I've not got much to say about it except it was an interesting read and so were many of the comments so just thought I would share it image

    DD is coming up to 2 years and 7 months and I still analyse my feeling about her name even now. I'm not sure you ever stop really. Have to say, I do still love it!



    When we had her birth registered I did have a period where I thought, have we done the right thing? But I know we did x

    G/C but hubby and I stressed about names for the whole 9 months I was pregnant. We couldn't agree on any boys names and the two girls names we both liked went out of the window at 40+3 when I had a complete meltdown and decided I hated them. We ended up writing a list of girls names that we both quite liked and had our own names for a boy, with me secretly hoping that hubby would take pity on me after going through labour and let me have my choice! We had a girl, and when I looked at her a name that we had both liked, but discounted at the beginning jumped out at me as her name. She is 7 months now and we absolutely made the right decision. She is a Phoebe through and through! x

    DD1 was always going to be Jessica from before she was even conceived and I still love her name. Grace was going to be charlotte until about a week before she arrived when DH convinced me he liked Grace. I came round to the idea but then when I was in labour he said he preferred Charlotte again! We eneded up tossing a coin to decide! Sometimes I do wonder if it suits her (she's quite rough and tumble and not exactly "graceful"!) but I do love the name and the way the 2 girls names sound together. Plus we call her G-bobs because she was such a hungry baby she was always bobbing her head to work her way down to my boob and that really suits her!!! I can't imagine eitehr of them being called anything else as I think the name sort of shapes to the child.
