my BIL has a niece called Emerald. not entirely sure myself, but she seems to live with it OK

Solace I think is a very depressing name. But then I think Hope is a terrible name too - like everything is bad and all you have left is hope. Solace sounds like what you give someone when they have suffered a loss, to me.

Ariel! Think mermaid not tv or washing powder.

I like Flora too - I thought of it for a millisecond when pg and then remembered the margarine too.

Fleur would work though.

oooh I quite like Ariel!

Thyme and Flora have been poo pooed by DH
Autumn was a contender but I think I may have gone off that.
We have a Willow (love love love) and although I do like Meadow, it sounds too similar, so I think that's out.

so thankyouandgoodnight - what is your DH's shortlist? Like Trinity btw - will prob be shortened to trinny though.

Thankyouandgoodnight · 22/05/2008 19:53

DH likes Luna, Ember and Coral....

I think he's aware that he needs to help come up with more names!!!

Trinity - chavvy

What's your absolute favourite right now - if you HAD to choose right now what would it be if it was just up to you?
