OK, Now we're sure we're having a girl, we have two names:

  1. Millie
* Emily * Millicent
  1. Martha

It's just for fun, really, because we won't decide until she's born, but which one would you go for? (or suggest another!!!!)

Middle names:
Grace / Kate / Alice (only one, obviously!)

Thanks, HM

Emily Kate is my vote.

Millie/Martha/Emily all really popular now (well they are round here ) so I'd go for Millicent Grace/Kate

Millicent! Its a wonderful name, there should be more Millicents!
Somewhere the dark hell of my memory has just dredged up:

The bottle of perfume that Willy sent,
Was Highly Displeasing to Millicent,
Her thanks were so cold,
They quarrelled Im told,
Through that silly scent Willy sent Millicent

I am however unclear what this adds to the argument

my lovely lovely SIL (well one of them - I have 3 thanks to DH and they're all lovely - but she's particularly lovely) is a Millicent - so I'm probably biased with my liking of it.

Millicent is really nice
As is Kate
I like Jane, Eliza and Verity

Um, well I obviously love the name Martha. Is was reading this and thinking, OI Custardo, . However I do see what she means. It's not a girly name so if my dd ends up ugly (which I doubt as she is the image of her mother ), it would emphasise her biffer-ness! I think it is also to do with timing. If I had been named Martha I would probably have been ribbed, likewise if I had been called Daisy. But now a child is more likely to be teased if they called Linda or similar. There have been loads of threads about the idea recently.

Marthasmama...lol ..when i was pg with ds(11) i liked the name Grace then someone said 'but what if she isn't 'graceful'? and then someone else said it just reminds me of 'disgrace'

blardy bitches

When i got pg again i made sure i didn't ask peoples opinion on Martha...if she was a girl then that was to be her name.

my bf dd (6) is called emily - but we all call her milly
