Hmmmmm

I take ages to names kids and always have shortlists of about 25 names, but

maybe

Gabriella / Ella
or
Sophia
or
Jessica

maybe.

But they were all shortlists with DD3 and didn't make it so I'd probably start again with brand new never thought of names and chose from there.

My name is Frances, I'd like to thank you for putting me on your list of faves! For the record: I did not like my name as a little child because of it being unusual but the older I got the prouder I got! I love my name now.
I made sure my daughter got an ostentatious name to be teased about too: Philomena Grace

We were going to call this one Olivia but it turns out he's a boy. If we can't agree on any boy's names then he'll just have to be Olivia

Kate, it was my girls name for ds2, and would still be the name I would chose 3 years later.
My girl's name for ds1 however didn't last 6mo after he was born.

I really like Yasmin and Carenza, this is cornish and means loving

clewes · 11/12/2008 18:26

Carenza is so pretty! Reminds me of my best friend Carezza.

We are thinking of Sidonie Isabella or Sophia Valentina

I love Esme but partner is not convinced!

TipsyFairydifferentID · 11/12/2008 18:29

Allegra, Sylvia or Jocelyn

wotuhohohoinat · 11/12/2008 18:43

Sylvia and Florence are my top two girls' names at the mo. DS would have been a Sylvia if he was a girl.
