ME names for girls - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Congratulations!

My wife would not allow any ME names for our children. Also, never thinking that I would have a daughter (they don't run in the family and my first was male), I'd given the dog my first choice for a girl's name. With two subsequent daughters, various attempts to change the dog's name were met with cold stares, especially from the mother-in-law.

I also suggested Xena, but no one thought that was a good choice either...sigh.

Anyway, think about (or, via ultrasound, look at) the new child, or the circumstances under which she will be born and work from there. If your first's disposition is pleasant, then you might want to work in a 'mor' as my experience has been that each successive child is the opposite of the proceeding one.

And 18 years from now, just who is going to remember that 'Eowyn' was a movie name anyway...

Cheers!
