We're still seeking inspiration. Can you give me your absolute favourite girls name - just one - never min whether it goes with siblings or surname or is too posh or dh doesn't like it. I'd just love to know everyone's favourite. Maybe we'll be inspired.

Rosalind nn Rosa, Rosie, Roz, Lindy. Good for a Rock star or barrister. No overly used , Classic , timeless what's there not to like.

^^dh wouldn't let me have either of these. My girls have lovely names, but they are compromise names for both of us.

Vagaceratops · 19/09/2012 19:47

Anna - simple and pretty.

WillSingForCake · 19/09/2012 19:51

Alexandra. I wanted to call DD it, but DH kept saying 'Alexandra Meerkat?' in a Russian accent like off those bloody adverts, and it was never the same after that.
