Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hmmmm, something has gone wrong here. 3 girls names have been replaced by Dylan 0, 1, 2.
Esme, Esmee and Zetta should be there.

Dylan or Cerys

SoupDragon · 11/04/2010 17:29

Not Otto, Ada, Detta or Zetta.

Goingspare · 11/04/2010 17:34

Huw, Cerys. Are you Welsh by any chance?

mathanxiety · 11/04/2010 20:24

Huw, Otto, Reuben and Rhys for the boys.

Cerys, Ada or Zetta (prefer Zita though) for girls.

janeite · 11/04/2010 20:27

Dylan for a boy and Esme for a girl are my faves from your list. Don't like Zetta, Detta, Evan or Otto.

I like Evan, Reuben and Cerys. Have you considered Carys?

desertbee · 26/04/2010 06:46

He he... yes, I'm Welsh by birth (parents and location).
Seems like the ()etta names are not too popular at all!
Thanks a lot for replying everyone x

Ooooh fellow Welshie here! Have you got the Welsh baby names book?

Dylan- Like it, but only when pronounced in the Welsh way (Dullan)
Evan- - Gorgeous
Huw- Sweet
Otto- Quite cool, is it a bit trendy though?
Reuben- Not my cup of tea at all.
Rhys- Niiiice

Ada - Lovely
Cerys- Really pretty- Also like Carys
Detta- Wow! Lovely! Not too weird but I've never heard it before...

desertbee · 28/04/2010 06:39

No have not got the book. I'm currently out in Saudi and we don't have much of selection out here!

I mentioned Caris / Carys to hubs the other week... and he just chucked it back at me thanks to Silence of the Lambs. Fair enough.

Detta was my great grandmothers name and I do really like it, but I seem to be losing the fight on that one..

Be careful of Esme - it's in the Twilight books so runs the risk of being the next big thing

BallpointPen · 28/04/2010 11:05

Dylan or Reuben

Cerys or Esme.

CakeandRoses · 28/04/2010 11:37

Dylan or Otto
Esme

I love Evan, and Huw, I think they will be on my shortlist.
I really like Otto too but I know Dh wouldn't go for it.
Dylan and Rhys are nice but a bit more mainstream than the others.
Reuben, not keen sorry.

Cerys is the best out of your girls name, but I prefer Carys.
