Rudy Brae Bowman Smith 6lb9oz @ Portland Hosp, London

wonder if he came out wearing wellies ready for Glastonbury?!?!

Congrats to them all

awww congrats Edith

Wonder if it was a c-birth?

I had hoped she'd email and ask me to be her doula. Sigh..........

Not that she should have mind you, it just would've been nice!

She had a c-section due to her having a heart condition I heard.

Sweet name.

wonder if you can get ear defenders small enough for a newborn?

How do you pronounce brae?

Bray? Not sure.

Or is it Bry?

I had a cat called Rudy

Brae surely made up?

No, think brae is celtic for brown

I googled Edith this morning as wondered when she was due .....
noticed that Sara Cox has also had a boy called Isaac and Kate Thornton a boy named Ben.

Bre - scots word rhymes with Ray

I like that Dizzydixies

have never heard of it used as a name before tbh but then as one who's dd2's mn is Rae its not too unusual to me lol

Your dd2 has an mn name??!

Brae from Wikipedia

Brae is a settlement on the mainland of the Shetland Islands in Scotland. In this case, the name means "a slope to the sea", rather than a hill. It is located at the northeast end of Busta Voe, on the narrow isthmus that separates the mainland from Northmavine.

Brae is the Lowland Scots word for hill. The word 'Brae' in Shetland dialect has a different meaning; it comes from the Old Norse word breiðr meaning broad.

for all who are interested

rofl PPC - walked right into that

well I suppose if babies can have facebook pages why not a 2yr old with a MN name

I like th ename

Dinkydizzydixies?

I'm from Scotland and I call a hill, or an incline a Brae.

ah yes saltire - the infamous Electric Brae on the Ayrshire coast was what sprung to my mind lol

I did wonder why she used Brae for a middle name..... maybe he was conceived on one?

I suppose only Scots or those living in Scotland would know what Brae means

So if you meet someone called brae you would think 'hill'?

yup - tis a scottish thing

doesn't mean I don't think its ok as a name its just not really used as one iyswim

not along the lines of Innes/hamish/cameron/callum/struan etc etc

Brae is a new one on me for up here
