WO, I'm back at work on 3 March, scary! I'm trying not to think about that weirdo but I do have another idea about who it might be, need to consider it further.
D fell asleep in the middle of lunch, so I tucked him up in the playpen, closed the curtains because the sun was very in his face and had a catnap on the sofa. Am getting him to eat a bit more but will take him out for a bit soon and meet dp.
Several people commmented on how many names D had when he was born for such a little person. Daniel Patrick Ross Calvert Davin is named Daniel for my mother's father, and has my surname, also my mum's name (she went back to her maiden name after she split with my dad around the time I was born and didn't change it again. I changed to my mum's name from my dad's when I left school as it seemed like a good time to do it. My brother and sister also started using our mum's name when their dad left her for someone else). Then D has a middle name which is shared with a few of my family in some form (Patrick) reflecting our Irish via New Zealand heritage! Ross is dp's paternal middle name - him, his dad etc going back had that middle name, and Calvert is his surname so if D wants to use it later it's there.
Didn't want hyphens and double barrelled names as it can be hard being a kid from a weird middle class family in a working class area anyway and that may well happen to D, it did to me. My cousin grew up in Kentish Town and used to leave out the first half of his surname and just be a Smith.
Eeek, that was long. Time to change D and take him out.
I was thinking of Eliza if I had a daughter, probably would have registered her as Elizabeth to give her a choice of abbreviations later. My cousins have already used a lot of names I would have liked for their kids - Rosa, Paddy (Patrick) and Alex(andra).
