Hi all - driving myself and DH crazy. We've exhausted our baby names list and cannot find a girl's name we like.

The problem is our surname - most people seem to think of it as the royal surname... so without saying it, I think you can probs guess what I mean. Get asked if people should curtsy when they meet us which is SO FUNNY.

Which means every name I have liked, everyone has said is too pretentious. I like traditional, strong names though love Ivy and Madeleine but apparently, these are not nice.

Everyone's driving me crazy and whilst I know I can't let other people decide for me, I don't want people to hear DD's name and think we're pretentious twats.

Though am close to fucking everyone off and calling DD Elizabeth Mary Anne Blah Blah Every Royal Name You've Ever Heard Of, just because I'm sick of it ha!

Heeeelp!
