway so I would always go for Robin.

Personal choice though.

And I know a few female Robins.

LuckySalem · 23/05/2008 11:01

My daughter is Aaliyah RobYn cos I always thought it had to be spelt that way.

slayerette · 23/05/2008 11:00

If Auden's a possibility, you have a whole range to choose from! Blake, Coleridge, Yeats, Heaney, Wordsworth, Byron, Rossetti, Plath, Hughes, Armitage, Duffy, Zephaniah...

Actually, some of those aren't too bad

CountessDracula · 23/05/2008 10:58

MrsBadger · 23/05/2008 10:58

Really sorry if i'm repeating but haven't read through them all but how about Amelie?

TEUCH - It's spelt RobYn for a girl.

MrsBadger · 23/05/2008 10:57

if they're thinking about Auden they're hardly going to go for Harriet

Spudulike? Kwikfit?

Carnival · 23/05/2008 10:57

My favourite, but not very unusual, is Genevieve

talkingmongoose · 23/05/2008 10:57

Um, doesn't Thea end in a?

Maud?

you're going to end up with one of those names discussed at length on a previous thread - Bailey, Tyler, Nico, McKenzie...

How about Madison?
