Ok - I'm 38 weeks now and we are no closer to deciding on a name for DC2 - a girl.

I like slightly old lady names. DH is boring more conventional.

Please slag off discuss our shortlist - most of which are mine I have to confess.

Florence - my granny's name. I love it but not mad on the nick-names.
Martha - I really love this and would go well with our surname and DS's name. DH not so keen.
Edith - shortened to Edie. DH likes this best of the granny names, but I am not so sure.
Erin - not in the same granny category at all. DH likes - I think it's OK but I don't love it.

Oh gawd - please help us decide. Have a glass of wine and be as brutal as you like (whilst bearing in mind that I am very hormonal and easily moved to sobbing).

Love Martha. Edith is nice too. I don't understand the appeal of Florence and Erin.
