Auden is a trifle odd - esp as he's a well known gay author - but maybe that's why the name appeals

thanks for your ideas-- I appreciate it. And for those of you who seem annoyed that I asked, isn't that what the board is for?

Any that you like then, theory?

Seriously?

PuppyMonkey · 23/05/2008 13:14

Wotcha going for?

I posted a serious one, Madeleine btw...

Mrsbadger, you don't need to shoot me down in flames for suggesting Harriet

I thought it wasn't overly girly (especially if she ends up being a tomboy and getting Harry as a nickname) and not so common nowadays

surely it's for the op to comment whether or not it's to her taste rather than you saying what a stupid suggestion it is

I was only trying to be helpful

Christ what is it with people getting het up over names.

Its an open forum, surely she can ask ideas for names ffs.

Hi, I'm looking for a same type of name, but many of these names suggested are very girly and 'soft' or then way of the top like Byron or Duffy. I like Xanthe, Charis, Zola...

Enid · 23/05/2008 20:04

charis is a type of drug
