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!)

    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
    • Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an  excellent job.
