when naming our first baby, it took us 3 days of deliberation and going round the name houses before settling on Esmée. first off i'd been ridiculously sure she was a boy so had only short listed boys names. there was a list of girls names (6/7 on it) but our favourite at the time, Ingrid, just seems too angular a name for the soft round baby in my arms.
it turned out that the second name on the list was the right one for us, but it's such a momentous task i think we were a little daunted to actually sign the dotted line for a few days.
so this time i'm determined to have the name off the bat. or at least within a few hours rather than days. so now we're frantically reading baby name books, searching the internet and reviewing tv credits to see if there is anything that stands out. nada. zilch. it's even more elusive than the three day blank before. not sure if this is due to additional pressure i've put on it to be right first time, or just a general apathy for the task. as we get nearer d-day perhaps it'll come...
in the meantime any suggestions happily considered. post below.
