So far the names i like are

Arianne
&
Camille

But not in love with any of them or any name for that matter i think this little one will go down as baby no name.

Any suggestions?

and at your three names comment - ahem

EllieG · 03/01/2009 22:11

OOOOOPPPS sorry but you must agree Molly Bella Eloise doesn't go it was more the names themselves rather than the 3ness of them [Ellie digs herself in a little hole and stays there]

scorpio1 · 03/01/2009 22:12

lol at you ellie i still love you

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:12

EllieG my DD1 has 3 names! Grace Elisabeth Peggy! I slipped Peggy in at the Registry Office, it was my Nan's name, I loved her very much and felt it should be in there. DH just laughed when I told him. DD loves it! She thinks it is hilarious.

bilblio - come on, spill, which one is your name?

EllieG · 03/01/2009 22:13

Thank you [Ellie climbs out of hole, still slightly shamefaced]

EllieG · 03/01/2009 22:15

Oh bugger am going back in my hole before the whole of MN is along to tell me their kids have 3 names

It was the type of names, honest. The 3 I liked did not seem to go. Not having 3. In fact, i am going to go and add an extra name to her right now, so loving am I of the 3 name thing.

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:20

LOL Elllie! Fortunately I kept the 3 names solely for DD1. DD2 only has 2 and DD3 will be lucky if we decide on 1!

dizzydixies · 03/01/2009 22:21

all of mine have 3 names each

biblio you have to tell us now!

pgwithnumber3 I thought you were all settled on Camille nn Mimi - whats happened?

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:23

dizzy - you have too many names in that head of yours! I always await your replies on the name threads, especially the girl ones!

Nope, gone off Camille now! Amelie goes better with Grace and Maya. Grace, Maya and Amelie sound really nice together whereas Grace, Maya and Camille doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well! Amelie can be Mimi as well though if I want a shortening.

bilblio · 03/01/2009 22:24

pgwithnumber3 - I'm a Celeste. I love my name and I've only ever met one other.
I've had so many people over the years comment on how much they love my name that I've always thought there would be a load of little Celeste's by now belonging to people I vaguely know, but it hasn't seemed to happen... yet.

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:25

Celeste again is a name I love. I love French names. Watch it become popular. You will be cursing!

dizzydixies · 03/01/2009 22:25

Amelie is lovely too - we couldn't have it as DD1 goes to school with one and they're very close so we felt we couldn't use it iyswim

Celeste is SUCH a pretty name, was right up there in the final cut for DD3 but was pipped to post (only just) by Cordelia

loobylu3 · 03/01/2009 22:27

Really like Celeste and also Celestine- still on my shortlist!
French names are so pretty aren't they!

Fimbo · 03/01/2009 22:27

I know a 5yr old Celeste nn Lesty

Livvy
Libby
Susannah

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:28

I so wish I had an exotic name. Although mine launched a thousand ships. Beat that!

scorpio1 · 03/01/2009 22:29

Mine's just a normal name too. Dizzy knows.

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:32

I am sure my life would be far more glamorous with a name like Celeste or Cordelia!

dizzydixies · 03/01/2009 22:35

pgwithnumber3 you should be grateful its not double barrelled and makes you sound like you're from the deep south surnamed Walton like mine

scorpio you have a lovely name to match your sexy washing maching

bilblio · 03/01/2009 22:37

Fimbo, my name only ever used to be shortened by my family who called me Este, or Esty, or the little children who can never say Celeste always called me Lest.
Then I moved to a place near Liverpool and everyone who knows me from there calls me Cel. Before I moved my mates told me it would happen... I refused to believe it.

scorpio1 · 03/01/2009 22:38

Dizzy it is soooooo sexy

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:38

Bilblio, I am from Liverpool, can you give me a clue as to where you live now?

bilblio · 03/01/2009 22:52

pgwithnumber3 - I live just east of Manchester now, but I used to live north of Liverpool in Ormy.

I wish my life was glamorous too.

pgwithnumber3 · 03/01/2009 22:54

I was born/brought up in the place beginning with Mag very near to you (well in Ormy that is!). Live in Southport now.

NotanOtter · 03/01/2009 22:56

having lived in liverpool for 8 years (ds1 born there`) i am with you girls

my name has been mentioned a couple of times on here...

bilblio · 03/01/2009 23:00

Ahh Southport, I spent many drunken nights there. I was at uni in Ormy, then didn't leave for several years.
Mag... I've only been to once, when I spent a night making candyfloss at a local bonfire night.

I lovingly refer to Southport as the place where old people go to die, and students go to drink and fight.
