I have 2 boys Freddie and Dylan. I know that not everyone will like them but I love them!!

I was chatting to a friend who has an Amelia and a Sophie. Lovely names but I wouldn't choose them. We were discussing TTC DC3. She is TTC now and we are planning on trying next year.

She asked if I was going to call the next one a normal name as the boys have wierd names.

I am not sure what 'normal' names are. Can someone enlighten me please? Tempted to call DC3 Tarquin or something.

"normal" is a strange choice of words! Freddie and Dylan are perfectly proper names. Her choices are nice too but, like all names, dependent on fashion etc. I don't know any Amelias of my age but loads of small ones!

Those names are not weird at all.

Weird names are Avocado and Jumpjet, something like that.

It sounds like she's equating "normal" with "exactly to my taste". Ignore her! I think you're babies' names are lovely and not actually dissimilar in style to Amelia and Sophie.

Have you asked her what she considers normal?
