Please call it a nice name. A quaker name, perhaps.

Grace, Faith, Hope, Joy, etc.

I am not a quaker, but have always thought them to be really nice. Please do not lumber it with a ridiculously silly name like "Sky" or "Tracey".

Obviously I have worked entirely to the assumption that it is going to be a girl. No idea why.

Ooh, valid point, Katherine... Welsh names are bloody good names.

Go for Welsh - sod the quaker thing.

They are quite nice names actually. I like the poshy sounding ones like Harriet and Saffron; Charlotte's quite nice, as is Katherine actually.

Saffron? :?

I know people named of the others, but never anyone called Saffron. It sounds like a type of spice used in oriental dishes.

But please, whatever you do don't name your child after the place where you did it (be it Brooklyn, Paris, Manchester, London or whatever street you live in) or by some stupidly random name like Blanket.

They will probably live to regret it!

Hmmm, within reason. Of course there's always Myfanwy and Dafydd.

My parents, bless them, gave me a Welsh middle name out of a 1930s film about depression, poverty and disaster. I think I'm named after the sick kid that died.

Saffron?! Think Saffy in Absolutely Fabulous - she wasn't christened that. Although that character has slightly marred the name, and I admit it is a bit *too* posh really. And it wouldn't go with my name.

I've quite like the nake Daria. I only know that name from the tv show of course, but i like it. I quite like J names for girls.

For a guy, an S name, quite vague I know, but S...

Not keen on that name. As Beavis and Butthead often said to Daria . . .
Diahorrea, cha cha cha, diahorrea, cha cha cha!
In case you didn't already know, "Daria" was a "Beavis and Butthead" spin off series . . .

Fred seems to be a popular name for boys at the moment, for some bizzare reason.
