this is getting ridilious now, ffs, have just been in borders and bought 2 baby names books

thank goodness I have 8 more shifts at work so I'll have time to work read them

sorry sweetie, was distracted by naked man on tv

you have as much right to beat me round the head with new books as they do - if not more now

my friend got a really good book of baby names. will try to find it hang on

to beat me with or to look up names

I've now got 3

cant be arsed actually. wil lask her though. it highlighted all dd's names

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

am sure dh is going round them with my photo now!

I miss working in libraries

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.

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

here you go

scottish names

oh lordy, I can see am going to get sod all done today!!

I just had to have a little look again too dizzy

pmsl you're worse than me!

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.

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

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

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.

CSWS...ahem...

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]

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

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 .

I see everything, CSWS

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???
