We've just had a little boy. I think we had three boys names we liked and about 20 girls names, here are a few off the list:


Sigrid

Greta (recently met a Margaret in the playground and thought that was quite cute!)

Clementine

Maple

Audrey

Elsa

Antonia

Martha

Flora

Alma

Matilda

Svea


Am secretly hoping we'll have another girl just so that I can use a few of the names on the list!

We're looking to add another middle name to Little Saff's name (long story). We won't bother ammending the birth cert, and you don't have to have a deed poll in the UK (as confirmed by the Southwark Register who said names can be leagally changed through usage in this country). Sooo, we're simply going to add the additional middle name when we apply for passports.


I want a girl's name to start with H or B. This will sit phonetically well with the rest of her name. It's no holds barred on style or origin. Unusual names welcome.


So far I have Beatrix (Latin), Berwyn (Celtic/Old English), and Halima (Swahili - DH spent time in Tanzania/Zanzibar)


Any more B's or H's anyone???

On H and B note, I like:


Hermione (yup Potter fan)


Hermia


Hero (mild Shakespeare theme emerging!)


Halina (variant of Halima, my friend called this is Polish)


Hettie


Belle (but depends on first name)


Bunty (don't think I'd use it but I find it really sweet)


Bonnie (ditto)


Funnily enough I don't think any H or B names feature on my lists!

I love, love, love Hero but MrBeaver said a firm no. I was a bit relieved though as Myleene Klass used it shortly before my daughter was born and then I'd have had to decide whether to look like I was copying her!


I also have an Edith and am interested to hear how many are out there. It's still pretty uncommon on a national level so there must be a local concentration.


Our other names (mostly nixed by the other half) were:


Laurie

Aurelia

Dorothea

Helena

Elsie

Clemency

Margaret

Claudia

Ooh, a second wind for this thread! Lovely! So for Saffron, here are some H and B middle name suggestions from my long list, as I reckon I now seriously owe the forum for all the suggestions above:


Bay

Blossom

Betty / Betsy / Betsie

Bonnie

Holland

Harper

Harmony

Honor / Honour

Harriet

Hattie

Honey

Yes, Edith wasn't in the recent top 100 girls names, although all the other names used by my NCT group were!


When introducing my Edith/Edie to someone locally they asked if I'd named her after E.D. ie. East Dulwich!!!!


For H and B names, I like:


Bella

Betty

Beatrice

Bonnie

Hattie

Harper (was one of our top names until VBeckham poached it!)

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
