eerrmmmmmmm, maybe a tad more than most

but in my defence Lockets, Sweetkitty and Scorpio are as bad

and we're all very polite and say things like 'not to my taste' rather than

dear god no its fecking awful what are you thinking you mad hormonal deranged pregnant woman

except in my case re Gregory and I have apologised for that

OK in no particular order,

Helen
Leah
Anna
Kate
Thea
Verity (DH says NO to this though)

I am sure there were some others but can't think of them at the moment! Should have written them down.

are you going to tell us your girls names Cece?

lockets I oddly don't feel the need to use our boys name for DD3 seeing as you used it, am quite satisfied with that

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 22:45

exactly!! although I need to have about another 6 kids to use up all the names I'm currently in love with

I am not stressing about it but I do like to discuss if for fun (partly). I am sure we will come up with something by the time it comes out. As I said if it is a girl we already have several names we like so it should be easier...LOL

mine too ladies, I desperately wanted DD3's name for DD2 but DH was having none of it and then announced when we were pregnant with DD3 that it had grown on him

Heh, my DP rubbished me when I suggested what became DS's name, then a few weeks later tried to claim that he'd come up with it himself!

dizzydixies · 07/03/2009 22:37

my DH hated talking about names, which didn't help me as I'm a tad obsessive about it

just try to narrow it down to a few you can muse over so once baby comes you can see what he looks like

otherwise it could end in near divorce and violence like here
