A very short shorlist...

[OrangeAnge]

I know that we will go with the names that WE like rather than general consenus but I thought I'd run our possible name choices past you all to see what comes up...

So, the surname is two-syllables beginning with T.

If it's a boy: Lewis or Rudy
If it's a girl: Alice or Florence

Let me know what you think!

Rudy is a great name.

Alice is pretty.

I like Florence, but it seems quite a 'fashion' name round these parts (London).

Reakly dislike Lewis, sorry. Louis (Loo-ee) nicer.

Rudy and Florence.

Thank you all for your opinions. They're very interesting (and encouraging!) but we are still no closer to making a decision! It seems mumsnet opinion is fairly equally spread.

Do people really wait and see whether the baby looks more like one name than the other? Don't all babies sort of look similar when they are born?!! (Excuse my ignorance on this!)

rudi and Alie

I like Florence and Lewis. Great names.

Not keen on Rudy and Alice is okay, but the name always makes me think of someone who is not quite all there, perhaps a bit slow. I know its just a stereotype, but the Alices on TV haven't always been that great - think Alice from the vicar of Dibley, and the one on casualty sometimes seems a bit odd. That's what comes to my mind when I think of the name!

Just to update you on this - and to proudly announce that we had a son! Born on Saturday and in the end went for Lewis!

Thanks for all your opinions - it did help me to take my mind off being overdue!

Congratulations

Alice is beautiful!....Florence ok....bit a bit 'flowery'...a bit like Daisy, Poppy, etcetc.....Rusy great too!
