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'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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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

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.
