I wish I could make him like Linnet 😔

I personally admittedly really like Marina.

Marina Plum? Marina Constance, Marina Juniper, Marina Victoria, Marina Felicity, Marina Fenella, Marina Hero, Marina Ismene... It's just a really pretty name imo :)

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 21:16

Yep - DP's ideal name would be Constance Jane I think!

Constance Jane is beautiful, so I'm with your DP on that.

I also really love Evangeline Jane.

Juniper Jane is cute and quirky. She'd end up being called Ginny at school though but I wouldn't mind that.

Jane.

Bloody hell. Is this the most you've got going on in your life? Why resort to Mumsnet to help you choose the name your daughter will be given? Pick it yourself!

Jane is a great name. It's used so much as a middle name that people think of it that way, overlooking what a nice first name it is. I think it's great, by far the best on both your lists.

longtermsinglemummy · 10/05/2017 22:13

CoralieConfused Unfortunately your post appears within the current updates. I think 'weirdo' is a little harsh...?!

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 22:15

I really think not

OP posts:
longtermsinglemummy · 10/05/2017 22:15

CoralieConfused I'm still staggered why you ask the opinion of people you've never met. Just make your own mind up? This is the name your child will gave for the rest of its life...you pick it!!

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 22:15

Oh hush

OP posts:
longtermsinglemummy · 10/05/2017 22:17

CoralieConfused You really think not about what? Just accept it's your responsibility to name your child.

It's really useful for us with a "foreign background" that have no idea how certain names may be perceived in the UK...

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 22:19

Talking about names is fun Hmm I'm not going to name my child on the say so of Mumsnet, but there are lovely ideas here and I also find it amusing to hear DP's choices being discussed. I'm staggered by you waltzing onto the BABY NAME BOARD and coming out with 'Is this the most you've got going on in your life'. Hahaha!

OP posts:
longtermsinglemummy · 10/05/2017 22:19

I think you need to hush.

p.s. Juniper is a gin berry and Jane reminiscent of the 80's.

longtermsinglemummy · 10/05/2017 22:20

As I have previously mentioned, your post is on the 'Active' board. Perhaps you need to grow up and think of your own names.

CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 22:20

No one had already mentioned that 🙈

OP posts:
CoralieConfused · 10/05/2017 22:22

Do we need disclaimers at the beginning of these threads now? "I hereby accept that it's my responsibility to name my child". Grin Mumsnet, I love thee

Maybe because I couldn't be arsed to read through the copious messages about what you should call your baby, and your passive aggressive messages to people who contradicted you Smile

Jane reminiscent of the 80's.

The biting critique is too much Sad

You must be trolling. You are on the baby name board! Grin

longtermsinglemummy · 10/05/2017 22:25

CricketRuntandRashers I totally get that. But the OP has been confrontational from the start and clearly not needing advice from a foreign language perspective.
