Help please I need some inspiration for girls' names. Her middle name will be Rosemary for my Gran and the first name can't end in an "e" sound due to our surname. Any ideas?

am still (hours later) totally perplexed by the idea of Mia meaning something rude in Spanish! Have asked DH (Spanish) and he says he's never heard of it meaning anything except "mine", you have to enlighten me, it's killing me!

Sorry Macaco for keeping you in suspense, it is the verb Mear so conjugated it would be spelt differently to Mia but it means to "urinate" on thanks for posting those names and that link to the top Spanish names, was interesting ... still at a loss thoug!

Mrs Mcjnr - you still have a while to choose!!

All the time I was pg it was going to be Ava for a girl then the day before I went into labour we changed our mind and wanted Molly

Bet you will change your mind at least 3 times!!
