mmm, always think those that are unecessarly unpleasant must have a sad life,oh well if it makes you feel better, good for you!

Robin - I wasn't being unnecessarily unpleasant, honestly, I wasn't. The thread title asked what I thought of the name. I think it sounds up it's own arse. That's not a reflection on you, your choices or your daughter etc. Just not my type of name.

Soz if it pissed you off but you did ask!
