3 weeks to go and no names yet
We don't know what sex baby will be so need both.
Our 3 year old is Lily. Didn't realise this was as popular as it seems to be now, so something a bit different would be nice. If it's a girl, middle name will be Maguerite after my Gran or if it's a boy, Samuel after Dad. Any suggestions welcomed. Would quite like shortish first names!

If you are after something unusual, I'd avoid Holly/Hollie Evie/Eva/Ava Isobel and Naeve.

How about Camile Maguerite
Suran
Seren
Sarah
Clarabel
Christabel
Ada
Dulcie
Venice

Actually, I quite like Maguerite as a first name.

Arthur
Henry
George (though its not really unusual, ir ia ahort)

Ineedsomesleep · 06/05/2010 20:06

Are we kicking off the to drink or not to drink debate? I did both times, but obvsiously in moderation.

Yes you do sound totally addicted but not to worry eh. For me it was sushi, which I did have once, wine which a had for or five time and snickers. Totally avoided peanuts with first DC but just couldn't resist with no 2

The more I think about this thread the more I love Maguerite as a first name.

Thank you! Much food for thought. Yes, I really like Marguerite (sorry missed out and r originally) as a first name too, not sure why we are avoiding that. I guess it can be shortened in many ways and I even think Pearl is a nn for it.
Hmmm.... Wine would be nice but at the moment wine is instant heartburn material.

Harley Just wondering in what part of the country Daisy and Isobel are unusual

CakeandRoses · 10/05/2010 17:41

Another Marguerite

CakeandRoses · 10/05/2010 17:42

sorry, meant another vote

GladioliBuckets · 10/05/2010 17:52

Definitely Marguerite for first name, Maggie/Mimi for short? Then you'll have two flower names (if that's not anathema to you.)

How about another planty/nature one for a boy? Flick back few pages on the baby name board, there were a couple of threads on these last week.

flintski · 10/05/2010 21:11

As someone who has a dd who is a maggie and a friend who calls her marguerite for fun - I really love marguerite - go for it as a first name!
