dizzydixies - How about 'Olympia', shortened to 'Pia'? (as in Gods of Greek mythology)

Goes well with your other girls' names, I think.

Isabella
Alexandra
Olympia

coteDAzur I think Olympia is a bit ambitious for our family tis FAB though and will give it a great deal of thought

VictorianSqualor · 02/06/2008 13:06

What would you shorten Cordelia too?
What will the middle name be?
What if you have a boy?

CantSleepWontSleep · 02/06/2008 20:41

I have it. Roberta. Bob, Bobbi, Bobby, Bertie, Berta.

VictorianSqualor · 02/06/2008 20:44

Matches my DS1 then CSWS, means Dizzy has to use it

CantSleepWontSleep · 02/06/2008 20:52

That's it then dizzy. VS and I have decided. You cannot argue.

Case closed.

Next!

PMSL you are such a wonderful bunch of loons

Olympia completely thrown out by dh and to be fair he has a point it IS our local swimming pool

Roberta I quite like it BUT (and I can hear you all groaning at another but my dad AND my brother are both Robert and I don't want them to think that she would be named after either of them - tis not an honour I wish to bestow

VS boys choices are already picked, further up the thread, as I've never had a chance to use them yet

Cassius
Jude
Reuben/Rudy
Corin
Caleb

Olympia = beaten up in a Scottish playground for me sorry.

Cassia would be my choice out of the ones you have picked so far.

I think you are having a boy anyway dizzy
