Please tell me what they are.

Have decided to start afresh.

DH is pretty easy so it's ultimately up to me.

Two syllable 'S' surname very similar to 'Simpson', in fact, I get called Simpson all the time! So if it goes with Simpson, it goes with ours.

TIA.

Fell in love with Romilly a few years ago (18 years to late to have called DD it.

And have a snneaking love of Eugenie (pronounces Ujanie)

Willow I like as well.

Cordelia, I go off and on, love Cordi as a NN.

Not sure about the flower names, although as a Cm , have looked after a Rose, Lily, Poppy and a Fleur, who were all lovely little girls.

Have also had a Ruby, Scarlett and Red (Red was a boy)

Do like Ava, Honor, and Matlda, but they are becoming quite popular.

am always striving for your approval shosh - you know that

MadBadandCoveredinTinsel · 05/01/2010 21:16

Dizzy and Harried - Yes, I know that in both King Lear and Brideshead, Cordelia is a good person. It is just that each is so put upon. But it is a beautiful name.

May Dizzy's Cordelia have a blessed and happy life.

lovely Dizzy

on hearing DD2's name for the first time my Mother said "WHERE on earth did you get that from, did you make it up?" "erm no we got it from the bible. MIL said "well as long as she is healthy" although she later said that she was unsure of it at first but now it suits her and she couldn't think of her as being anything else and it's very pretty.
