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.)

Helenka - used to work with one and like the name as it's so unusual

Currently pregnant and considering Nell and Ettie. Also like daphne, Celeste and Margot but have used those names for my pet ducks.

What names are you considering CheerfulYank

Imogen, Eloise, Miranda, Lydia, Rowan, Clementine, Alexandra. (It's just as well I am not going to have a DD, as I'd never be able to decide!)

If it was someone else's, Alice. I love that name, but it's too close to my own.

If it was mine, Sylvia or Cordelia.

Right now our front runner is Margaret-called-Maggie, Binary. :)

Past favorites have been Sophie, Frances, and Annabel. None seem to be it though.

I loved Philippa/Pippa for years but now... :( Although I'm American,so it's a bit more removed.
