[nomorebooze]

hi guys! REALLY STRUGGLING WITH NAMES!!!!!!!
i like these 2 what do you think? also any ideas for middle names surname BROWN. thanks in advance, XX

hi guys, thanks for all your replys, i still like the names but am now more drawn to isacc or megan!! am i being blonde, eva brown?????????? xx
i have also a friend who has just had a girl on friday the 13th! and called her evie. so feel its out the question, as she may feel im copying her.

Megan is a lovely name for a girl.

EB was Hitler's girlfriend....probably strikes a stronger chord in germany than the UK.

lol, whoops did not know that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not recommended. still giggling away! x

yeap still like maisie! but also been told this is mega popular too. i picked all the names i like before realising how popular they all are. bummer!!!!!!!!! xx

not sure if i mentioned on this thread maisie was a name on my first list???

thats the problem with loads of names you link them to a person either you dont like! or you know of for some other bizarre reason, but its enough to put you off. x

Wasn't she Hitler's girlfriend??!

I like your second choices. Evie and Alfie are done to death. Maisie or Isaac much better. What about Mabel? That's cute and no quite so err, common...

You pg, secondcoming????

Much prefer Megan and Jacob.

Evie and Alfie are SO popular that I think they will date and could easily become the Sharon and Darren of this generation.

But you know what I mean

Aww congrats, lovely news! I didn't hear because I was all the way oop north in Oldham hospital as DS2 has bronchiolitis and were got transferred there. Are you on fb? Friend req me

They sound childish, which will be fine for a while, but I can't picture them on a grown-up.

I really don't like using ie abbreviations as proper on the birth certificate names. There are so many Alfie, Evie, Freddie and Millies around that it probably will sound normal by the time they're grown-up but it just makes me think why not call them Alfred, Eve, Frederick and Emily and let them decide if and how they want to shorten it?

Isaac and Jacob are lovely though

How do you delete messages?

On reflection I want to get rid of my post above?

I was just going to comment on your post Grumpy with a .............
I do however agree with every word you said .

Grumpy - You need to report yourself!

OP - There are so many Alfies and Evies around here, you could be forgiven for thinking the names were compulsory. I think that as you have a not-rare surname, it might be better to avoid the Top 20 first names. (And I agree with those who've said that if you're stuck on Alfie and Evie you should give the child a 'proper' name (Alfred, Evangeline or whatever) and keep Alfie or Evie as a nickname).

I love retro names like Mabel.

these a my DC's names so I love them obviously!

and I'm not insulted by anyones's posts either each to their own I say

Yeah but are you called Gemma and is your mum called Sandra? thats what I want to know

nope, and I'm not lower middle class either whatever the fuck that has to do with anything.

hi guys! some quite strong opinions on herenames are very personal, however i have changed my list, due to a friend calling her daughter evie last week etc. however i do feel some comments are quite insulting, not to me cos easy going and thankfull for true feelings and opinions, however im still taken aback about how insulting some peoples posts are!!!!!! on a lighter note!
thanks for all your thoughts we have know decided on

megan - girl
isaac / jacob - boy
