Hello my name is Libby. Married to Andy we have 4 children and are expecting our 5th in November (how did that happen) I have posted this with help from my dear friend and wondered if you could help me.

WE found naming all our children really easy, in fact we liked so many names that we were spoilt for choice but for some reason all of us are stumpted. Not keen on our youngest's suggestion of Milo or Fizz haha!

Can anyone help, we currently have a Henri, Cecily, Violetta and a Mimi (actual name Annone)

I don't like very modern names I prefer quite old fashioned but don't mind if they are quite well used if you know what I mean. I quite like Constance for a girl and Hugo for a boy but my hubby detests those. Typical!

I have been reading threads for quite a while now and felt compelled to post one myself as we are having such a hard time in agreeing anything.
Many thanks in advance

Um, while I am on the subject for ages I loved Cosimo, is that too poncey?

Oh, Felix is lovely too. I think I will keep revisiting these messages and mull over all suggestions actually.

I want another baby just in the hope that it would be a boy and I could call him FRED, (not much chance; my DH has had a vasectomy but anyway...) you watch this name will be the ultimate in cool in a few years.

I also like Beatrix, Beatrice and Blythe for girls.

basketcase · 09/08/2005 21:21

I liked cosimo for mine - but put off when sil kept saying it reminded her of quasimodo..

lilibet · 09/08/2005 21:21

I like Miriam for a girl, but probably not good with a Mimi.

basketcase · 09/08/2005 21:21

Oooh - Blythe is lovely.
I love the name Rae for a girl. Think I will use it as a middle name if I am lucky enough to have another girl.

Are the french in tonight? Lets get unusual and translate names like Poppy,Daisy and all those old flower names.

hunkermunker · 09/08/2005 21:35

Was totally not paying attention then and read treacletart as one of the suggestions!

hunkermunker · 09/08/2005 21:36

Daisy's Marguerite, I think.

libbyss · 09/08/2005 21:42

Yes Daisy is Margarita in Italian too. It's my nieces name.

The names I wasn't allowed to have, and I can offer up since now I'm 43 the accidental b/g twins are not going to happen, are

Catriona (girl, obviously, and pronounced Scottishly - CaTREEuh-na not CATriOHna) and
Robin (boy, don't like it for girl).

Dh deliberately made a mess of trying to say Catriona and Robin he said was WET. I love Catriona still though.
