Thanks guys. Just managed to catch up should have done that before ranting, perhaps would have put things into perspective a bit better for me....Kay, that's really sad, your poor parents - good job they've got you and your DC('s!).
We have a really really difficult last name, as those that have found me on FB will know...DS has the same name as a famous racing driver from the 70's and not sure what we'll do if we have another as his name is my absolute fave and the others just don't go with our last name....they include jacob, jake, jack, (theme 'j'? ) joshua is nice and is a possibility.
If we have a girl then the plan at the moment is for her to be Emily and have my mum's first name as her middle name - mum will be cross though as she hates her name, we like it though and DS is carrying FIL and my (step but may as well be real) dad's first names as middle names.
DS is my dad's only grandson and giving him his first name as a middle name was really important to my dad, so really pleased we did it.
Mmmmmm I can smell curry.
