I think we did quite well with Arthur - we were looking for something strong and old fashioned that there wouldn't be too many of when he got to school. My sister in law said "but it's not very suitable for a little baby, is it?" (and he is going to be a little baby for what proportion of his life?) my elderly neighbour said "it's not a very easy name for a small child to pronounce" (that really made me laugh, her name is Dorothy!) Ah well it's good with old ladies they always seem to have had a brother or husband of that name, then comes the pat on the head and the pound coin... Of course inevitably he has a castles/knights fixation at the moment and thinks he is King Arthur! For the next one, if a girl, I have a yen for Alfhild. Don't know why. Have checked the electoral register via www.yournotme.com, there are actually two others of voting age in Britain! Just need to know what it means now!
