Mini, I’ve always loved the name Heidi, but was never allowed to use it on my girls. We had a family vote for our last child, in case it was a girl. (My wife always wanted to call our baby “Kelsey” if it was a boy, as in Kelsey Grammer, but now all the girls are pinching it!)
The name that won was Yvette, followed closely by Maeve and Freya which I like, but my Heidi lost out.
Anyway we had a son! and his name is Kelsey.
Just a bit of trivia.
Best Wishes ozirogue!
Regards
Jim

PS We now have a famale border collie, and they let me call it Heidi!

Ikes – sprogs appearing everywhere !! []

Love Charly – very cute, no second name of Angel allowed though!!

Hmm, if it’s a boy …… my votes are Spencer, Bryon, Giovanni and Angus ….

Hi Aussierouge

1. indigo
2. astrid
3. Zoe
4. molly
5. samantha
6. hannah

I think they are all lovely names, having just given birth 6 weeks ago… I have been through the whole name thing over and over and over… I have a beautiful baby girl Alyssa Jordyn, so my advice is probably what you’ve heard lots of times…

1. make sure that you can’t make a word out of her initials eg: Fran Ashley Thomas – ‘cause the whole FAT thing isn’t very flattering, also make sure your last name and the first initial don’t make a word… poor Peter Eanus.
2. make sure her name doesn’t rhyme with anything, we loved the name Hunter for our son, but just couldn’t bear the thought of the taunting on that one
3. finally when your little angel is born, you’re just going to look at her and know – you’ll know what her name is, we ummed and arrrh’d between Alyssa and Alexandra, but when she was born it was easy – let me rephrase that – (it hurt like the clappers)… when she was born – she just was… Alyssa.

Good Luck and have fun (oh, and cherish these last few quite, peaceful nights!)

Hey aussierogue,

I’m reminded of this Simpsons episode where Homer was trying to think of a name for Bart, and said something quite wise – does it rhyme with any rude or nasty words? Because that’s what the kids at school will call them. Pity he couldn’t figure out what rhymes with Bart.

So here goes:

Hannah banana
Molly the wally

I can’t think of any bad nicknames for the others.

I personally like Samantha.

The thing about picking uncommon names is that they’ll be oblivious to it until they get into junior high, and then they’ll hate you for giving it to them until at least after they finish high school (sometimes later).

Cheers

Hi Guys

Hi Housesitter

Yeah it is Maori(notice the spelling) Probably will get shortened to K.
She named her first child Te Manuiti who is now 8 which means little bird. Now commonly called T.
You just can’t tell mothers anything.

Hey one to go for the century. Not often a Kiwi scores a hundred in Australia.

1-Hannah 9
2-Zoe 9
3-Samantha 8
4-Molly 7
5-indigo 5
6-Astrid 4

Sorry if i offended anybody with this, good luck

P.S. Congratulations all the same!

Hi aussierougue,

So exciting!
As a midwife I get to hear some pretty interesting names, like Jinx and Summer Bee (girls names).
I’ve been elated when as an undergraduate midwife, one of my ladies, asked if she could use my name for her daughter… [8D][8D] Awesome.

I truly believe the name will come to you, when you hold your daughter in your arms and look at her. Might take a couple of peeks at her to finally settle on one though.

All the names you picked are great…my fav’s are Samantha and Zoe.

Wishing your wife an easy birth and wishing you fortitude! []

Cheers
