And said, "you have seven seconds to name this child," what would your off-the-top-of-my-head response be? (Besides, obviously, wondering who this loon passing a baby around is.)

Jemima, so wished I had used it with one of the Dd's.

Matilda was the first name that popped into my head. Not sure why!
Tilly I love.
Rowan was what my boys would have been if they were girls.

If real-life scenario i.e. having baby with DH...Megan (DS3 would have been Megan)

If asked my own top favourite-and-slightly-way-out name...Clover (love love love it, DH said no way we're having a baby not a cow Hmm)

Clover is now earmarked for a future guinea pig Grin

Beatrice. Because that was my daughter's name, and she's always my first thought. Smile

Oooh, so I don't have to take DH's opinion into account and I get to name all on my own?

Hermione, Esther or Margaret.

That's her full name. Almost worth having another baby girl to use that one...
