Huge Congrats on the healthy birth of Belle Baldwin. What are everyone's thoughts on the name?

I like Belle. Not sure about Baldwin.

She was 35 + 5 so just over 4 weeks early (hence not a bad weight).

I only know this as her due date was 2 days before mine by the way

FAB5 · 14/04/2011 18:49

My thoughts are it is Holly and Dan's choice and I just hope all are well.

Inoffensive, and a bit boring tbh. Just like Holly.

Sharbie: agree about Disney, but is there really one in Corrie?

(I really can't think of one, but I'm not having my most accurate day today!)

DramaInPyjamas · 14/04/2011 18:53

I think Sharbie meant
Belle = Disney
Baldwin = Corrie

?

scottishmummy · 14/04/2011 18:54

does anyone actually care what names schlebs chose?
face it you're never going to meet her or call it name the park.so whats the big deal?

Scottishmummy - I believe I'm right in thinking everyone is entitled to have a discussion about it, yes, we might be the same people who buy trash celebrity magazines and read the gossip columns etc but if you're not interested then don't look at the thread and then post on it. You seem to think it's a waste of your time so don't waste it Hmm

She their baby as long as they like the name does it matter.

meditrina · 14/04/2011 19:04

Ah! With you!

Belle is a lovely name.

scottishmummy · 14/04/2011 19:04

opine away about schlebs,as i will opine too.see that's how it works on a discussion forum

it is aibu, not media thread.so naturally you rae inviting responses.so dont get all harrumphy and huffy faced if im not pissing my pants with joy about whatsherface called her baby

if you only want gushy answers and clapping perhaps dont ask "am i being unreasonable.."

atthecarwash · 14/04/2011 19:05

5lb....tiny baby. Glad both doing well but don't like Belle...too girly

ValiumBandwitch · 14/04/2011 19:06

i like Belle. Presume Baldwin is just a middle name though. A sur name after somebody in the family.

ValiumBandwitch · 14/04/2011 19:07

i don't buy trashy magazines, or any magazines, but I can have a conversation on mumsnet

squeakytoy · 14/04/2011 19:07

there is a Belle in Emmerdale

I was asking aibu about the name not aibu about being authorised to have an opinion.

But you're right, of course it is a discussion forum and everyone is entitled to say what they think, just find it a bit strange that many of your posts seem to involve you 'not caring' yet you still take the time to read and post, hey ho, each to their own though.
