The Name Elimination Game.

[SarahScot]

Does anyone else find naming their baby massively stressful rather than a fun experience?

DH and I have gone through the baby name book and written a long list of possibilities. Tried to include everything that seemed even remotely attractive to us.

So, here's the game - remove the name that you like the least and repost the list. WIll be interesting (to me at least!) what we're left with.

Marnie
Anya
Lily
Orla
Annie
Emma
Lola
Beth
Hazel
Holly

Have eliminated Orla - just not mad about it. Possibly because I'm Irish, and growing up, there were always about four Orlas/Orlaiths/Orlaighs in my class, so I now find it rather boring!
