Four weeks to go until baby number 5 is due to make an appearance.

Almost certainly settled on Magnus if it’s a boy.

For a girl, our current favourites are

Miriam
&
Sylvie

Which would you go for?

Sylvie

Miriam. I like Sylvia a lot bit Sylvie always seems a bit "trying to be French". Unless you are French of course, in which case ignore me Smile

FernBritanica · 18/01/2020 17:50

Feel free to ignore me anyway, obvs..

Sylvie

Sylvie.

But with a grown up, non cute middle name in case she hates it when she's older!

HelenaJustina · 18/01/2020 18:23

Miriam

@Coughy4u

I think you're thinking of Magners. Magnus is a perfectly serviceable name.

I love the name Magnus and have met a baby Magnus. It’s also the name or Miss Honeys dad in Matilda Wink

Sylvie

Sylvie - LOVE IT

Ploppymoodypants · 18/01/2020 18:39

Both really lovely names. I am edging towards Miriam as she is the lead character in one of my favourite books (A Thousand Splendid Suns), but I love both those names. Great choice either way

CandyApple1995 · 18/01/2020 18:44

Miriam!!! And magnus is a brilliant name too! Good luck x

17caterpillars1mouse · 18/01/2020 19:29

Love Magnus

I'd go with Sylvie. Miriam sounds such a serious name to me

LeekMunchingSheepShagger · 18/01/2020 19:30

I love Miriam!
