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

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 Grin.

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 Grin

OMG this is getting silly :o

I'm not keen on any of the names (sorry :)) but have been drawn in by Arizona's good humour and sheer determination not to be a sheep. So now I'm on the edge of my seat too and she's still holding on to it! Push woman, push!

:o

C'mon Arizona. You're just teasing us now, aren't you?! Eat spicy curry, pineapple and go for a bike ride on cobbles!

CheerfulYank · 07/11/2010 21:37

Jump up and down! Go for a fast car ride over railroad tracks! Go woman go!

Came across a "Boden" today and thought of you arizonagirl!

Hoping for news soon.

I wish people would stop bumping this thread Grin

Clary · 07/11/2010 21:52

Soz.

Evening!!! Nothing yet - but think things are starting to happen. Had some really strong contractions yet although they have stopped since getting children bathed/school stuff ready ie. not stopped.

Getting a sweep tomorrow (sorry if tmi) and a reflexologist/acupuncturist is visiting for two hours tomorrow. Determined not to end up with this scary section on Thursday (won't go into that story - that would be another long thread!)

Love our names - will let you know if we have a little Sonnet or a little Skyler (Skye).

Still time to rethink this thing - Beauden anyone?

Right, off to destress. Can't believe I was dreading labour so much - now I am just desperate to get this thing over with. Although I have just been really emotional after my little boy asked me to sing him a lullaby to help him get to sleep. Just found myself crying wondering what would happen if anything goes wrong. Sorry - stop being so miserable Arizonagirl.

Hopefully have some news soon.

Just to let you know - off to bed with really bad contractions. Will let you know - but think this might be my last post for a few days. If I am still waiting will post tomorrow.

Did you know that Skyler is unisex?

So if you like it, you can have a little Skyler or a little Skyler Grin

Good luck! Everything crossed!

BonzoDooDah · 08/11/2010 08:42

Oooooh Arizona good luck! Post to us from hospital! We have everything crossed xxx

Galena · 08/11/2010 08:52

Oooh, good luck! Can't wait to hear the news!

Rafi · 08/11/2010 09:00

I thought Winter was off and the choice was Skyler for a boy?

How are you Arizonagirl?

MummysLittleSunbeams · 08/11/2010 09:14

Eeeeek you go girl!

lola0109 · 08/11/2010 09:19

Good luck arizona, sending you some positive vibes but i'm sure all will go well. I'm hoping that as i'm writing this things are in full swing or you're cuddling your lovely newborn. X x x

TerrysNo2 · 08/11/2010 09:27

Are you really calling your child Winter when you have another one called Autumn?!?

Please remember that whatever you decide you have a huge responsibility to your child to give them a name for them to live with, not just for you to enjoy.

I suppose they will always have a funny story to tell!

Good luck!

TerrysNo2 · 08/11/2010 09:30

Oh sorry - only read the first page! Good luck with everything!! Fingers crossed that your baby arrives safe and well and that the right name come to you! Grin

PS - I love Beau for the name, so simple but strong.

DanceInTheDark · 08/11/2010 10:35

oooh good luck :)

thumbwitch · 08/11/2010 11:16

hope it's happening for you arizona - and going well. Look forward to hearing how little Zephry Skyler/Sonnet is in a couple of days time. :)

thumbwitch · 08/11/2010 11:16

ThatllDoPig · 08/11/2010 16:43

Can't wait to hear the news.
