Noelle is pretty. Or Holly? Do you like Noel for a boy? Not Claus!

It's a shame you're not Spanish, or you could get away with Jesus.

Rudolph (I know, I know, but Rudy is kinda cute).

I adore the name Raphael, though it is, I guess a bit poncy.

Congratulations - what a wonderful Christmas present.
I love Holly for a December daughter and also Natasha.

MrsSpringsteen · 17/07/2009 18:10

I too have an LGI baby - my number 4 though and he is very precious

I have a valentine baby and i was sorely tempted...but resisted!

Hi Miracle - yes - started to get a few movements the last few weeks. Congratulations btw. Come and join us on the Dec 09 thread

Our DD was due christmas eve. We had chosen Robin for a boy, Robyn for a girl. She was late, and it didnt seem quite right for a January baby!

vixma · 17/07/2009 21:42

Holly

Balthazar
Gaspar
Melchior

Stella is beautiful and not too festively contrived.

BVoys a bit harder. I do like Joseph but sounds too Nativity Play for a Christmas baby. I suppose people would soon lose sight of that.

I think Stella and Joseph are beautiful

LynetteScavo · 17/07/2009 22:10

I'm not keen on Stella.....I prefer Natalia.

LynetteScavo · 17/07/2009 22:10

pointydog · 17/07/2009 22:12

pardon?
