only1malteaser · 25/11/2008 17:03

Pg with ds3 so on here looking for inspiration! Ds1 (3) is set on Eisha or Imra or Nathan for a boy, so we probably won't get much choice in it. Really stumped where he got those names though!

only1malteaser · 25/11/2008 17:05

Didn't word that well, Eisha and Imra are his girls names

Bathsheba · 25/11/2008 19:25

Jemima

kalo12 · 25/11/2008 19:32

i love veronika but my surname begins with D

belgo · 25/11/2008 19:35

Bathsheba that's a name I would have loved but dh hated it.

swottybetty · 25/11/2008 19:37

Esme
Freya
Dorothy (Dot!)
Patience
Elizabeth (Betty)

Am 14wks, DH has ruled out the first two, and the next twodont work with our surname ... so a boy or Betty it is! Surprised how popular Esme is,
