thankyouandgoodnight, what are you trying to go for?

i do agree with limiting choice a bit, but not if it is causing you this sort of nightmare, you must be drowning in names. and half the 'old english' ones mean stick, field or rock.

we went for must be english and not religious. ds is called after a bird.

I like Liberty but it sounds stupid with our surname.

Thanks so far everyone!
We are just having awful trouble finding a girls name that we can agree on and DH keeps going on about wanting a name that is also a familiar word, so I thought that I would put it to you all without any restrictions to see what came up.

I am getting horribly stressed about the whole thing

Fishie - are you able to disclose your DS's name or list a few, one of which is his to give me an idea of bird names??

Now, I do quite like Eden and Trinity, although I don't like 'Trinny' at all.
