I am writing my Christmas cards and have totally forgotten my next door neighbour’s baby’s name. It is a bit like Briony or Rowan, but definitely neither of those. I’ll remember it as soon as I hear it.

Have looked through the top 100 girls names with no luck. And have written “Dear Neighbour, Neighbour’s husband name, and…” so can’t even style it out and leave it off the card Grin

Suggest me some names, MN!

are you sure it's not baby boy? Brennan?

I would swallow my pride and just asked them "Hey dear, I'm sorry for asking, how is your daughter, blabla" If this doesn't work, just ask for a name.

She’s definitely a girl! I don’t think it starts with a B, but it is that sort of name IYSWIM.

Can you check her FB posts, maybe she's written about her baby on there?

"That sort of name"? What does that even mean?!

You don't need to include the baby's name on a Christmas card; I certainly wouldn't, and wouldn't be offended if someone didn't. In fact, when anyone does, I find it a bit weird.

This would work if you don't want to ask or can't find out. I remember my parents used to get cards like that all the time so you won't be the only one.
