what's your favourite baby name...

[captainbovine]

I don't have a favourite but I quite like Madelaine, Jessica,

cannot stand Chardonay...apologies to anyone who has a Chardonay in the family!!

[bitsnknots]

I quite like Jessica as well CB.  I don't like names like Chelsea.  Apologies to anyone with a Chelsea in the family.  For boys names, I like Matthew, Daniel, Adam and James.

I quite like Charlie/Charley for both boy and girl

A couple who live near me have a granddaughter named Charley.

Constance, Faith and Hope.

I've never really liked the name Jessica although it does seem very popular, I do like Jess or Jessie though
I quite like the names Heather & Emily ...... I didn't used to like the name Imogen but its kind of grown on me now
I don't like a lot of the modern names

[bitsnknots]

I never used to like the name Grace but I do now.  There was a girl in the same class as me at school with the name Grace and she was a horror.  That's what put me off the name I think.

Charlotte, could then be Charlie, Lottie etc depending on if its a tomboy or a girly girl. Boys names Mathew, Christopher and Samuel.

New baby next door is called Teddy, pit my foot in it when I said short for Edward no its Teddy I was told. How long before he is nicknamed bear.

Some people don't think about what nicknames their children will have when they're chosing names.

I put my size 9 in it when I said Tia was an awful name...only to find out I was telling the father or a new born Tia!!! I quite like it now...ooops.

If I'd have been a boy I would have been called Daffydd John... I still have a Celtic name now dont I?

[bitsnknots]

If I'd have been a boy, I'd have been called Gregory because my mum Gregory Peck.  

I was going to be called Janet but somehow, I ended up being called Christine.  I much prefer Chris though.

I was a Karen before I was adopted

Peeps really should think though as in work we have a Jonathon Johns now known as Jon Johns ???????

also a paula ivy .................... who married a james Garvey so is now  P.I.G by initials

[dark_castle1]

Well CB, you are named after an island in the Irish Sea about 26 miles from where I live and about 12 or 13 from Girvan. It could have been worse though because it is commonly known in these parts as Paddys Milestone. From folklore it was thrown by a giant in Ireland at a giant in Scotland but landed short.

It has a meaning though and that is "supernatural victory".

I hope Steph's surname isn't Crops as both her daughters will be G M Crops! 

[bitsnknots]

Their surname is Birch so the girl's initials are GMB which just happens to be the initials of a trade union.

[bitsnknots]

Just remembered that an uncle of mine was called Bill Williams and my mum used to work with someone called Bob Roberts.

[ginap.123]

My girls were at school with a Robert Roberts. Parents with no imagination.
Could be worse. Could be a girl called Theresa Green 😆

[chickengrandma-2008]

Or even a girl called Di Laffin! 

[mustard-tree]

I always laugh when I hear people say that you cant call a baby Arthur or Herbert.  They are old man`s names.

I know what they mean, but those old men were babies once.

We had a school secretary called Wendy House
