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

Mrs_Glennie

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!)

Holly

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.

      MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.

      The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
