Sagitta, I'm contracting too. What do you do? I'm a technical writer. My contract finishes end of March anyway so it is good timing.
Grandparents'names: Jack , Peggy, Michael and Nora, don't know dh's.
Esme is very pretty, I think.
I am stuck for names, I still like Alannah but my dh doesn't. There are some Irish names I like - RéiltÃn, Ailbhe or LÃadan -but she will spend all her time spelling it or correcting the pronounciation! My dh wants to name her Suzanne (my name) but we'll call her Suzy. Is it a bit vain, not to mention confusing, to give her the name as me?!
