can I just ask does anyone like Cleo?

Ella, Lexie and Cleo - for some reason I keep coming back to it?

dh not too keen but I like it
he keeps going on about renault cars

can I use it as a nn for Clementine though?

oh ffs out of the girls list he likes

Celeste

and maybe Cordelia or Clementine

he says there was another one he liked but its not on that list and he can't remember it

AARRGGHHHHHHHH

celeste is nice or celestine. prefer Cassia though Cleo is lovely!

scorpio am just going to make up my own mind and save it till after the birth - he is 'suffering' from man flu and has been in bed all morning, got up, had lunch, did two things for me and now needs to go back to his bed

Poor man you remember to look after him properly now dizzy

from your list my favs are:
Cassia
Phoebe and
Caitlyn

Men!!

nn for Tabitha is Tabs. I should know .

From your list I like Cordelia, Phoebe, Georgina and Tabitha best, and Reuben for a boy.

I do like Cleo too.

Have we done Susannah??

I like Cleo, reminds me of a cat though.

yes VS but it was dropped as have close friend who is Susannah nn Susie

good taste VS pure class Susannah

i call our friend Tabitha - Tabba

Yes, Suzanna is the best name

meridith anyone?

If you spell it correctly (Meredith) then I love it.

[meep]

Have you come up with anything better than Dominic Elliot for me yet btw, with all these fancy names books that you now own?!

My fave is Zachary Elliot, but dh won't allow.

I was looking at biblical names earlier, and did suggest Ebeneezer, but it didn't go down too well .

Dh is just so hard to please!

Other contenders are Duncan Elliot and poss Dylan Elliot.

not Duncan please not Duncan

do you have a 'D' thing going on?

I love Dylan btw - I would use it for a girl though

is it absolutely decided that Elliot is to be middle name and not used as the first?

The D thing is just coincidence, but am liking that it gives me the extra nickname Des (surname begins with S)!

Elliot can be in first or second place, but must be there somewhere.

Duncs is nicer nn than Dom IMO, and the only one I've ever known is lovely. It also has that lovely uncommon feel that appeals.

tis our surname so am a bit bored with it - not meaning to offend it as a first name choice

what about

Darragh - irish lovely name pn Dara
Tadgh - also irish pn Tag
Donnell
Dougal
Dermott - knew one at uni and he was DREAMY!!

Elliot I think is a lovely name and cracking as a first choice

my friend's dh is a Dominic and he is a great bloke, if hyper

Ah, see your reason for not choosing Duncan!

Dh's 2 key criteria for name selection

• not foreign. No welsh, Scottish, Irish names allowed, which prob rules out your entire list!
• not a surname used as a first name.
