I know this is probably a mad idea...

but what think ye of Prairie as a girl's name? I quite like the sound of it, as well as the landscape it evokes (which has family significance for me)...

(And it's not as hippy dippy as Meadow, surely?)

Prairie is nicer than Meadow, but please avoid Dawn as a middle name. Or Mary.

Ho ho, scurryfunge

This is a pretty academic discussion as I doubt DH will go for it...but still, fun to dream!

Ah, see I used to love Savannah - but it's rather too trendy now, methinks...

It's a very plain name

I think Tundra might have resonance with Mighty Boosh fans.

Terrible. It is every bit as hippy dippy as Meadow

It's up there with Savannah (yuk -sorry to anyone who as a Savannah)- why do you want to call your child after a huge area of grassland - you wouldn't pick Tundra, would you?

We love it!!

prairie dog would kill it for me...

Sounds ok...I think of meercats though and a little house

It's simply beautiful. For me it says gently blowing grasses under a wide pale blue sky, freedom, fresh air, and (if they hadn't all been killed off)a lone, doe eyed bison wandering at will across the vasty plain.
