Ok, this is a little random and nothing to do with babies or names at all and I didn't really know where to post this, but I'd like to hear from some berries please!


A wisdom tooth is currently...

Yes, I would do it. I do kind of obsess that combos I come up with must have some kind of meaning rather than just being plucked out of thin air, so I intend to use the meaningful & family names I...

These are the names that first came into my head-

Alexandra - Victoria, Mary, Adelaide, Alice
Amelia - Sophia, Augusta, Molly, Martha, Poppy
Audrey - Deidre, Blanche, Avery, Helena
Beatrix -...

This morning, Wayne and Coleen Rooney welcomed a son, Klay Anthony.

Ashley has pretty much always been a boy name this side of the pond. It's usable but I think it's really dated now though. Ashton seems to be the modern alternative :)

Pascoe is lovely :) With your surname, I'd steer clear of another 2 syllable name for the middle, and as it's a little unusual perhaps a more common middle name would work best?-


Pascoe Nicholas...

Carly or Letty would be cute :)

I think they're a very Scottish pair. I'm not keen on Skye though and I'm not sure if the two 'eye' sounds are too much :/
Anyway, for middles:

Isla Josephine and Skye Georgina
Isla Florence and...

But there are so many! If I restrict myself to 4...

William, Joseph, Thomas & James
Elizabeth, Emma, Grace & Sarah

There was a good thread on essential classics -'Little Black Dress' names- a...

William - Oh, but it's so lovely! Hmmm... James, Joseph, Arthur, Oscar, Jude, Thomas, Peter, David ;)
Anthony - Michael, Andrew, Matthew, Mark, Timothy, Richard, George
Camden - Landon, Logan,...

I love both Benjamin and Reuben with Dominic. All very handsome names :) Reuben Gregory is a lovely combo. I'd stick with the Reuben spelling if I were you- it's the most handsome imo and I think...

I still consider it a very male name myself. And there's still the Charley spelling :)

Other cheery nicknames-

Alfie
Archie
Teddy
Bobby
Robbie
Freddie

I agree with Ren's pronunciations, though I've never heard the name Thalia said out loud.




If you're in the south of the UK, I'm surprised you don't get EVE-lyn for Evelyn. I find that almost...

Oh I used to love Madeleine when I was younger. Used to be #1 on my lists! But the combination of the McCanns and an evil boyfriend-stealing b!tch I happen to know has made the name unusable for me....

Yes. What's wrong with 2?! I wouldn't think any less of anyone for having 2 MNs. I don't attach the 2 MN thing to a social class and I wouldn't think it weird if someone's the only child in the...

Oh but I think it'd go lovely in the middle spot next to some of the names you like! It's not that weird as a MN- several of my friends have Cornish names & places in the middle :) I don't know much...

Wow, Endellion seems to be in vogue on NB at the moment.

Personally, I wouldn't use it because St Endellion is just up the road from me and it's weird to hear it as a name- I'm not keen on 'place'...

Matilda and Daniel are lovely together! I like that they're so meaningful. But Clarence and Clancy seem like the odd guys here- all the other names work beautifully together but those two seem dated...

Current consonant crushes: Alice, Appelin, Carys, Charlotte, Ellen, Emblyn, Endelyn, Enid, Ennor, Eseld, Evelyn, Florence, Foye, Harriet, Helen, Isobel, Jennifer, Kate, Lillian, Loer, Mabyn, Morgan,...

Eliza Lucille
Rosanna Kate
Morwenna Foye
Evelyn Loer
Isabella Loveday
Charlotte Ren
Harriet Primrose
Olive Lowenna
Alice Elizabeth
Sophia Enid

Posy, Pauline and Darcy seem like obvious dancer names to me :)

Others that suit feel classic, pretty and dainty to me: Fleur, Lily, Eve, Anna, Rose, India, Grace, Ivy, Elise, May, Nell, Pearl
...

I pronounce them differently :/ Violet is VIO-lut but Violette is VIO-let or VEE-oh-let

Yes. That is what I do.

I've lost count of the number of 'does popularity matter?' threads I've seen/responded to. My reasoning is here:...

Karen
Ceren
Renee
Florence
Lauren
Seren
Serenity
Kerensa
Brenna
Mirren

pinkcandle, I'm so sorry for your loss. I really feel for you. Though I can't relate to your experience personally, a blogger I follow had a son who was also stillborn and she has dedicated a blog to...
