eerrmmmmmmm, maybe a tad more than most

but in my defence Lockets, Sweetkitty and Scorpio are as bad

and we're all very polite and say things like 'not to my taste' rather than

dear god no its fecking awful what are you thinking you mad hormonal deranged pregnant woman

except in my case re Gregory and I have apologised for that

cece · 07/03/2009 23:05

Nice

I forgot

Sadie
Agnes
Renee

lockets kids have great names - steal one of those

cece · 07/03/2009 23:07

See girls names much easier and you are all very polite! Good suggestions too bu think we have enough girls names... It's boys names we are stuck with well we have one name so that will be OK as long as he looks like an Ed!

tis turning into the lockets/dizzy mutual appreciation thread

Cece - all of mine have 3 names too

cece · 07/03/2009 23:15

DD has two names but DS ended up with 3! Trouble is the whole thing never fits onto any forms we have to fill in..

cece mine aren't going to thank me for the mouthful we've given them either

I grew up hating my name so was determined to let them all have names that gave them choices

lockets - you can always add more by deed poll!!!

sweetkitty · 08/03/2009 04:46

I wish I had given my lot more names

DD1 and 2 have 2 and DD3 has 3

DP and I were arguing over lunch about DD4's name

nooka · 08/03/2009 05:11

I have three names and it is a nuisance when people insist that you can only have one initial on forms. What about Edwin if you want an Ed? I like Edmund too, we have all three (a Ned too) in the family.

seeker · 08/03/2009 05:51

Mine have 3 names, but only because there were ghastly family names that I wanted to use and I thought the best place for them was as a 3rd. It also means that ds's initials are PJG - which will be brilliant if he ever plays cricket for England!

cyteen · 08/03/2009 11:40

i love your girls' names cece, especially Verity and Sadie

DS has 3 names, although one of those is DP's surname.
