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.

I can't believe those vile things they called parents got away on manslaughter charges!!! disgusting!!!

I know a couple with 7 children and a grandchild or 2 all have names beginning with M ... OH and Sis both have A names

Totally agree, it's disgusting. I just do not understand.

I've been in a couple of times but only to the Mat Assessment for a UTI, Anti-D and then my panic last week. Oh and the time they took blood but labeled it wrong so I had to go back the next day and give it again, that was fun :rotfl:Got my 20 week scan on the 9th but I have no idea where to go, I'm hoping there'll be someone on reception to tell me!

Anti-D stings like hell. I felt so silly whimpering about it when the woman beside me was clearly in early labour though!

Last time we were there the main door wasn't open because they were doing building work around there so we had to go in the side entrance (no reception). I was wandering around looking for where to go for the 20 week scan. I found someone to ask and DUH, you go to Ultrasound :rotfl:So just follow the signs for ultrasound and there is a reception within ultrasound that you can check-in at.

Where did you go for your Anti-D? Strange that you've had it already - I was told it was to be at 28 weeks. I've had the Anti-D before (previous MC) and hardly felt it I did get it in the bum though :rotfl:I'm hoping this one will be ok too. I have the whooping cough jab the following day - fun! Lol!

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

My neice is Esme We call her all manner of things that begin with Es. Sometimes just Es in fact, but mainly Eskimo, sometimes Esmeralda, or Pablo (Pablo Escobar - the Columbian drug lord :rotfl:)

Aww pp lottie is adorable, beautiful dog. Had my whooping jab today and a colleague noticed my arm had bled through my top, walking around with a blood soaked top, lovely! Arm is quite sore now. Baby measuring spot on. There was a story about the philpotts last night, i still can't comprehend it all, just terrible. Those poor children.

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.

A family friend named all his kids so the boys' names started with A and the girls' names started with Z.

I kind of regret Erin's middle name being May - just because everyone flipping hyphenates it - but there were reasons it was chosen as that and not just as one of the cop-out type middle names people can tend to view it as. Robyn got Isabelle as I'd always liked the name and it was my nan's middle name (her first name was Phoebe which enjoyed a bout of nuts popularity during the Friends era) - but Twilight drove the Isabella type names right up to insane levels of popularity and I didn't want to be mistaken for a Twilight fan so we used it as a middle name.

As for the cutesy names (particularly for little girls) - the whole Daisy, Poppy type ones... we stayed away from them because they're not really ones you can imagine a great big galumphing teenager fitting easily - indeed the one Daisy I've known recently was an aforementioned great big galumphing teenage goth and it really didn't fit her well. Alfie... well it's one of my grey hair names - I have a range of grey hairs for which a certain Alfie is responsible and, after saying a name at 10 minute or less intervals every single school day for a year, you tend to have it firmly OFF your own name list (Thomas was the other major source of my grey hairs in various guises... including the one who fed my brand new electric pencil sharpener paperclips - grrrr)... Alexandra was one girls' name we were after that went a similar way.

Actually went to register Robyn the other day - got a registrar who couldn't spell for toffee... took three attempts to correct my place of birth (and if you work as a registrar and can't spell "County" right you're in the wrong line of work really... especially when you work for the county council), she couldn't spell hubby's occupation, and best of all - she couldn't spell my first name... it's THREE letters! It was painful beyond belief!

Oh and someone in our family nicked our dog's name for their baby recently - still not happy about how that was done or handled.

My Ava is quaverface.. in fact none of mine get their name unless they are in trouble.

(The Boy, Bunny, Bear, Dolly or Clawberry, Boogaloo, Mimi, Moomin, Quaverface, Baloo and Squish..)

Wow don't know what just happen but my baby head has been 3/5 for the last 2 weeks and something just felt kinda weird then , like his head has just turn 360 degrees, what a strange feeling that was!!

If had to change my doctors as I moved and make midwife appointment for next week, my doctors don't have midwives at the surgery so ave to go to the local hospital , so phone up and I'm not even registered on the mid Essex register I'm only nearly 37 weeks!!! I'm only registered with the hospital Ive got to go to instead!! what is going on??
Reminds me last time I had a baby I went home and no midwives came round for a week so I phoned them, and I wasn't even on the local midwife list for home visit, lucky I wasn't a first time mum And didn't have ne problems x
Bad though xx

I wanted to call our baby Mimi - I absolutely love it, don't know why, its just kinda filmstar-ish (!) - but OH won't have any of it! So I had to have a rethink!

Our baby won't have a middle name - her surname will be double barrelled as we aren't married (equal rights that she has both of our names and all that!) - so we feel that it might be too much. I'm not a fan of names that go on and on.....!

But of course I might change my view in the heat of the moment and give her 5 middle names....!:p

Helen - I would be quite happy to not have any mw's come round - nor health vistors - I would rather visit them at my local surgery - I hate being intruded on at home!!! (am I odd for feeling like this?)

Mimi is actually Madeleine..

I don't have them come round.. they irritate me so the MW is permitted to come 2 or 3 times.. the compulsory visit and the discharge one usually and one in between if they have to but usually for heel stabbing.. HV I refuse to see.. they are for those who need help/support.. I'd say advice but theirs is crap.. so I won't see them either.. I cannot abide incompetence and they seem to be rife with it.

I don't do antenatals or consultants or anyone while pregnant either.. if I am ill I am quite capable of ringing them I don't need to be poked and prodded and whinged at and told lies so I refuse to go. Last time I had the GP ring me twice, the consultant ring me once and the midwives ring me every so often. I use my maiden name on my medical stuff so if they asked for someone using that name I said it was the wrong number lol
