My name is Frances, I'd like to thank you for putting me on your list of faves! For the record: I did not like my name as a little child because of it being unusual but the older I got the prouder I got! I love my name now.
I made sure my daughter got an ostentatious name to be teased about too: Philomena Grace

Hmmmmm

I take ages to names kids and always have shortlists of about 25 names, but

maybe

Gabriella / Ella
or
Sophia
or
Jessica

maybe.

But they were all shortlists with DD3 and didn't make it so I'd probably start again with brand new never thought of names and chose from there.

Because the logic goes that you may have eaten BSE riddled beef and have unknowingly contracted CJD.

Many countries have that rule.

I'd call her Kate/ Katie

I am jealous Lockets! Such lovely names!

I had two boys so I ended up with a Theo instead as I didn't know if i'd ever end up with a girl now!

Dannat · 26/11/2008 22:33

I have a Natalie but my imaginary DD's names would be Hannah or Caitlin.

Joella

Winfred

Or Miriam
