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.)

edith. had that name earmarked since i read children of the new forest when i was about 12!

Xanthe is today's random choice.

More consistently Phoebe or Felicity.

Or maybe Petra or Philomena.

It would depend on circumstances.

Today's choice (tee hee can see this stretching far ahead) is Romy.

It took DH a lot longer than 7 s to argue me out of that, I love it, but it does not appear anywhere in DD's name.

Frances DH wouldn't hear of it when we had DD, he finally agreed for DC4 but we had DS3 and now DH has had the snip so I will never have a Frances

Phoebe or Penelope but not both as she wouldn't want to be known as pee pee.

MsAkimbo · 22/02/2013 14:18

This happened to me. I named her Abigail Scarlett :) Coincidently, she is my baby!

But we had 4 runner ups-Clara, Imogen, Zoe and Lily.

ThePlEWhoLovedMe · 22/02/2013 19:12

Carla, Carrie, Carly, Sadie or Wren

If DS2 had been a girl he would have been called Lyra Dawn June, but he is a Dawson and there are definitely no more babies in my future!
