Finally got to name a baby!

After at least a decade of regularly cruising names on Nameberry, and a lifetime of logging, categorising, and ordering baby names into meticulous lists in my mind, my husband and I welcomed a little boy we had the privilege of naming:

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Casper[/name_m] [name_m]Robert[/name_m] [name_m]Bruce[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

He was expected to arrive on Halloween so the name [name_m]Casper[/name_m] started as a bit of a joke that ended up sticking, he’s being called [name_m]Cap[/name_m] and [name_m]Cappy[/name_m] for short at this stage and he’s an absolute gem. [name_m]Robert[/name_m] and [name_m]Bruce[/name_m] are for Grandad and Great-Grandad respectively. [name_f][/name_f] Actually naming a real life baby has been an utter joy and I cant wait to do it again!
