Bridget, shortened to Bridie, is my current fave. DH doesn't like though.

Anna

golly in comparison to all these names we are very boring.

But it would be Charlotte Grace

dizzydixies · 26/11/2008 11:33

oh no powerofgreyskull Charlotte is lovely too

I loved Grace but as DD1 was >10lbs and DD2 >11lbs there was no way either of them were going to be a 'Grace'

Lizzylou · 26/11/2008 11:35

Thea or Annabel(le)

saythatagain · 26/11/2008 13:21

dsrplus8 · 26/11/2008 19:35

my daughters are called alannah , rhiannon, kira and kirsten. my neices are called mhari,(said vari),elish ceraphine and grace.

carrieon · 26/11/2008 19:50

Emma, coz then our initials would be B,C,D,E, F,G.
B is our surname, C and D are me and dh, dd is G and ds is F. Then we realised the alphabet thing so have to go for E next. Then A. Then we'll stop.
