Yes. She was such a lovely, capable woman in that book. Made me love the name.

There's a family called the Novogratz's who have appeared in Living etc. a couple of times with 7 children with names I secretly like. They are:

Wolfgang, 12, twins Tallulah and Bellamy, 10, Breaker, 8, twins Five and Holleder, 4 and four-month-old Major

Girls:

Bay
Biba

Margot

Serge

Dashiel
Atticus
Otis

I love Cadence - don't know why I just think that the sound of the word is beautiful.

mmmmmmm I love this thread....

Maggie-May for a girl
Hunter for a boy

But DH has vetoed both for being too 'celebrity-esque' (sadly we are not celebrities)...

I love Opal for a girl, but DP has always said it is too old-ladyish. Also Eilidh, but as am living in SE england, either no-one would pronounce it correctly, or no-one would spell it correctly. Still in my top 5 if I ever have any more though . Boys, I love love love Ruaridh and Lachlan, but again with the pronunciation. Plus neither would go with the boys names that have already been used for DS1&2 and DS3(sb). But then Eilidh wouldn't go with DD's name. And what for middle names? have used family names/ friends names all with meaning for all the dc's. DD's middle name is the 'family' middle name, all the first-born daughters have it for err 6 generations, DS1's middle name is my Dad's name (he died when I was 10yo), and DS2's middle name is the name of my best male friend who died in a quad bike accident while I was pg with DS2. DS3's middle name was the family 'boys' middle name. I think tbh if I had any more, it'd be the middle name that'd really stump me!

DH and I both loved Tallulah, but wondered whether we should given Jessie Wallace...

Anyway, DS2 was a boy, so that was that one done and dusted.

i called my daughter my dream name. honey.

if i had another girl i would call her ofelia (pronounced in the spanish way like pans labaryinth).

this is in my dream where i am also standing in a fabulous kitchen introducing my children to a magazine editor who is running a piece on me.

Mmm some really beautiful names here.

I love:

Indigo
Orlando
Delphi
Mathy
Ambrose

am I right in thinking these would all result in a kicking?

Romily
Cecelia
Persephone
Artemis

think i swallowed a book of greek mythology in my youth?

Sorry can't help but laugh at jonboy, the others are lovely though Cluttergump

Twm - (Welsh for Tom) how cool to have a name with no vowels!

DD was very nearly Sapphire

Maia/Maya for a girl.
Fox for a boy or a girl. I think Fox is the coolest name on earth!
