Hi all, although we are not yet expecting another baby, we (okay, I) like to have current favourites!

At the moment, number one names (which we both like) are:

Maeve

and

Sebastian

Would like some unusual ideas for middle names to go nicely with these names please... DS1's middle name is River, so something 'naturey' or 'film starry' would be good! Give it all you've got! :)

Thanks for your thoughts! I'm liking...

Sol
Lake (but too similar to River, as are all the other water ones, but quite like Coral/Coralie!)
Lief
Flint
Cinder (never heard it before but I quite like it!)
Quite like Blossom and Bluebell, but that might be the wine! :)
