hana when I walk into Borders something takes over me, I cannot understand it - its like a trance

I think its because I used to go all the time when I lived in Glasgow and we have only recently got one up here - no wonder dh just sighs when I say am off to Borders just for a wee wander

dizzy - you think thats bad I looked at EVERY name for girl (and boy) babies registered in Scotland last year (it's in a lovely Excel spreadsheet too will find the link later).

I am so sad I know that DD2 was one of 9 Talia's registered in Scotland in 2006 BUT she is a January baby so everyone else copied ME!

DD3's name is decided but doesn't stop me looking.

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 12:09

oh lord, there are people with spreadsheets?!?!?

I wish I was closer to give you a shot of this clarins stuff, am back on it again this morning

sk - what was elliot's middle name going to be if you'd had a ds? It seems that I am having a ds, but at the moment elliot is being relegated to middle name as can't find a combination as good as Dominic Elliot.

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 13:58

can'tsleep I wuold appear to have a few books on the very subject of names if you want me to have a look

sweetkitty · 30/05/2008 14:03

CSWS - congrats on having a boy, our Elliot would have been Elliot David (family name) Dominic Elliot is nice although I like Elliot Dominic better but thats just me

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/05/2008 14:06

If it would entertain you dizzy! I asked sk because we were both planning elliots in 2006, but then both had girls.
The sort of names we like are Dominic, Lawrence, Toby, Hugo, Barnaby, Julian, but none of them sound quite right with Elliot first and our single syllable surname. The best combination seems to be Elliot James, but James is a bit too dull when there are so many other names that I like.

hunkermunker · 30/05/2008 14:07

CSWS...ahem...

dizzydixies · 30/05/2008 14:07

I LOVE hugo but dh won't let me as there is a wee northern irish country and western singer that his dad tortured him with in the car for hours on end when he lived at home called Hugo Our Surname [boooooooooo]

sweetkitty · 30/05/2008 14:09

I'm getting another male cat and calling him Elliot!

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/05/2008 14:11

Was hoping you wouldn't see that hunker!

Do you really think ED runs as well as DE sk, or is it just because you prefer E?
I quite like the fact that his initials could be DES, so we could call him that for a nickname .

hunkermunker · 30/05/2008 14:13

I see everything, CSWS

sweetkitty · 30/05/2008 14:14

I think they both run pretty well but of course my preference is for Elliot, there were two Dominics on the 2006 thread too.

Out of interest why wasn't hunker to see it???
