well the baby was the wrong flavour for Jasper/Kaspar so these are what we're down to, any preferences or prejudices Grin on these?

I'd go for Cornish Karenza Grin

I like Kerenza best also Kezia
Astride is OK but prefer Kerenza

Kerenza. Astrid has way too many potential horrible nicknames.

Kerenza - love it.

Astrid - too astringent.

Agree precisely with wet August.

Love both names they were both on my list but vetoed by DH. I will continue to push for Kerensa though in future pregnancies.

So I say Kerensa

We've plumped for Kerenza - thanks ladies. Thegreylady - she is already Kezia for short - didn't take long!

Good choice! Smile

Good choice.
I know an Astrid and her name has always reminded me of aphids.

Astrid

Kerenza - I love Cornish names (DM is Cornish) although I'd probably spell it Kerensa as it feels a little softer.

Oh, just read thread and you have already chosen!
Good choice!

Kerenza is lovely, love traditional regional names. Good choice.

To the earlier poster "karenza" means love and "whilas" means to look for or search so "karenza whilas karenza" might mean Love seeks love?
