Not Ann
Don't know... Lily is lovely though

Northernlurker · 11/01/2009 20:27

I find Lily quite tricky actually. Maybe Lily Mae (or is that a bit too cute?) Lily Jade, Lily Rose (definately too cute), Lily Faith???, Lily Ruth?

Northernlurker · 11/01/2009 20:29

Lily Grace is lovely - but what's Erin's middle name - isn't that Grace?

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:29

Lily Rose?

Think you have to be quite careful about it not sounding like a "chavvy" name altogether iykwim ...like LilyAnn aor LilyAnna or LilyMarie ....does that makes sense!!?

Hope I haven't offended anyone

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:30

Lily Ruth is nice

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:30

Lily Estelle

StealthPo09IsHere · 11/01/2009 20:31

Lily Suzanne?

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:32

Lily Ava

Lily Katherine

Lily Sophia

Lily Phoebe

Just thought I would suggest the best girls' name in ythe whole world!!?

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:32

Lily Isobel is lovely, I think

StealthPo09IsHere · 11/01/2009 20:32

Who is Ava?

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:33

...or Lily Matilda?

I'm getting waaay to into this now. what's your boy's name anyway?

StealthPo09IsHere · 11/01/2009 20:33

Lily Katherine works! Lily and Phoebe almost sound like they rhyme, so I don't think that does. Lily Sophia...hmm, I think Sophia is too much to be a middle name iykwim?

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:36

Agree SPB - LOVE Lily Isobel though ... what about you .... boys and girls name!!? I think if we did ever have another we'd have Rcahel for a girl and Arthur for a boy. I LOVE the name Aurelia though. DH HATES it

Ava's a girls name ....

StealthPo09IsHere · 11/01/2009 20:36

I need to know who Ava is!
Although - Lily Eve?

StealthPo09IsHere · 11/01/2009 20:37

I'm hoping you mean Rachel - that looks hard to pronounce!
Snap on the boy's name, DH loves Arthur, I like it but prefer George slightly. Alice is the only girl's name we can agree on and we both do like it.

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:39

Not liking Lily Eve.

If it was Lily Isobel, initials would be LIC ... that ok!!?

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:40

Alice is pretty ....

Lily Alice?

George is cute

Yes, I meant Rachel ... I think we could just about get away with Phoebe and Rachel!!?

Maybe.

I like Maria to, but not sure it would go too well with DD2's name

Eddas · 11/01/2009 20:42

Lily would've been ds' name had he been a she. We were having MIL's name as his middle name, but it's not one i'd choose otherwise so I won;t suggest it. Infact MIL doesn't seem to like it either, think she thinks her mum had a funny 5 mins when it was choosen!! Glad ds was not a dd now as we only found that out after he was born!

Erm, you could go with names like dh's mate, his kids are

Eric Danger
Magda Moo
and something too weird to even remember as I was so I didn't like to ask them to repeat it!!

I kid you not BTW!

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 20:44

Ooooh, intrigued - what is the middle name Eddas!!?

Some people are just cruel

DH wants pooter so off to Dyson pine needles .... the joys. Will be back later to see oooggs' verdict on our suggestions

Eddas · 11/01/2009 20:47

MIl's name is Cherry, which goes ok with Lily, well ish! I like middle names to be meaningful, although not sure why as mine and my siblings aren't. my brother's middle name is my dad's name instead of the family one as Dad didn't wnat to pass on Sydney

DD's middle name is my mums name and ds' is dh's middle name and also dh's dad's name

oooggs · 11/01/2009 20:51

well you lot have good taste!!!!!!!!

Lily Grace is lovely - but yes NL Grace is Erin's middle name so won't be using that one and at the moment we are stuck on Lily Rose - I am 99% sure it is a boy who will be Luke Daniel

geordieminx · 11/01/2009 20:55

Lily Ella

CaptainDippy · 11/01/2009 21:01

Agree with Eddas - DD1's middle name is my name, DD2's middle name is my foster mum's name and DD3's middle names are SILs middle name and DH's grandma's name.

LilyElla - it's one of those

Eddas · 12/01/2009 09:46

so this morning.

Georgia races downstairs, bleary eyed. Her first words. 'im going to big school today i'm so excited' along with a big

We have breakfast and get dressed, take the obligatory photos (i'll add one to my profile in a bit!)

Drive to school and begin the walk up the steep hill. She won't let me carry her bag, 'i'm a big school girl now i'll carry it!' i'm sure that novelty will wear off pretty quickly after a little way we bump into her best friend from pre-school who started school in September and that's where the need for me stopped!

They wlaked off up the hill chatting like little old ladies! They walked off into the playground whilst I chatted to the other mum. Other new mums asked where dd was(their dc holding their hands like all other normal children) 'over there somewhere' I say whilst waving vaguely around Her class are called and she goes up the steps with her friend. I get a little bit of a thought as she just about bothers to check where I am!!

Next thing, all she's fussed about is finding her name above a peg! So we show her, coat comes off, bag hang up and then she's off!! Do I get a goodbye? A kiss? nope!! So I follow her into class and eventually get a goodbye and a kiss

I don't know why I was at all worried!!!!!

Eddas · 12/01/2009 09:50

oooggs, I love Luke Daniel, lovely name and I love Lily too! I'm not sure what i'd put with Lily though, but maybe a longer name as Lily is short and so is your surname so it can be a bit longer without sounding daft if that makes sense!! I don't htink i'd go with anything like Lily May or Lily Ella, I feel like Dippy about those hope that doesn't offend, it isn't meant to, if you lived where i'd do you'd know why!!

One name I keep thinking of is Lily Marie for some odd reason, not sure why but it keeps popping into my head!
