    Well I've just discovered that i am a complete thicko (Again!) I thought I hadn't worked enough weeks in my temp job last yr to claim MA hence me originally claiming JSA - but It turns out I worked for 16 wks - how could I have an A-level in maths but not manage to count some weeks on a calendar :confused:

    :eek: Does that mean you didn't have to and sign on for 6m?! :eek:

    :p:p:p I knew someone would say that! :rotfl:

    Ps. no-one told me their thoughts on Cordelia :cry: don't you love me anymore? ;)
    My only issue is that I'm not a big fan of Delia or Cordy as shortened forms

    and by the way both Edgar and Cordelia are Shakespeare characters which is partly why I like them - hubby won't allow Tatiana, amongst many other ones I like :(

    When I'm thinking of names, I try to think of a toddler, an 8 year old, a 15 year old and a thirty something solicitor (or similar professional type!) with that name and only like it if it fits someone of all ages..

    Have to say I'm not taken with Cordelia as I just can't picture it going with all the above ages :o

    (obviously if you decide on that, I love it! ;):D)

    Elle thats what I was thinking.
    I like longish names that are "grown up" but have shortened forms suitable for when they are little and cute Like my name :D I'm Sami when I'm being cute and Samantha when I'm posh/grown up

    Please note I can break any of my own rules to suit my feelings on a whim tho! :A

    A few from the top half of the list.. :)

    Beatrice - if you can get over the Heather Mills (formerly -McCartney) connection
    Cassandra
    Celia - if Fritha will allow it ;)
    Catherine
    Christopher - oh no, got one of them!
    Constance - shortened to Connie (my nana's name!)
    Jessica

    ETA: Yet again, I've gone in a "girl" direction.. I didn't even mean to either!
