Carrie has given birth to a little girl

Clementine it is then.
Shall we tell them? Or just take bets?

WWM2, I don't think you can lose respect for a person you never respected in the first place ?

I was thinking suggestions and bets'd be fun.

I suggested Clementine first so bags I Clementine (Clemmie for short).

Gertrude as a second choice.
Jemima

It's fallen out of favour but is it time for a comeback?

We called our first three hens Saffie (Saffron; she had yellow legs), Grisel, and Violet so I'm chucking them into the hat. Then there was Morag, Florence and Goldie.

Oh! and Heidi the goose.

Ethel goes well with Wilf.

It does!

Josianne

Ethel goes well with Wilf.

My Mum's siblings

I think the Cameron's have a DD called Florence

No apostrophe, thank you, autocorrect

Some BRILLIANT news to share‼️

I reported my own post to GNHQ and asked whether they would consider separating the News threads from the Politics ones and Lily has just replied to say they are going to do so.

I’m really pleased! I think many of us will be too. ?

Thank you GNHQ!

Now can you get the Games put as a separate tab at the top? This is a discussion forum and Games are entirely something else. They have a tab for Menopause and also Coronavirus, why not Games? Hope you can work your magic there ?

I was also thinking of Holly but the singer of Frankie Goes to Hollywood is Holly Johnson so maybe not!

Lottie ... after Boris' mum who died recently. Has a Germanic ring to it.

Comes from Charlotte, definite French ring to it.

Carol. You never hear of small Carols nowadays.

Riverwalk I assume all posters have previously welcomed lovely babies born to mothers on benefits and those in poorer countries, and not expressed worry about the world's population.
Spot on Riverwalk. This would have been a lovely thread welcoming a little girl into the world, but the usual suspects have hi-jacked it to bash Boris, as if they don't have enough threads for that purpose. Some of these threads are like a barnyard full of clucking hens who hate Boris.

Sophia ? I'm thinking Greek/ Turkish where Boris's roots are.

Well said Chestnut.
My vote is for Rosie or Felicity. If I’d had a daughter I wanted to call her Felicity.

But its not just any baby being born is it otherwise we wouldn't be talking about it.So it is political - father politician, mother would be politician or influencer. I wonder if they'll keep a copy of the daily papers on the day she was born?

A new baby! Oh that is good news. A sister for Wilfred, a pigeon pair. I'm guessing Anna for baby Johnson, but I expect I'm wrong! Separating News from Politics? Oh that will be good - looking forward to it already.

Yes, it is just a new little life brought into the world.
She didn't choose her parents.

Actually, I think I'll choose Mabel.

I do wish that little girl a great journey in this world- but oh my, it's not going to be easy.

I don't see why. She will never remember a time when her father was PM. She is born into a well to do family and I'm sure she will be well looked after.

Many children face much worse than this little one. Any new life is a joy.

Can someone please explain why it's necessary to have a thread about this subject? I've never understood why hundreds of people take to their keyboards to congratulate someone that they don't know and who is almost certainly not going to read the comments.
Surely such a topic would be better off in Chat?
