CONGRATULATIONS!

Not sure where to start with names, but thought I'd congratulate you both  :wink:

But after hearing about your driving history from your brother (and seeing your new avatar)..... BE CAREFUL IN FUTURE, THINK OF YOUR CHILDREN!  :lol:

what i found is that you and the missus buy a book or two of babynames, then sit independently and list suitable names for both sexes, then get together with the list and see if you have common ones.

also something i was weary of is to make sure the name isnt going to cause your child grief when they grow up.

when i walked through town i heard something like porsche for a girl and i heard mercedes

maybe in LA or NY they may suit but not chorley! ;)

16-years, and some, my two daughters (21 and 25) have both just had daughters (3-months and 14-months) and the cycle is starting again, even when the first cycle hasn't even finished.

Congrates anyway.

Regarding a name, I'd suggest, You little [PooPoo], saves confusing them as they grow up.... :wink:  :wink:  :wink:

Mercedes I can live with, since I found out that the designer of the original Mercedes car named it after the daughter of one of his colleagues.

I've heard those names too, and they were sisters.  Their brother was called Cosworth :shock:

Honest.  The youngest was called Laura.

If you want some baby name books, the wife is sure we still have some we don't want somewhere, I'll send them to you if you pm me you address. We're talking thousands and thousands of names here.

As for unusual, my eldest is Taliesin and the youngest is Malachi.

Hi,

be thankful you only have to find one name - i had twins!!!!

finding a name that

1 - can't be shortened into something potentially offensive

2 - won't cause amusement (in australia there is a drink called milo, as was one of the girl's best friends when we lived there)

3 - does not spell a rude word with initials or clash with surname

4- cannot be messed with ( bridget richards was a suggestion by one of our friends for their daughter - hubby turned this into rigid britches - daughter was called Luisa instead)

5 - is acceptable to both parents (and family)

etc etc

is a near impossible task.

We ended up with Lauren (as in Bacall) and Jodie (as in Foster).  This nearly fit with above requirements - Lauren has managed to shorten Jodie to Jodes but at least this does not cause offense to Jodie!!!

we knew we were having girls so we only had to find female names.  

On a end note - when people asked what names we had selected (before they were born) we answered Lucretia and Jezebel - most people were not sure if we were joking or not!!!

Have lots of fun picking names!!

regards

When our first ws due, we spent ages generating a list of boys and girls names.

3 weeks after being born we finally decided on Robert (Bertie to his friends) ... which wasn't on the list :roll:

For the other two, we waited until they were born and then thought about names :D

Don't do a Bob Geldof / Paula Yates and call 'em summat like 'tiger lily' or 'fifi trixibelle', cos it sounds like a dog's name, and they will hate you forever.  If you have an 'interesting' name for them in mind, give them 2 names - my second name is Anastasia (pronounced Anastarzia, the russian way).  I had a boring old middle name, so when I changed the surname when my Mum got remarried, the boring old 'Ann' got booted out (sorry to all of you Anns out there), and the quirky russian name came in.  Those of you who know me will know exatly why!!

Don't call them something from Lord of the Rings (unless you're a really really big fan), as in 20 years there will be a host of Arwens and Aragorns and Legolases at uni, like there's a rash of Kylies now.

BTW, my name Julie Anastasia actually means 'Youthful Prayer'.  You could go for something like that, with 'hidden' meaning.

weve always liked cameron or bethan (i also like meghan and hannah but there stories of old!)
wife works in a school and im in a hospital, so most kids names conjour up images of somone elses kids and behaviour.
 like most have said check what names can be shortened to and if youd actually want to be called it, most of all

CONGRATULATIONS and GOOD LUCK

Why don't you have a look at Greek, Roman and Norse mythology?
Some interesting ones are Juno, Ulric, Freya etc.  If they're good enough for gods/godesses, surely there's something there that will suit 'bump'!
