Love all the chat about names - I'm now sitting going "Charlotte...charlotte...Lottie..." after saying I didn't like it! I don't want a name that ends with the "ae" sound because our surname ends with that. I know that's just being picky lol.

Got my rings back, they're so shiney!

Some names sound better/worse once you put them with middle name and surname too. Middle name we've been set on for ages...Eve...after my nan

I liked Aoife (ee-fa) but it's very like Eve which is my baby cousin's (okay, she's 4) name. That and OH said it sounded stupid. Hmph.

Mine is having Edward as a middle name after my greatgrandad if it is a boy and probably Esme if not a boy

Lol. Alfie is my pet hate! Really sweet for a little boy but, as you say, not good for a grown man.

We're still trying to think of a middle name. I like Luke but DH, who is a huge Star Wars nerd, isn't keen because he doesn't want his friends to think he's named his child after Luke Skywalker. I just think it's a nice name that goes well with Oliver and with our surname. I'll just have to keep working on him...

I just wish people would consider their child as an adult with a baby name before giving their child it.. I loved Daisy for DD2, the got it as a middle name because it sounds silly on an adult IMO.

LOL... Squeaks initials are FTW.. for those non-gamer geeks this is abbreviated 'for the win' ... so Luke would be fine lol. You could always try Lucas?? (Just avoid George as a middle name) or Luca.. I really like Luca.

Aoife and Eve are quite similar I'd avoid it.

A family friend had a beautiful girlfriend called Evalotta ... she was about 10ft 2 and 1/2 an inch wide.. and Dutch I believe.. but it is a pretty name.

wow lots of chit chat at the moment!! i love reading this at the moment, so much goin on!!

why is it that when you know someone with a name who you think is a little rat bag you just hate that name after when someone suggest it.
my mother in law keeps saying i love the name lenny, well she can love the name all she wants to, i think it awful and just reminds me of keith lemon and i cant stand him either!!

ive used the middle name of paul ( husband middle name and his dads name)
and Reg( husband grandad name , who is no longer here now)
so now im stuck with this one, i thnk ill just wait till he is here now as you get 6 weeks after they are born to offical name them.

better go and do some housework now, before i get lazy again
bye bye for now

That's why it's off the list I'm still rooting for Eilis

I like that too.. and Aisling

I have an 'A' and an 'E' though so can't have either.. I think it is very important for them all to have different initials for the sake of future mail!

I am only doing one wall in that paper-it's a bit pricey! Martin wouldn't be happy with me! Then the rest white, so BB i reckon if you did one wall with the stars then the opposing wall with the decals that should work?
I tried to add Tabitha to my list a few wks ago but there was a lot of face-pulling whenever I mentioned it, then i got to thinking about it being shortened to Tabby. Clare there's a welsh verson Eirlys but it's pronounced Ayrlis which is quite pretty.

My best friend is Aisiling, I love it but not keen on naming tiny human "after" someone. I agree regarding initials - I know it's completely besides the point but when I heard the story yesterday about the 6 poor kids that were killed in that fire and they all had really similar names I thought it was so odd.
