    That's amazing news, Flower! Glad the little one is healthy, are you wanting another boy or hoping for a girl?


    After the worrying week we have had I honestly couldn't care less as long as baby is happy and healthy. Although we do have a rediculous amount of boys clothes that could be used again!

    Sorry spelt it wrong - Caomhan.

    Myself and OH argue over this. Different dialects!

    I would pronounce it - Kwee-vawn

    And OH - Kee-veen (and he would spell Caoimhin)

    It is Irish for Kevin

    Lol - I don't think posher. Just different accents. I have a Dublin accent (not strong one) and he has a Galway accent.

    I love Amelie too and would have chose this but her surname would have began with A too so may have been a bit too much.

    I could never pick Amelie because my niece is Amelia, but I think it is the most beautiful name :)
