I need a girl's name that doesn't seem too chalk-and-cheese with Nigel. Suggestons please.

Ha, Brenda was the mother of my uncle Nigel. You seem to be on the same wavelength as my family! Vivienne was another family member from that generation.

Ok. I shall be the first to say it.

Really? you have a son called Nigel?

I'm only checking because you (according to a brief glance at your other pots) have three DCs already. Why are you only concerned about the new baby matching Nigel? Surely Araminta and Mohammed must be considered as well as PFB Nigel?

I LIKE Nigel!

notanumber I didn't say Nigel was my DS. Nigel is the cuddly elephant belonging to DD. She also has a dolly which she's getting quite attached to, so we need to think of an appropriate name. Can't keep calling her "DD's Dolly". Would never do.

Nigel is named after Mr Pargeter, btw, but we do quite like it. DS2 has a favourite cuddly called Tarquin from which he is inseparable. I wasn't allowed to use that name on any of my children
