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.

Layla
Esme
Ava
Edie
Marnie
Anya
Lily
Orla
Annie
Emma
Lola
Beth
Hazel
Holly
Callie
Carys
Camilla
Leia
Rosie
Maeve
Maggie
Sally
Phoebe
Sadie

OddBodd · 08/01/2011 23:59

I agree. I am tempted to namechange just to eliminate Emma!!!

DancingThroughLife · 09/01/2011 00:07

Don't do that! Emma's the only one left that I like! Grin

DancingThroughLife · 09/01/2011 00:08

But yes to changing Annie to Anna!

snice · 09/01/2011 00:09
