I love both middle names but not the first names. But ignore me!

IheartEASTEREGGS · 09/04/2009 20:48

I like Cormac but do you remember on "Glenroe" there was a little boy called Cormac but everyone called him "Cormie"?
I love Gabriel(thinking of Byrne!).
I think the accent on Chloe is a bit much (sorry)

RenderMeSpeechless · 09/04/2009 21:02

Ha! I think about Gabriel Byrne a lot too

I could live with "Cormie"

Nice, I especially like Isabeau; very pretty.

they'll be spelling them forever more

MrsSchadenfreude · 10/04/2009 00:33

Isabeau? But "beau" is the masculine, "belle" the feminine, so looks really odd to me.

RenderMeSpeechless · 10/04/2009 00:46

MrsSchadenfreude

You are right, but it is a valid girl's name - Queen Isabeau of Bavaria to name just one (of 5 lol)

i do not like cormac at all - sorry. Chloe is very popular around here [SE] and for that reason i do not like it...but it must be a lovely feeling to have settled on names you like....may i reach there soon ha x

ItsMargotBeaurEGGarde · 10/04/2009 16:38

i like Cormac. Good strong unusual name.

Chloe is a little datedsounded already to me. It peaked massively a few years ago. Not mad about Isabeau. Beau is masculine, I can't get over that.

diedandgonetodevon · 10/04/2009 16:40

I like them both [big thumbs up smiley]

Most Chloe's here are about 9/10 along with the Charlottes, I still like it though and most importantly you do so that's that.

ItsMargotBeaurEGGarde · 10/04/2009 21:35

Maybe it doesn't matter. A ten yr old Chloe would no doubt be Chloe B or Chloe J. But a Chloe born in 2009, would be more likely to be the only one in her class. Just to say something positive about it.

I quite like Clodagh and Clio.

RachieB · 10/04/2009 23:42

Chloe is ok ... prefer Cleo though

dont like boys choice sorry
