What's in a name?

OOOh, I know what you're reading - I love those books!!! If I was going to have any more children, which I'm not (too old, too tired, can't be done anyway ?), I'd have had Ayla - maybe I'll suggest it when I have grandchildren ?

Apparently I'm not allowed to call any girl children Arya.

Though several of H's name choices are picked from computer games, so I don't think he can complain too much.

They are brilliant books, I've just finished my second time reading them all. Last book very disappointing though.

I took S for a settling in session at her nursery this morning and there was a little boy called Denis. Bless.

I think that's really cute!

Very!!

WHAT?!?!!? ?

ETA: oh god, now people will think that's where I got my Ted's name from. Harrumph. Not bloody likely. His name was actually inspired by a book my grandparents gave me when I was 4 and I've hung onto to this day because it's just so lovely:

That IS unfortunate!

I'm sure they won't, though. Not anyone that knows you, anyway! Ha!

I've read all of the 50 shades books and I'd totally forgotten about the name. I wouldn't have made the association if that makes you feel any better!

This. I'd forgotten all about the kid!

H vetoed Eddard as a possibility for Jacob. I'm not sure if I'd have gone through with it even if allowed, but it would have been cool.

I'm another with the initials BJ! And when I marry OH I'll be BMW.

Theres a lot of us about it seems !!

If I take my oh's surname when I get married, my initials will be OW.

My initials are AA All I heard through school was alcoholics anonymous and car insurance ?
So can't wait to get OH's surname!

Oh I am disappointed a 100+ comment thread I was expecting some drama ?

Oi, we can play nice every now and then Mr!

Yeah how dare you think we can't play nice I'm well offended! *flounces*

(...will that do?)

?

Ha! DCM don't let that bitter funky one upset you!

Isnt this the part where you're meant to stick a hun in there somewhere ?

Bit late to the party here but I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread! I know someone called Alphonse Capone. In fact, Al Capone came to my wedding. I also know someone who had triplets in her class at school called Becky, Lecky and Alan. I have also known a Jo King.

I like traditional names, Isabel, Ava, Esme for girls, and recently I discovered Elodie which I think is lovely. Boys names I find much harder but I do like Matthew, James, Daniel and rather daringly for me, Zachary.
