Do you ever recommend your own DCs names/s?

[NellyBluth]

Just curious. DD has a rare name, only about 10 girls with her name last year, though its not unusual. I quite often see threads where her name would fit the poster's style or criteria, but so far I haven't recommended it. Probably because I'm being a bit pfb about the name

Do you ever recommend your DCs names, especially if they are less common, or do you like to share?

Hell yeah, cos my kids have the best names ever (nah, just ordinary ones)

What is pfb?

Defend yes, recommend? No. I don't want swathes of them.

I have recommended DD1s name and middle name but only because it was relevant. It was also done so amongst other like-names. I don't blow the trumpet for no good reason!! (For the record, she is my pfb :) )

I have defended DD2s middle name from very ignorant comments. It was difficult to remain objective, but I think I did it well.

Exactly, nagoo! Isn't that awful?!

Mamma, that must have been difficult to restrain yourself. I know if any of DD's names were criticised I'd be fuming.

Yes. It's Sam so it's never going to be rare. :)

I never had because it never seems to fit the bill of what the poster is after. Next time someone comes looking for an unusual-ish biblical name beginning with a J though, I'll be there :o

Yes, i'd love to think a little one was running around with a cool name because of my suggestion

Yes I have with ds name a few times and dd2's name (Conrad and Eloisa) where I have felt it fitted Not often I do with dd1 and dd2's name as both do show up here regularish (Phoebe and Aoife)
