Hi everyone, I have been thinking about baby names since before I knew I was pregant. We had pretty much settled on Isla Lily as we know we are having a girl and I always said that if we had a girl I would give her a middle name after my grandmother who died. My problem now is I have just lost my grandfather last week and feel i should put his name in too ( Robert). Im not sure on Bobbie and also my cousin gave her dd the middle name lilli. Any thoughts?

Surname was Fryer, so I think thats a no-no! I think Roberta sounds quite old and when you put Isla Lily Bobbi together, it sounds like "I love boobies" well it does when my Scottish husband says it!

Could you use Robyn instead of Bobbie or Roberta? I think it sounds softer and has less of the 'Nigella' element to it.
