Re: Baby Names!!
I don't personally have any children, but there's a nice tradition in my family that girl children are named after Scottish islands - that's how I got my own first name - Shona - and how other women in my family got the first names Morven, Iona and Skye.....cute, isn't it?
My parents always joke that I should count myself lucky I wasn't named "Muck" or "Egg", as these are also names of Scottish islands, lol!
Personally I like old-fashioned, Victorian sounding names for girls - Emily, Victoria, Elizabeth, Amelia, Lucy - and traditional Scottish names for boys - Douglas, Cameron, Donald, Kieran, Connor, Euan, Gordon.
I also particularly love the italian "Chiara" as a name for a little girl - it means "bright", "clear" or "shiny" - how cute!
