have posted these names before but am always interested in feedback ... you often get different reactions on MN at different times...

girl: Anoushka
boy: Leon

My shirt dresses are from Asda and Primark! I'm sheer class .

I was thinking about you the other day as I am applying to do an english degree and need to take with me some examples of my written work. Aside from my MN posts, I don't have any. I am planning on writing a piece about Nestle and the baby milk scandal. What sort of 'style' should I write it? Or should I just see how it evolves?

How's life with three treating you?

Congrats - great name choice

blimey, no - didn't mean that I didn't like the dresses - was just particularly taken with the coat!

I am on the hunt for a plaid shirt dress ... loads around but just seem a bit pricey, given the use I intend them for ... where did you get your shirt dresses?

OP posts:

suwoo · 28/09/2009 20:12

I knew you wouldn't like the other stuff much but the coat is fab! No doubt you are thinner than me though. WW for me tomorrow.

I've been looking for this conversation on Style & Beauty and getting very confused!! we may have to move things over there ... I love your coat!!!

I ventured out into the world today with the 3 dcs ... boyfriend jeans (can't bear the sight of my mat ones any more!) with black t-shirt and Isabella Oliver cable cosy, plus Ash silver high tops ... trying to convince myself that I am thin again because of dramatic 12lb weight loss since weekend LOL!!

suwoo · 27/09/2009 22:09

Trying again with the coat

suwoo · 27/09/2009 22:07

Well, I have 2 shirt dresses and then this dress and this one from Ebay. I still can't wear jeans so am still living in leggings and jeggings. I have a big woolly grey cardi and this coat/cardi thing.

What do you think to my coat?

LetThemEatCake · 27/09/2009 21:49

thanks suwoo! it actually quite suits him. And the dog across the road is called Aslan ....

have not ventured away from my white stuff bendy wendys and primark camis so far ... but bought a button-through denim dress from ebay for £2.99... turns out to be dotty p, no less a bargain for that though!!

what about you?

OP posts:

suwoo · 27/09/2009 21:36

I know! Was going to CAT ypu to congratulate you. Who cares what I say anyway .

We can compare bf wardrobes now.....mine is decidedly cheaper more 'high street' ebay than yours.

Well done and enjoy him

LetThemEatCake · 27/09/2009 21:17

ah well. 'Tis a boy, and his name is Leon Magnus

OP posts:

suwoo · 25/09/2009 19:52

Aslan is better than Leon IMO
Sending you dilation vibes.

LetThemEatCake · 25/09/2009 17:25

been having contractions all day, hurry up baby!!!

Still no takers for Aslan??

OP posts:

baskingseals · 24/09/2009 21:20

I love Leon, think it's great, also like Anoushka Good luck

KleineMaus · 24/09/2009 21:12

Enjoy the curry! I'm off for one tomorrow.

MaggieVirgoLeo · 24/09/2009 21:10

I think you should put Magnus in the first name position. would blend in better than Leon.

LetThemEatCake · 24/09/2009 20:55

dd Phoenix and ds Cassian

Off for a curry now!

good luck KleineMaus - hope it's swift and speedy!!

OP posts:

artichokes · 24/09/2009 20:50

Love Anoushka but I am afraid I feel the opposite about Leon.

What are your other DCs called?

MaggieVirgoLeo · 24/09/2009 20:49

Anouska ok.

I prefer Leo to Leon. It's more classic.

Original poster

LetThemEatCake · 24/09/2009 20:46

Magnus is still in there, but as 2nd name
Leon Magnus

Regal and mythical, I think. I don't get the chaviness of Leon, but p'raps cos am Aussie and the only 2 I ever knew had uni lecturer, leftie parents! Don't know any child Leons but 2 Leonidas and loads of Leos
Funny bc have also been told my dd's name is chavvy I must have some inner chav in there trying to get out!!!!
Bonsoir: love Jonas, was on our list for ds but had dreadfully weird and aggressive French neighbour with same name, which struck it from all future lists!!

OP posts:

MamaLazarou · 24/09/2009 20:13

I like both your names. Good luck with everything darling!

Persephoponce · 24/09/2009 19:34

Good names. I especially love Anouska (prefer it without the 'h', but that's minor!).

KleineMaus · 24/09/2009 19:33

Forgot to say, hope it happens for you soon. I'm due on Sunday and am mighty impatient already.

KleineMaus · 24/09/2009 19:32

I was just about to say, what about Magnus, but I see others have beaten me to it. I remember your earlier thread because Magnus is top of my list. That said, I like Leon too. Not so sure about Anoushka, although I wanted Anouk like someone else suggested but DH vetoed.
