God I am still working my way through these and you sent me them ages ago :laff: :laff: :laff:

I think we have decided just to call the baby "baby" its much easier :laff: :laff: :laff:

[shamu]

Don't worry hun - I have had them an age and only just starting to get through them too :oops: And still no nearer the "perfect" name....

Well, we nearly were then Katkinn may have nicked it - good job I'm going to drop before her :lol:

I have gone through some and highlighted the names I like so when I go back I can have another look at what caught my eye and hopefully it will help narrow it down... or make it worse :doh:

really??!!! oooh pm me what it is and I may promise not to :wik: (convinced that I'm having a boy anyway so 99% sure that it'll be irrelevant!)

mmm there are some choice names on those lists aren't there :shock: :sick: :laff:

To be honest, I think that 50% of them are only on there as people can't spell :laff: :roll:

I am going to PM you. Not pregnant right now obviously would be interested to see it!

May have to keep you in suspenders chick!!!! But it's SOOOO ironic as I had a long discussion with friends yesterday afternoon, agreed that DH's fave name was actually quite nice and then came back to find "that" thread mentioning it :shock: So now I'll feel really guilty if I "steal" your name aaaaaaaarrrrgggggggghhhhhhh :doh: But it's about the only one I like enough :huh:

So with you on the spelling thing! I was surprsised to find Phoebe at number 1659 or something then realised it was being spelt Pheobe :doh: And don't get me started on Emili........

The spelling things a bit annoying really as it skews things - there are names which seem reasonable rare until you take into consideration the ninety-two different ways people have of spelling them!

Some good ideas on there though - and some freaky ones! (Lois sent it me in case you were wondering where I'd sprung it from!)

I've loved Phoebe for years and it was what we would have called a girl, I must confess to spelling it incorrectly so many times :o you'll be glad to know though that I wrote it repeatedly 500 times so I would never get it wrong again!

Just flipping typical I'm having a boy and dh and I disagree on every name!

[Chocolate Lips]

I cant believe that Princess can be No 684 on the list! Who calls their little girl Princess or that Baby is even on the list!!

(ok, I do, but only as a nickname as in 'Mummys Little Princess')

ETA: A lot of them sound like Page 3 girls, you know where they always substitute letters in names to make the spellings more interesting like Jessika, Libbi, Charlee - sorry no offence to anyone intended. Just an observation.

Agree with you on the spelling thing - when I first got my BFP I thought of Lily, but have since realised it's in the top 20. If you add in all the weird and wonderful ways of spelling it (Lili, Lilly, Lilli, and all the hyphenated variations Lily-Rose etc) it must be nearly no 1 :shock: And there are some VERY dubious ones too :D

SEE I knew it would be OK to call it baby, its on the list so it must be ok :wik: :wik:

I was laughing at some of the spellings too although I can't talk :oops: I only spelt Kenidee's name like I did so it looked like a girls name not a surname and I was 18 and thought it looked funky

I was laughing at the different spellings for Rihana, they are mainly 'Rhi' not 'Rih' as it is meant to be spelt (this is on my short list) so its actually really low down on the list with the correct spelling
