Dh is quite adamant he isn't Greek (iykwim), so I always end up not quite knowing what to say! Just saying Cypriot doesn't always work. Xavier and Eliana are nice btw, my niece is called Liana

So you see what I mean Serenity... Dave/John/Bob Petrasidis just wouldnt work! But Xavier & Eliana do!!

Oh, yes definitely. DS's names are anglicised versions of Greek names (although I think now, we should have stuck with the original of DS2s) There are loads of names I like more, but it has to work as a whole name, not just 'a name' I happened to like, if that makes any sense.

There are a few names put down on MN where I think, well hang on, I know non-chavvy (I hate that word) people who used that name because it's a traditional family one. Shakira's one I've picked up on, that gets lumped together with Britney/Chardonney etc. I suppose any name you're not used seems a bit weird to start with

not used to, sorry.

I agree about the spelling on names. Know someone who has spelled jacob jaykeb and he is very odd! They might as well say 'i want some attention please'.

Still like cooper and Olivia. Also like regan, amber, paige and georgia. Like Bella too but have 2 sisters named belinda and they like to call themselves belle.

boys ones are logan blake and connor, but cant name connor cause sister in laws partners son is named that.

Lola and Matthew for me. Always loved the name Lola, and not just because of Charlie and Lola which I expect may make the name more common-place. Do you think it would be strange to call your son the same as your brother?

My cat is called Lola

WantAbabyNOW - you have two sisters called Belinda - doesn't that get a bit confusing?

I chose Caitlin (dd1's name, though I could equally have chosen dd2's name), and Finnian (I would have loved to have called ds Finnian but dh is not that keen).

Finnian definitely wouldn't pass the bacon aisle test!

Sue..

Well i have a sister belinda and dh has a belinda also.. we refer to them as the good belinda and the bad one and depending on what they have been up to we know which one we are referring to!

I suggest no one name their dd belinda... they tend to have some major issues!
We also live in a block of villas and dh sisters live about twenty paces in the same block!

We all have the same surname obviously.. so that is confusing too!

I suppose that makes more sense than your parents calling both your sisters belinda!

lol... only have one sister on my side... thank god! Love her but She is a handful. Still trying to forgive her for ruining our wedding..DH has banned her from the house!
