    Isaac, maybe, I like it more than OH does. Jared, possibly. Jonah or Jonas again we both love but is this getting popular? Also not sure about people shortening it to Joe.
    congrats on your boy fac :T

    Isaac is one of my favourites too but OH is less keen and Jonah is on our list but he's more keen on that and Joe than I am :rolleyes: we really can't agree :rotfl:

    Friends of my parents in law have 4 children.
    The eldest girl is Holly
    Then a boy, Silver
    Then a boy, Brave
    and the the youngest a girl, Miracle.
    I imagine Holly feels either very left out or very happy!!
    We named our fourth Hollie, and registered her, the next day we changed her name! (Born Boxing Day, along with loads of Holly's!) She was issued a second birth certificate!
    So she has 2 birth certificates with different names on!
    :starmod: I am not that savage :heartpuls But I am a Vixen :staradmin
  • I imagine Holly will be the only one not to change her name when shes old enough :)

    great thread, im expecting a girl in 12 weeks time and we have three names in mind, but will wait to see the baby before we decide for definate.
    we have stopped telling ppl our ideas for names as they always have some comment or other and i think its our decision not theirs and no1 would even comment if we had already named our baby.
    just looked and our names are in the 30ush zone of most popluar 2006. is that too high do you think? one of the names wasnt even on, maybe we will opt for that!

    We could not decide on a name for our little boy (born 20/5/07). so we got hold of our family trees and looked back for any interesting "family names". we found that we both like the idea of a surname that cloud double as a first name. we came up with FLECHER. it turns out that the name can be traced back to 1725 on my fathers side of the family.

    And Axel just makes me think of Axl Rose!!!
    There is an Axel in our village, he's 34.

    :rolleyes: Not saying that is the reason that Axl was named Axl.........but.....I did at least get hubby to agree it!:rotfl: (He chose the spelling btw)

    I really love the name India for a girl.
    If you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in :D
