Ondine is my fave girl's name. If I should ever be blessed with a dd she will be Ondine.

We're having a Lorna?

Seems pretty rare where we are but as soon as you say it everyone knows where it is from lol

friends little girl is CARLA, she is a gorgeous little thing with blue eyes and dark curly hair

greenelizabeth · 05/07/2008 10:48

Rosamund is nice. Could be Rosie or Romy too, until she is older.

haha - "bouder" means:

1° montrer du mécontentement tout en restant silencieux, passif.
2° se montrer indifférent ou hostile à quelque chose.

Very apt for a toddler.

'Tallulah, a sister to Boudicca'

Boudi is quite a good nickname... It probably means something rude in French, though.

"In reception next year are a Doris,edie, pearl, rosamund and dilly... Plus 4 sophies 2 mollys and a sapphire"

That says it all, really, doesn't it.

I'd go for Rampart.

PiperG · 04/07/2008 20:29

er, sorry sweetkitty, i missed your post - have said exactly the same as you ...!

PiperG · 04/07/2008 20:28

instead of Romy how about Romilly - I love this and would have considered it if we didn't have a mouthful of a surname beginning with R ...

Piffle · 04/07/2008 20:21

mirrin
emilia
tamsin

Think old dame names are back
In reception next year are a Doris,edie, pearl, rosamund and dilly... Plus 4 sophies 2 mollys and a sapphire
the 5 boys are far more usual

Is Isabelle an uncommon name?

Cecilia and Florence more uncommon I think.

lalabigbird · 04/07/2008 16:49

i havent seen any isabelle's yet!! thats my toddlers name.

Isabelle cecilia florence.

stroppyknickers · 04/07/2008 16:48

Willow, Betsy, Rumer or Mabel? If I ever persuade dh to have number 5, and eat lemions or something to get a girl...

TheFallenMadonna · 04/07/2008 16:43

Ah the Times...

I saw a birth announcemnt the other week.

'Tallulah, a sister to Boudicca'

I thought of MN...

lalabigbird · 04/07/2008 16:33

Hows about Thalia?

She is the greek muse of music and comedy, in greek mythology.

can be pronounced feelia or tha-leaha.

i only know of one, and shes my sister!!

older names are also good: freya. or shortnings of names: emmie, izzie, mia

onceinalifetime · 04/07/2008 14:55

How about Fabienne, which is French but easy for most people to pronounce I would have thought.

sweetkitty · 04/07/2008 14:45

Romilly is lovely, our surname begins with R so I can't have R names.

Yes they do.

My Nina is 17 months.

greenelizabeth · 04/07/2008 13:38

em, yes they do. I've seen it in The Times a few times recently, and if my son had been a girl, he was going to have been Sylvie Nina.

egypt · 04/07/2008 06:44
