Kiddies' names

Pacific,


Reading through a thread started by you, I noticed your daughter's name, Sierra, which struck me as a really beautiful name.


It got me wondering what other kids' names people liked. I have tons of girls' names which I love, and one especially that I would definitely have given to a girl if I had had another baby. So, what names does everyone like?


Mine are:


Girls
India (I would almost want another baby just to give her this name)
Belinda
Frauke (German name, which Monkey loves)


Boys
Paul
Jake
Josh


:o)

Those are sweet and I will have to work on a list of ones I have seen that I like.

But the question pops up - are you and Monkey thinking of adding any "additions" to the family? Sorry to be nosy - but I know you have been so happy with him and you glow in your picture - so had to ask!! LOL!!

Aha! THE big question! Don't think you're being nosy at all Judy!


I have a very philosophical Monkey who would rather bring up my two well than add to the world population with any of his own. It was a big issue for me at first, but as time has gone by, I have started to see his point of view, which

I think it is lucky he is so into your kids. And it is great that you have evolved to couple time and kid time. Sounds good to me!!

Tripp is such a cool name - very unusual, and a great conversation-starter for when he is older!


My DS is called Alexandre, but of course it gets shortened to Alex at school, which we didn't really want. His second name is David, after his Dad. I like keeping it in the family too. My daughter's second name is Marian, named after my mum.

I like it with an "o" as well - as in "Marion".

It's funny how we sort of instinctively know the sex of the child we are carrying. I, too, was convinced that my first baby was a boy, although I had no proof.


I remember at the crunch moment, just when the doctor was about to tell me to push (lol - sorry if this is TMI), they were preparing everything for after the baby's birth and I saw, to my great surprise, only a pink baby outift. I was really taken aback, convinced they knew the sex of the baby and had everything ready for when "she" would be born. In between those final contractions, I was thinking to myself how weird it was to be having a girl when all along I had expected a boy. When they handed the baby to me and told me it was a boy, I was really curious about those pink pyjamas, but realised that the blue ones had simply been hidden underneath.


DOH!

I'm fairly traditional with names.
