Found 'the one' - and it's not Beauden [grin]

[arizonagirl]

Hi everyone,

Well, after a few days of constant name games, me and dh are sorted. Thanks to everyone's help we have decided not to go with Beauden after the BAD reaction on here. Or Indigo or Lyric or Soren. Lots of you still will hate our choices but I think you know when you have decided because you don't care less anymore what others think (in a nice way).

Soooo. our final choices are:

Girl: Sonnet Melody
Boy: Winter Beau Alexander.

See, I still have my Beau in there .

I think these fit in really well with our other dc. The only big problem is that we have an Autumn so it may well sound contrived. But they aren't going to be joined at the hip and will have their own identities.

One last favour!!!

Can anyone suggest a nice third name to go with Sonnet Melody? (Our other three have all got two middle names so I want to do the same).

Was thinking perhaps:

Sonnet Melody Grace
Sonnet Melody Eve
Sonnet Melody Erin

Want a classic name she can fall back on if she hates her other two names.

Anyway, thank you for all your help. I think I can almost leave these boards in peace now

I love Beau, and I love your girls name :-) your as loopy as I am and I love it...Iv gone for Indie Rose despite reactions on here for my little girl :-)...Considering changing to Indigo though, I love it!

Thanks laurenamium. I think Indie Rose is lovely, but Indigo Rose is even more beautiful. Hmmm... better stop thinking about that combination - it sounds lovely. Good luck!

thanks arizona...im seriously considering it! she will be one of the two either way!Good luck to you too!

I think you should call him...

Rainbow Jem Beau

OP, not sure if the decision has been made, but I thought about a couple of good names for you - Whistler (like the artist/ ski resort, and similar to Winter, but not a season) and Sable which is a soft sounding nature name.

Thanks softnstrong - think Rainbow is a bit too far out even for me, although I heard of someone using that name and thought it sounded lovely. Hmmmm...just noticed the Jem Beau - are you trying to lead me down a crazy path???

Think we are sorted. deliakate, yes, Whistler is really nice. Will pass it over to dh. My family had a dog called Sable so that one would be out. Thanks everyone. Still checking in and no baby yet

Elizabeth is a good middle name. I like Soren and would have chosen Soren Alexander were I you :) Good luck!

Come on arizonagirl, stop messing about and have that baby! Can't wait for you to curve-ball us all and call it Sarah or David.

sorry skippingturtle....still waiting and not due for another couple of weeks. Did expect this little one to arrive early though.

Will let you know when Sarah or David is here safely with us . Wish me luck - very risky birth ahead and I will be so glad to be on the other side.

Oh scary arizona - have you talked about the birth problems on another thread or are you keeping quiet until after the event? I wish you so much luck with it - everything crossed.

ooo arizona - hope the birth goes well and I will also if you end up calling it something plain and simple after all this!

laurenamium - I know an India Rose here, who is mostly called Indie Rose.

You sure two weeks isn't long enough for you to come around to Zephyr??

Everything crossed here arizona, I think I have more anticipation for the arrival of your baby than I did for my own!

Sorry but I really don't like Winter - it just makes me think of cold, grey and general misery.

Ha ha - thumbwitch ... will keep Zephyr in my back pocket.

Sleepyhorse - Winter has gone, thanks to the wonderful mums on here. I still like it though!!

Skippingturtle, thanks for the nice comment. It should all be ok. It's just that I have had three caesereans and the decision has been made for me to try and have this one naturally. Long story but safer than a fourth operation which would be complicated. Seen a chiropractor who thinks he might have addressed the problem but only time will tell!!!

Will keep you posted.

Well now, if you'd told us that before I'm sure us MNers could have come up with some highly unusual vagina-related names!!

Veeback?

Seriously though good luck with it.

I think Indie Rose is very pretty! I love color names (especially Indigo and Grey) but our surname is Brick. So.....those are definitely out. Plus we went pretty safe with DS (Sam) so I feel like we can't come out of left field on another one and have a Moondance Serenity or summat. :o

Don't want to be pedantic, but...

Isn't Sonnet Melody classically Iambic Pentameter (especially Shakespearian)

DaemonBarber - Shakespeare wrote his sonnets in iambic pentameter, but the phrase "Sonnet Melody" is trochaic trimeter.

Lurcherlover reveals herself as an English teacher on maternity leave with too much time on her hands....

Hey, girls - you are talking a different language! I have googled Sonnet Melody and read the connotations but it doesn't seem like a show stopper. Is a trochaic trimeter a negative connotation?

Help! I don't get all this new terminology and still love the name.

Heh heh! No, it's poetic rhythm. Trimeter means three beats to a line - SONnet MELoDY - you put the stress on the capitalised syllables. Because the rhythm is stress-unstress it's trochaic. Just a bit of geekiness really, nothing sinister!

How are things going arizona? Has Sonnet/Skyler(Boden) threatened an appearance yet?

Beauden Arizona Winter has arrived.......

No, lola0109 - still waiting for our little bundle. And no, we haven't changed our name choices (did have a quick wobble after the Shakesperian comparisons mind).

Still haven't packed my bag - bought everything, just need to throw it all in the bags. Really worried this time - gets worse at nights, probably because that's when it's all likely to kick off.

How are you? Any news your end?

Thinking of you arizonagirl... you had us all going there for a minute - can see you in the delivery suite tossing a coin for a name choice!! lol

Keep going Arizona - fingers crossed for you
