Hi,

Although I am English, we don't live in the UK, so have no idea what names are popular right now. I have come up with a list and would really appreciate your thoughts.

Please feel free to be honest - I can take it!

Thanks,

Fulla x

Betty
Dakota
Dolly
Dulcie
Idalia
Isolde
Eden
Ella
Layla
Lola
Marnie
Poppy
Rosa
Valentina
Verity

SOBS respect!

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 12/10/2010 13:11

Rosa is the only one who is content. V different. Isolde is a close second.

Several of them are very happy at key points in their life. Achingly sad at others. Tis life, non?

Hullygully · 12/10/2010 13:21

But Rosa has secrets.

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 12/10/2010 13:33

Maybe your Rosa has secrets. My Rosa is pure.

Hullygully · 12/10/2010 13:40

That's what you think.

That's why they're secrets.

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 12/10/2010 14:23

Can you stop making up lies about my imaginary friends Hully. You're hurting their feelings.

Rosa is cross.

largeginandtonic · 12/10/2010 14:40

Too funny. You are wasteD here. Get off MN and WRITE THE FECKING BOOK.

Lovely names OP. I like Dulcie. Dd was very nearly Dulcie, i would have called her Dolly as a nn.

Isolde and Valentina are so beautiful.

Sure it is a girl then?

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 12/10/2010 14:44

I wasn't being funny. They're real in my head.

I am actually working on the book atm. Don't shout at me, I'll cry. I'm trying to describe a beach. With a pillbox on it. I'm v busy.

ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave · 12/10/2010 14:47

I'd say that Ella, Layla, Lola and Poppy were all pretty popular at the moment.

Dulcie is a dark horse as I've seen it cropping up on several lists on MN but not actually heard of a baby named that -- so it's very much a "now" sort of name without being particularly over-used.

Dakota seems very American.

I like Verity and Isolde. And I want to read SOBS's full baby name book.

largeginandtonic · 12/10/2010 14:50

Pillbox! To wee in or just look at this time?

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 12/10/2010 14:55

To look at and be transported back to that day when that thing happened.

Ooh I should write a baby name book.

I am still so happy that I weed in a pillbox.

FullaDoll · 12/10/2010 15:33

Ha, this is my new favourite site! SOBS... love it!

To the person who asked if we are certain we are having a girl, yes, we are doing gender selection. As much as I love having boys, I was lonely from living in an all-male household. So, in fact, as we are doing IVF, we may actually need two names. Although I hope not...

Rosa has never liked you. She didn't want hair that colour.

Kathleen123 · 12/10/2010 15:41

I like the following names, afraid I dont like the others.

Ella
Layla
Poppy
Rosa
Verity

ShirleyGarrote · 12/10/2010 15:44

SOBS

You are a genius.

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 12/10/2010 15:51

That's not Rosa Hully. It's a bloke in drag. I suggest you stop listening to him or he'll lead you up the garden path. And by lead I mean sully and by garden path I mean den of iniquity.

Shirley, your name is brilliant. Smile

Hullygully · 12/10/2010 16:04

Oh no! And we have shared such intimate moments too.

largeginandtonic · 12/10/2010 17:10

Your favourite site? We are the ONLY site.

Yes SOBS you should write a baby name book. After the other one i have been waiting years to read.

Oooh get you with your gender selection op. I have 5 boys and 2 girls. Although i will admit to being fairly stressed with all of them atm (a whole other thread) the boys are FAR easier than the girls.

Than again SOBS girl is pretty amazing. You never can tell...

ShowOfBloodyStumps · 12/10/2010 17:11

I don't like people calling me SOBS, it's horrid. Desist. Might change my name back.

You're going to be so disappointed ginny.

usualsuspect · 12/10/2010 17:15

The only one I like is Eden [common chav]

largeginandtonic · 12/10/2010 17:18

I am not. I will be thrilled.

Change your name then. Think of one for me too.

I think i am normally largeginandbloodytonic or summat.

LoveJules3 · 12/10/2010 17:23

My Dd2 is Eden, and as far from chavvy as she could be! She's also one of only 2 in her school, in a V. good area.

Depends where you live for that name i think!

I Love Dulcie though :o
