In Scotland you are quite often given a surname as a middle name so I don't even have a nice middle name. When I had my 2 sons I was determined to call them ordinary names they would not be embarrassed about. The name Phoebe is lovely but reminds me of my friend at primary school who thought it was pronounced Phobe (Fobe) which I always found funny.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095534555655495410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-22755474128724870272021-06-13T13:16:44.695+01:002021-06-13T13:16:44.695+01:00You could have formed an all girl singing group - ...You could have formed an all girl singing group - The Carol Singers!

My hairdresser, who is at the same time my neighbour and friend, is expecting her second child in September - a girl. Her firstborn is a boy, now three years old, named Noah. My American friend who calls herself my running buddy has named her two daughters Claire and Natalie. Claire after Clarence, a family name on her husband‘s side.<br />If I had been a boy, my parents would have named me Kai.
