    I had my girls name picked from the moment I found out I was pregnant. So, not really...

    And by the way, yep it is just that easy ;). Is it your first child? Your wife could be in labour for hours and hours... so just tell her to ring you as soon as she gets the first twinges!

    I have 2 boys, Dylan and Conor, and was thinking Aidan for a boy but have come up with Chelsy for a girl. What do you all think of Chelsy/Chelsea?

    Laoise, emmm thats nice.

    Please dont call your child Qaoimhe or Queeva. Its Caoimhe, its not hard to spell or pronounce. We got a card after our daughter was born with Queeva written on it, shocking!

    Caoimhinn is the boys version of Caoimhe, the irish of Kevin. Its pronounced kee-veen or caoimhainn is que-vawn.

    Thats my god daughters name and they pronounce it Kay-lynne.

    As I dont speak Irish I dont have a clue about how to pronouce Irish names.

    If I ever am lucky to have a little girl, she will be called Delia-Pearl.
    Delia after this wonderful old lady who lived beside us as kids and was so loving and kind to us, Pearl because my engagement ring is a 1920's Cartier diamond and Pearl ring and the word Pearl reminds me of the wonderful love and support of my amazing husband.... Sad or what!!!
