Thames

I'd go for... Malin for a girl and Cromarty for a Boy

Ardnamurchan Malin means sly in French.

Ardnamurchan - boy or girl??

following the traditions of the Beckhams in naming their child after where it was conceived I'd have to go for Dogger

What the hell happened to Finisterre? That was always my favourite!

it's the bloomin' Spanish to blame! Firs they steal our fish, then they stole our forecast regions!!!

Think Ardnamurchan would be a boy. Utsire for a girl, but both would get fed up of misspelling and mispronunciation.

Royal Sovereign might tempt some.

After hearing Lisa Knapp's Shipping Song, I have been strangely drawn to the name Utsire.

But maybe just for the next cat.

Love this thread.

I'd have Finisterre for a boy, DP would have Trafalgar. I think for a girl I'd pick Lundy....

I love Crosby and Macrahanish for a boy too - I suspect they will not make our shortlist though.
