Kyle
Ellie
Jaden/Jayden
Chanelle
etc etc... and apologies if you have called your child any of the above
I put Ellie because a squillion little girls are called that.
Freya is a nice name but there are so many now - it really turns me against such names,no matter whether they are nice

I wish they were, but people actally give the kids the initials as names - they don't stand for anything.

My Mum had an Elvis in her class last year. That MUST be due a comeback - or a 68 comeback special at least....

I like Reilly, the one I know is my dds best friend and is a lovely girl, Just very popular here in Canada.

Oh well, I have an Eleanor often called Ellie - she was the only one I knew of when I named her almost 10 years ago. And anyway, she was born in a French speaking part of the world where her name sounded like El-ay-a-NOR which sounded dead gorgeous. So there [sticks out tongue emoticon]

scorpio1 · 06/06/2007 17:23
