I like slightly unusual names for girls (I have a very old name that was v unusual when I was growing up, quite popular now though - bah!) but traditional names for boys.

think BS only used much in US. and then I thought it was only really used on TV when they're not allowed to swear (e.g. on CSI)

Sure methusalah (sp?) is due for a comeback. I think beelzebub is great, is a shame about the associations...

f? I thought f was her second name? Isn't she c?

homemama · 28/10/2005 13:55

Sorry Georgina, hope I didn't offend. I actually really like the name and if it hadn't been so popular then maybe...
My problem is being a teacher names go with faces.

We still mostly all call her 'baby'

But boys names are easy. It's only girls' names that are hard.
