Kit was on our shortlist for ds2. As was Ry (or Rye),and Fenn. Cant think of the others now. But we had a shortlist of about 25 at one point!!

I like Verity. But we'd have had Mary if either of them were girls. I wanted Mary Lolita, but dh said it had to be Mary Grace

mustrunmore · 01/08/2007 22:24

Jed.
Javen.
Luca.

Isla is really nice.

PeachesMcLean · 01/08/2007 22:25

Noo noo.

Well, I was reading today about a woman who has called her fourth child exactly that... And the article was about her clothing company not the shameful naming of her child. Wrong, just wrong.
