Veronica (it only has one r) was on our contenders list if this bump had been a girl, but it isn't.

My mum today suggested Graham (which can be spelt Graham or Graeme) for our ds. We laughed. It's already my brother's middle name .

LynetteScavo · 28/05/2008 19:07

I think Eric is already comming...and Frank.

I love the name Vanessa.

I think the uncoolist names you can think of belong to people 10 - 15 yrs older than you.

Linda
Deborah

Keith
Adrian

For me!

narkymum · 28/05/2008 19:09

I dislike everything mentioned. They are dated and will date again quickly!

My MIL reckons Doris, Shirley, Doreen and Sheila will come back around the time ds is choosing names for his own children - on the grounds that Ivy, Archie, Stanley and so on are currently hot.

DSD goes to school with a Linda and a Roger.

It's just not right.

georgiemama · 28/05/2008 20:23

When I was at primary school there were little four year olds called:

Maurice
Rory
Jamie
Andrew
Peter
Simon
Darren
Darryl
Christopher
Neil
Ian
Lee

and

Linda
Georgina
Debbie
Susan
Jane
Melissa
Gail
Alison
Gemma

With the exception of Georgina I find it impossible to imagine calling a baby any of those names.

What's wrong with George Henry by the way? Eh? (Need a fight emoticon)

dizzydixies · 28/05/2008 20:24

rory and jamie very popular north of the border with us
