Why am I pregnant again ffs? Stupid Catholic upbringing. My body will an unsalvageable wreck and we will be living in penury for the next two decades.

Anyway. Need a girls name. I am utterly devoid of inspiration, being interested only in grab bags of Skips and having naps.

Already have an Agnes and an Enid. Surname Stephens.

Dislike: frilliness; 'ah' endings; 'classic' names.

Like: fabulous names. I was keen on Ramona the last go-round, but think I might have lost my love for it.

Any suggestions?

Just had a thought... How about Merle? I think it's French for blackbird. Have only ever heard of one Merle but I think it's lovely.

Also, Myrtle, Tilly, Cadence or Mabel.

I love Percy for a girl.

Right. Long list is:

Vera
Veronica
Valerie
Rita
Frances
Gloria
Bridget
Gretel
Helen

I think I'm liking Bridget and Vera the most atm.
