Love Blythe

lollipopmother · 18/05/2008 15:32

I think it is quite a harsh name, but then I like 'pretty' names for girls and strong names for boys so I suppose I am quite traditional and boring.

MargaretMountford · 18/05/2008 15:33

not harsh,it's lovely,like Blithe spirit

lollipopmother · 18/05/2008 15:39

Yeah. I just don't get it. Sorry.

Wezzle · 18/05/2008 15:44

I really like it but because I live fairly near the place
it would put me off using it

Journey · 18/05/2008 15:49

Thecheekofsome · 18/05/2008 15:52

I think it rhymes with knives without the s

Wezzle · 18/05/2008 15:52

No it doesn't

HonoriaGlossop · 18/05/2008 16:01

Lovely name

MargaretMountford · 18/05/2008 16:10

CarGirl · 18/05/2008 16:24

Wezzle · 18/05/2008 16:33
