I think I've decided on the name for our DD (due in July), but part of me thinks it would be nice to go for a Polish or Ukranian name (as that's where my maternal grandparents are from). Does anyone have any nice suggestions? We are using Maria as a middle name.

Oooh, there are some nice ones on your list Daisy.

She's fine, but had a moment of panic, called the poison control (for the phosphorus) etc.
I only left her for 3 minutes while filling up the bath and she found some matches dp left laying about .

Sorry for hijack, OP, but Daisy, have you been at the seaside recently? Want to go for summer holidays, but haven't been for ages. Debki? Jurata?

That must have been sooo scary for you , winny !
Very glad no harm done. Think positive - hopefully, your DP will be much much careful in the future.

I always struggle to relax re my DH and hot drinks , is he always super careful where he places them with DS around ?
Men, most of them, are simply not as hardwired about child safety as we are. Of course, in their defence, they do not spend hours on mumsnet, reading all the parent panic threads,swallowed balloons etc, learning from others experiences, ...
I said most men , as my BIL is like a mother hen to his two boys, honestly, wouldn't let them play for five minutes unsupervised in the next room. And they are 5 and 8 !

Winny, I'm a western girl, so for us it is always Swinoujscie, Miedzyzdroje, Dziwnow etc
And I LOVE Kolobrzeg. My middle DS actually vows to move over there when adult.
We all love Polish seaside full stop. Well, when the sun shines, that is.

Yes, OP, please pardon the momentary hijack.
