Freya. I just love that name. I had 4 girls but I was going to call a boy Jeremy which I liked at the time but since Jeremy Thorpe I became less enthusiastic. I like Isla too and have a great granddaughter called that. One of my grandchildren is called Emily, I like that,too. One of my grandsons is Leif. He hated it until he grew up but now he loves it.

Poppy Rose - my GD’s name

Jocelyn, was the choice for our third child, but he, was not the right sex!
Still love the name though.

Lucia Rose---one of my GGC.

Lesley---one of my D's middle name. Her dad was Leslie.

My Dad’s Christian name was Denyer, most people shorted it to Den and assumed he was a Dennis, my nephew has it as a middle name.

Jamie
and
Louise

So many pretty names, both for boys and girls. Naming babies is delicious, I remember the stacks of baby name books I had with folded pages for all the ones I liked. I gave both my sons plain names (I like simple one syllable names for boys) but if I’d had a girl I would have gone for frothy and feminine. However the boys names listed here I would have put on my list if I’d thought of them when I was pregnant!

Rosella

Louise

Rosella is a well known brand of soup over here. It is a lovely parrot, crimson and blue . This is a young one in our back yard

nanna8 where do you live? What a pretty bird, the most I get with any colour are robins!

Definitely Alexandra. I don't have daughters or granddaughters, when I suggested it for all of my DGC it was turned down in any case. DGGC perhaps?
