AllieW · 16/12/2010 16:57

Just planning ahead, lol!

Lora69 · 16/12/2010 16:58

Oh yeah, and just ignore all the rude comments you get when you dare to consider names when you are not pregnant yet- there are some really snide, bitchy women on here! I will be able to reply properly when I get home :) x

suwoo · 16/12/2010 16:59

Is that to me Lora69?

suwoo · 16/12/2010 17:12

It looks like your friend the OP, took my comment in the manner in which it was intended indicated by the lol at the end of her post.

Lora69 · 16/12/2010 17:23

Maybe I didn't see that as I was writing back on my phone? Anyway, whatever I was going to apologise as I see you are a down to earth girl from Manchester and not a Boden wearing Southerner. From experience these ladies are very scornful and almost smug towards childless women. I find that disgusting and I do apologise that I thought you may be one! See- the internet is a dangerous thing. Intentions are lost with no tone of voice and facial expressions!! Ok, back to gym :)

suwoo · 16/12/2010 17:28

Maybe I do wear Boden Wink.

Lora69 · 16/12/2010 17:30

LOL! I don't mind, you are from a place I love so you are excused! Moved from Manc down south few months ago, and I have found the women to really be something else!! :( Told dp that we are moving north again before we ttc! ;)

takethatlady · 16/12/2010 17:32

Hypothetical DSes perfectly well allowed in my book! Have had a few myself Wink

Love 8, like 13, don't like 15, like 17-20 and very much like Owen (can't pick it myself because I am too in love with Mark Owen and all our friends know and would think I had named my son after him ...), like 27 too.

Think I've gone for the more conservative names on your list. Don't know why ... think I'm in a safe mood at the moment which is most unlike me!

But a great (if lengthy) list!

takethatlady · 16/12/2010 17:33

PS - friendly southerner here Wink

Lora69 · 16/12/2010 17:40

Lol!.Fantasising about my future children is my favourite past time! :)

Lora69 · 16/12/2010 17:44

Oh god, that sounded so wrong!!! My sil is thinkibg about George or Sam but I'm rooting for george!!!

Lora, maybe your attitude has something to do with the reception you've had down south?

have lived in the south-east my whole life and I happen to be very lovely.

as is IMAF
