We are ttc no5 and have had 2 miscarriages this year, so last night we discussed names to keep our spirits up (as you do Grin )

This is our current girls list, with 2 real front runners

Augusta
Gwendolen / Gwendolyn
Mary
Jean
Beryl
Angela
Eileen

The two top contenders are Augusta and Gwendolen, then probably Eileen, Mary, Angela, Jean and Beryl. We love them all Grin.

Dc's names are Iris, Eli, Pearl adn Amos, so want something unusual to go with them (don't even get started on boys names!)

Thanks

Shopping - I really like Marjorie, but dh is having none of it! Audrey is nice, but I see it taking off in a big way, like Constance, but not Connie. Joan is too close to dh's name (which is a shame as i love it!)
Thanks!

Mary.

I dislike the rest.

You can't be serious about Beryl?!!!

I knew a little girl years ago called Wendy - must've been about 7 at the time. It was really cute.

Like diddl says, why not go for that if you like it?

Of your list I like Mary best.

I guess Jean by default, really. Not crazy about any of them, TBH.

I like Gwendolen. One of my guilty pleasures is Guinevere but it's a lot to carry off.

Wendy is quite sweet actually.

Iris, Pearl and Wendy. I like that!

cazzybabs · 25/11/2010 20:02

I like Mary and Eileen

Gwendolyn favourite from your list
How about Audrey? My personal favourite, and the one name which makes me want another baby...nearly

Hmm... what about Margot?

Or is there a 'Margaret' connection with Pearl - something's ringing a bell...
