I like it. Second name Red if you're a bit middle class, and Gray if you're a bit council.

I got 2 boys but a girl would've been Ava Rose.
It'll never happen now though unless I get a positive result from my 1st apres snip sample next month.

Called my daughter - Freya
That's also the Norwegian equivalent of Cadbury's ie household chocolate manufacturer.. although it's assimilated by Mars so a Freya bar is identical to a Mars bar.
As for Welsh names - depends if you live in Wales. They are all over the place here and everyone knows how to spell and pronounce them. Including knowing that Rhian is not pronounced like Ryan, which apparently is not known in the USA.
I have a baby first cousin once removed called Seren. It means 'star' in Welsh, but along those lines I prefer the latin Stella which was in the running for our kid's name.

Guys thanks for all the advice and suggestions, I know its all personal preference but I think there are some lovely little names in there. Just going to put number 1 son to bed and then get down to deciding!!

Our daughter is called Agnes.
If we'd had another girl instead of Arthur, then she'd have been called Edith, so that name wasn't used and is spare.

Thinking about it, something like Elsie could actually be a very practical. Think how much money she'll save when it comes to buying a private reg number.

Why don't you invite your wife over to join us on the thread?
you and her can read all the suggestions and maybe you can agree on something?
My contribution is Pia which is my daughters' name and Robyn which I really like (my friend daughter). I like Faustine but it's french and maybe it doesn't work in english.

Faustine - after that bloke who sold his soul to the devil? Nice!

My youngest is called Elsa. It was one of two or three possibles, then when we went into the maternity suite on the night she arrived, the friends of the hospital book trolley was outside the lifts and Born Free was the top book. So that was taken as a sign.
Except she's almost universally known as Beans in the family now, 'cos she's always been full of them, and my wife's favourite dolly was called baby beans.
Beans in the paper yesterday

Will be too late now, but as it hadn't been suggested across 4 pages we called our daughter Meg, tho Megan on the certificate just in case she prefers the full name when she's older.

Hm, only the Telegraph would make a big deal out of a girl choosing toy cars over dolls....

Ok!! Firstly thanks for all of you who took the time to make suggestions to try and resolve the problem for me.
So as planned I went armed with the choices from you last nigh sat my wife down and went through the ones I liked….
Then through the bumper book of baby names again and after much deliberation got well and truly no where!
In the end as my wife wasn’t happy with my choices and I wasn’t to keen on her alternative suggestions I took the advice given by a forum member –djflexure
Seriously if your wife likes something and you have no clear idea then let her decide.
The way I see it, if its what my mind associates with my daughter I will get used to and love any name given to her and a temporary thumb print on the forehead is less painful than a lifetime of ear ache!
