Hello!!

Hey Berries,
I’ve been lurking for a few months and posted regularly a couple years ago but haven’t felt the need to lately. Anyway, my aunt, [name]Christine[/name] is having a baby this tuesday and being the name nerd I am I decided to help her out by picking your brains for suggestions.

She has a two year old son called [name]Ned[/name]. [name]Ned[/name] doesn’t have a middle name and neither will the new baby as their last name is very long and clunky (it starts with a B, if that matters).

So [name]Chrissy[/name]'s first choice was [name]Esmae[/name] but she got fed up with the ‘Oh from Twilight?’ responses and decided to scratch [name]Esmae[/name].

She considered [name]Hettie[/name] and [name]Olive[/name]. I personally love [name]Olive[/name] and think it is absolutely adorable but she is on the fence. [name]Hettie[/name] is out because it rhymes too much with [name]Neddy[/name].

Now she’s thinking about [name]May[/name] (which has been one of ‘my names’ forever, aaah!!) but any other suggestions would be more than welcome.

She likes anything a bit quirky or offbeat, short, simple and not overused or popular. It would also be great if it goes well with [name]Ned[/name].

She is almost positive the baby is a girl but feel free to throw in boys names if you like.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the rambly post!

[name]Bridie[/name]

[name]Twila[/name]
[name]Hero[/name]
[name]Oona[/name]

Sansa
