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

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have just brought our gorgeous little boy home from hospital after a natural birth following 3 caesereans. Sore but we are both alive and well and I am in HEAVEN.

Skyler Beau Alexander Grin Grin was born at 4.40 this morning after a five hour labour and weighed 8.5 pounds. He is gorgeous and I can't stop crying.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR BEING SO LOVELY TO ME!!!!!!!!! Will post again tomorrow - haven't slept since Sat night.
