Stupid.
Loving Peas and Beans!
Our 4 year old is called Lottie, she can be Charlotte when she's older if she likes.
She met another little girl in the playground a while back. I asked said girl what her name was;
"Constance"
"That's a nice name"
"My Dad calls me Connie"
"Does he call you Conkers as well?"
"Yes, sometimes he calls me Bonkers Conkers too"
Cracked me up, Constance FTW!
I quite like longer names that can be shortened in different ways. Gives 'em a chance to pick something they like later. Eg, Josephine = Jo, Josie; Nicola = Nic, Nikki etc.
cougar raises a good point,
Had to happen eventually. (-:
Wait and see what she looks like!

Imagine them working in a job in their mid 30's, say a vet or an accountant or something.
If you've ever done interview scanning of applications you will look at a name and make a preconceived judgments.

Short for Kate?POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST
🙂 Anyway 'Bob'
We have an Evie Grace and an Isabelle (Izzi) Cara
Molly
Loving the suggestions so far - keep em coming!!
Great thread thanks guys 🙂
We asked our then 4 year old son what his little sister should be called;
Barbie Diana
Was his choice.
She's called Saffron.
We asked our 3 yr old daughter what her brother should be called:
1:Blind
2:Bag
3:Milky
Not Annabel or Isobel. 50% of all girls born since 2008 have one of those two names.
I would go for one of:
Bianchi
Urtacaria
Bono
Kujo
Gogglebox
Spitzbergen
Grapefruit
Scrit
Beans was in the Telegraph a few months ago. She got the skateboard she wanted, and she can ride it too....

Polly Peas is a proper girly girl though
Ooooh, it's always difficult! I didn't want my kids to have 'popular' names, nor weirdo ones, so they've both ended up with Scottish names. 8)
Actually, when daughter was born I changed my mind and happy that I did.
I would go for one of:
I took you seriously for at least half of that post. Grr.
Regional names are always a good bet. As long as it's not Myfanwy, if you ever plan to conduct business otuside Wales.
I took you seriously for at least half of that post.
As far as Bono? Do you know what urticaria is
Actually.. hmm.. are there any other bike related names that could pass for girl's names?
I used to know someone called Hope.
Amelia
Bethan
Selle Italia
Pashley you could get away with, not particularly cool bike brand though.
"Plissken." Psshaw.
Thank you
BTW - have we had Jill yet?
We were going for Gwen. But when she arrived she ended up as Layla.
Andrea
Plus we've got Gwen.
we'd settled on Macy, but she arrived with balls and stuff so we called her Eden instead..
Our first would have been called Smiley Facedon if my eldest niece had gotten her way.. 😀
Patsy
Nigella
Jordan
Britney
Chantelle
Chelsie
Candice
Stacey
😆
Neighbours' granddaughters are Cadence and Rogue (not Rouge), i' m not sure the mother really knows what they mean.
For a test to see if your name will ruin your child's life chances, put the letters QC after any full name you choose. If it sounds ridiculous, your condemning her to life as a McDonalds drivethrough operator 😆
Do you know what urticaria is
Not without googling. Now I do. (-:
I used to know someone called Hope.
Did they spring eternal?
Layla
She's going to be fielding chatup lines of "would you like me on my knees?" for the rest of her natural.
Mrs King and I are expecting our first in October. We both like the name Cerys for a girl and maybe Cameron for a boy, so far...
Dad where did my name come from?
STW,honey.
You mean you let that bunch of saddos choose my name...aaargh I hate you! I want my trust fund and I want it now...!
She's going to be fielding chatup lines of "would you like me on my knees?" for the rest of her natural.
not so.. because no-one under 30 could have any possible reason to listen to that tosh..
do you listen to Max Bygraves..?
NO
We were holding out for Megatron for my friend's first son. It's no more or less appropriate for a daughter though.

You underestimate children. Moreover, children have parents.
You underestimate children
you overestimate Clapton
No, I got some cream and it cleared up.
Rogue
Just about possible a parent is an X-men fan?
I've just remembered there was a baby born to a couple of BBC Leeds breakfast listeners a while back (used to listen to it when I was commuting to Leeds every day). They called her Trinity Grace. Anyone guess where in W Yorks Mum & Dad lived?
Andy
the wife doesn't want anything where there is likely to be loads of them in the playground with the same name so something usual without being strange our son is called phoenix if that helps
we are also in Wales (but she doesn't want a welsh name) but she was disappointed to find that her oldest s sons name James is pronounced jams with a welsh accent. she also doesn't want anything that can be shortened
not to much then lol
lauryn
Friend of mine is a huge Leeds fan so called his first daughter Ellen. Wife didn't pick up on it luckily as she agreed to call the first-born son Ralf Mika after the F1 drivers on the understanding that was the end of sporting links.
Stick to standard names IMO and give child a crazy middle name.
Calling bullshit on that hora. I have two unusual names and the only one I got ripped for at school was my middle name. If you're going to pick a different name, put it right out there, don't hide it.
I've always liked the name Hannah - if we'd had a daughter instead of 2 boys that's the name we would have gone for.
I know a couple of people called Ailsa, it's not too common and most folk call them Ailie.
