nappyaddict, where are you getting all these names from? You're an amazing fount of baby-name knowledge! I'm too scared to read in case I get more names onto my list that I'll have to decide between!

i like jemima and stella and also estrella, estelle or estella.

what about araminta - minta or minty for short?

i dunno - i hear a name i like on tv, the radio, on here, in rl and then it reminds me of a whole load of other names!!

Yeah, Estella's pretty.
Fly to Hollywood and be a baby-name consultant to the A-listers!

olivia mary
joseph john

family tradition,and dh grandad was a john,he has an uncle john,my brother is called john,my dad's middle name is john so it just felt right

same here but ours is morgan. although i am going to break the tradition and start using it for girl's too if i have one.

i would love another girl to even things out lol,i am really broody at the moment my ds2 was 1 today and have been really emotional all day (my baby is growing up)

if i did have another girl my fav name is catlyn grace

a few months ago i thought i was pregnant and at the time i thought it would be the end of the world. ds was really hard work and the prospect of another baby filled me with dread. fast forward a few months and i'm so broody!

everybody is broody at the mo ,must be a full moon,everytime i ask dh for another baby he laugh's at me

i like fifi. apparently its another pet name for josephine. also like pax for a girl. it means peace in latin which is also a nice name for a girl.
