not the last 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

piratecat · 26/02/2008 14:39

my freind's dd is called Rowan, it is unusual, and once attatched (iyswim)to a child I think its a great name.

I am not keen on the others you have in mind.

piratecat · 26/02/2008 14:40

What about Eliza

thats quite cool

seeker · 26/02/2008 14:41

Rowan is lovely. Elizabeth is lovely. Sidney and Brodie are boys. And Bethan only works if you're Welsh. Sorry - but you did ask!

(And I know that Sydney is a traditional girl's name and Brodie would do for either - but you don't want her to ave to spend the rest of her life saying "no, I'm a girl actually" You really don't.)

mummypud · 26/02/2008 14:41

happynappies · 26/02/2008 14:51

My dd is Elizabeth so I'm biased. It is a lovely name though. We had planned on 'Beth' but as soon as we met her 'Beth' didn't seem appropriate and she has been Elizabeth ever since. Good luck making your choice

piratecat · 26/02/2008 14:51

not keen on briony.

Elizabeth is ssssssssssssssooo dull imo.

iam not into stupid names, like ones yuo can never remember.

elizabeth is not dull

Twinkie1 · 26/02/2008 14:57

NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO please not Sidney - I always think it is chavvy and appalling!

I like Elizabeth shortened to Lizzie

Mind you I know a few people with old traditional names and to be honest I look at their parents and think - could you just not be bothered!

mummypud · 26/02/2008 14:57

ooh hatrick , i love Florence! i will suggest that one , im not hopefull though . we already have a dd called Phoebe by the way

OP posts:

mummypud · 26/02/2008 14:58
