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.)

Astrid. No, Sarah. No, Amber. You may need to reduce the time limit Grin Astrid was my first thought though.

Oooh, these are good!

I'm having DD in May and we have a name in mind, but I don't know if I LOVE it or if it's just the best I can come up with iyswim. So I thought I'd ask what people's first reactions to "name a girl" are. Keep 'em coming! :)

Susannah, at the moment. Which wasn't on the list at all when I was expecting DD less than a year ago, so we'll see if it's in the running if and when DC2 happens...

Harper. DP wouldn't allow it though. In fact, he wouldn't allow it before the Beckham's used it and definitely wouldn't allow it afterwards.

So we'd go with Seren, which I seriously love Smile

No-one ever going to do that to me again, but my girls were Katherine and Rachel within seconds.

I also love Charis, Hope, Louise/a and Elaine.

Is it for me? If so, Mara. Or Caitlin.

If not, Katya, which I love but doesn't go with my surname.
