    elle a random question I've been meaning to ask you, rhys' middle name, do you pronounce it to rhyme with a Larry or valerie, ie where do you put the emphasis? :)

    Al-ar-ree :)

    Speaking of random name questions, I've been meaning to ask you too, what do you call your little one mostly? Does Jonathan get used or is it Fergus/Fergie? :)

    only OH's mum and dad call him Jonathan, it's even in his medical notes 'they call him Fergus' so that's what he gets at the GP! :) We wanted to give him the option, because someone posted on MSE that no one with any sense would call a child fergus and that it would scar him! On my baby shower mini-thread that my old-style friends had for me on here to cheer me up on the day of my grannie's funeral!

    And we thought, well, it'll be good for him to have a conventional name to choose at big boy school if he'd like to. :)

    Sorry bit of a long answer :)

    :hello:Jonathan 'Fergie' Fergus William, born 05/03/09, 7lb 4.4oz:hello:

    It's actually AL-a-ree, said quickly.

    Rhys gets Rhysy.. or "Greasy Rhysy" when his hair used to get all matted up with the gel from the head scans :o

    We need to rent one of these - http://www.partyhouses.co.uk/

    Our intention is to hire something like that for the weekend, have all the family stay have a big BBQ.. and get married in the middle of it all ;)
  • Elle - you are inviting us all to your WEDDING :j:j:j


    I for one promise to blub my eyes out!!


    Weezl - what a t0sser :eek: how dare someone say that to you!! That's why I don't venture out of here very often now...too many idiots around.


    Benjamin is Benjamin - full name all the time. I find it quite hard when people call him Ben because to us he is Benjamin IYSWIM. Although we did pick the name with the idea that it could be Ben...:confused:

    My nephew is William, full name all the time and we can't imagine shortening it. Yet my bro's other boy is Alexander and has been called Alex since birth!


    Fritha - thank you :D
