Sorry- because Ruby is cool and fiery

Rantum · 29/03/2007 22:24

Sorrel, cos Miranda is well, Miranda-ish

Jack or John

ScummyMummy · 29/03/2007 22:25

John because Jack is ubiquitous these days (once vice versa)

Pauline, Petrova or Posy

Stargazing · 29/03/2007 22:27

Petrova because have long-held obsession with Russia.

Not Pauline because is my despised MiL

Lucia or Lucinda?

QueenofTwee · 29/03/2007 22:28

John, cos Jack is way too popular now

Ebony or Peony

berolina · 29/03/2007 22:29

Lucia, definitely.

QueenofTwee · 29/03/2007 22:29

Lucinda, because the cinda part sounds like cinderella

Lacey or Tansy

QueenofTwee · 29/03/2007 22:30

Florian, sounds like Dorian in Dorian Grey

Ebony or peony

QueenofTwee · 29/03/2007 22:31

sorry - keep on getting timed out

ScummyMummy · 29/03/2007 22:31

I honestly can't choose between Ebony and Peony... Both are equally and utterly horrendous!

Lacey- has (distant) family connestions

Ferdinand- sounds like a nice frog

Gene or Sam

Rantum · 29/03/2007 22:31

Michaela or Alethea

Rantum · 29/03/2007 22:32

Gene although it is tough to choose
Michaela or Alethea

QueenofTwee · 29/03/2007 22:33

Alethea - just don't like Michael or Michaela

Penelope or Emmeline

Stargazing · 29/03/2007 22:33

Noel or Noelle?

ScummyMummy · 29/03/2007 22:33

Michaela because i know how to pronounce it

Tony or Gordon

ScummyMummy · 29/03/2007 22:35

Noel because she wrote Ballet Shoes and other great works (Sorrel/Miranda is from Curtain Up)

Penelope because of the wrong pronunciation being nice

Bathsheba or Tess

Stargazing · 29/03/2007 22:37

Tony and Gordon are both too awful for words.

Tess, because of Thomas Hardy. Although I like Bathsheba just because it's a bit daft.

berolina · 29/03/2007 22:38

Tess

Tony/Gordon - neither nor, please
