that reminds me of lisasgotnoshame's(i think it was anyway!) alter ego ophelia dixon sachs......

which took me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages to get btw!!!

Me too, it's a lovely name this girl who I know called her baby it because it is the last name of the dad's best friend.

I didn't know that was lisasgotnoshame!!

i'm positive it was rexi........she also did a blokes name that was funny......but i've got a mental block now and can't think of it!

I like both Bailey and Riley

I was asked at school if my mother was drunk when she gave me my name   kids can be so cruel

Dagny

i really like ethan and isaac for boys.oooooo and jacob too........

i had tons of boys names ready......then had 2 girls and was stuck!!!

my granda's name was elphinstone    imagine giving that name to a kiddie now  !!

good choice  it's said Aimeeeee  but no-one says it that way  i've always called her dirty gert anyway

Ah, Helix!

Pengy is a bit of a strange name

looks at their name

yeah... but that was in the days when most people were called Karen, Louise, Helen, Nicola, Joanne, Mark, Stephen, Andy, James, Ben... etc.

Our generation seems to be on the eternal search for the unique name...  unusual names are not unusual anymore.  

Come on... we have covered Merlin, Storm, Neon, Rocco, Gideon, ....

I think its only a matter of time before CrispPacket gets its first outing!

oh..and I like your real name Pengy!

i'm just plain julie, no middle name  my dad wanted jerry lee for my bro  my mum settled for gary lee

i know...pot kettle black eh

Is that Cilla's brother?

Indecision and disagreement in our family caused a child's name to be drawn out of a cap.
The first name out "made in Taiwan" was discarded in favour of "crimplene".

Too many pages to read all the replies lol. OP whatever name feels right for you is what you should go for. All names, whether for babies or animals have probably been used by now till new ones are invented. When the time comes you'll know what name to choose, whether the child likes it when it's older is another matter lol.

all three of mine have (what people class as) different names but thats cause I wanted to steer away from tradition & family names.

Like I said earlier, all you have to really think about if you really like them is if/when they are shortened etc.

Hey guys sorry i haven't been relying, been having migraines for about 4 days (it went for a few hours one morning but i got another!!) 

Just asked my two kids if they like their names (doc appointment with me at 10:30 so going to school late) They both do, so i haven't made a boo boo yet.

Some of the names people have mentioned (the strange ones) are cruel imo lol I mean Merlin? fgs how could anyone think a kid is going to have no trouble with a name like that? Bet they dress him up as a wizard when there's fancy dress too!!

I don't like Bailey or Riley

Dennis, Nigel, Clive, Cyril, Malcolm, Myrtle, Vera, Eileen, Olive, Ivy or Dorothy are much nicer

Btw, I hope your migraine has gone now

Thanx for all the suggestions there San, not really my cup of tea hun but ty for taking the time to post them

I thought they were very strong, manly names and pretty, feminine names

Just goes to show you have no taste.............

How did the scan go?

Very well thank you, baby waved at us as we were looking in was very cute. But it turns out I'm only 13 weeks..... which in my mind means being pregnant for 2 extra weeks.

Haven't read any of this but there are loads of names I like, some are:

Libby-Jack
Gabriella
Bailey (for a girl)

Oh there's loads and I cant think straight. But it would depend on the surname aswell, it has to have a 'ring' to it.

When I had my son I couldn't decide on a name and after 5 days I had to come up with summat so just chose one that wasn't even on my list. WIsh I had called him something else now!

If i ever had a daughter i think id call her Regina and end up shortening it Reggie. Regina means queen and i would treat her like my little queen.

boys name maybe Reegan.

oooh...  I know I said that kids don't seem to get that much stick for names these days.... but she's so gonna get called vagina at school.

Just call her Reggie....

you know i tried to convince myself that wouldnt happen but you are right lol. everytime i say the name to myself i wanna say vagina now. ha ha.
goes back to thinking of other names.
not that having a baby is gonna happen to me any time soon,
what about Lexi

one of my all time fave names.... alexandra and its shortened versions... Alex & Lexie.

I know a few Alex's & a Lexie and they are all good looking & lovely peeps!

 ditty

Actually Lexi/Alex have been talked about

Trouble we're having is we can come up with girls names we both like, but no boys (Daddy doesnt like Bailey... or anything else for that matter!) and sods law we'll have some really nice girls names no boys names and it will be a boy lol

One of the last babies I delivered when I was a midwife was a Bailey and I really liked it, it was the first time I'd heard the name ( about 8 years ago)

*My brothers name is Xander - pronounced Zander* (cant remember who posted this)

I used to work with a guy called Zane, his initals were ZXL. (Zane Xavier and I wont tell his last name just in case someone knows him!) Bliddy cool initials though!

I also like Frazer, Cameron (for a boy or a girl), Mitchell, Chloe, Jessica, Alexis, Alexander (boy or girl and would insist they were always addressed by their full name aswell), Khailum (one of the names I wished I'd called my boy), Lewis, Courtney (for a boy), Corey, Freddie, Francesca shortened to Frankie (called my cat this when I didn't have a daughter), Milly, Maisie....

Arrgghhh I want another one just to give it all those names

I wanted 'Misty' for a girl, he was a boy and we called him 'Trent'

Ohh I like Trent! And I know a Brett too.I used to like Morgan for a girl but then I got to know a girl called Morgan and we fell out and had a ruck I also know a Sheridon (love that name) and I know a Sherylin. I also know a and like the name Mali (or Marley), my son's friend is called Ethan, like that one too.

I blimmin hate my name, all of it (first, middle and surname) and keep saying I'm gonna change it but it's a bit late now

Travis and Simone  - QED

My son has a mate called Kailen

Im no good with baby names, my poor baby has got 4 forenames cos I couldnt make my mind up LOL
