Saffron Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 We're looking to add another middle name to Little Saff's name (long story). We won't bother ammending the birth cert, and you don't have to have a deed poll in the UK (as confirmed by the Southwark Register who said names can be leagally changed through usage in this country). Sooo, we're simply going to add the additional middle name when we apply for passports.I want a girl's name to start with H or B. This will sit phonetically well with the rest of her name. It's no holds barred on style or origin. Unusual names welcome.So far I have Beatrix (Latin), Berwyn (Celtic/Old English), and Halima (Swahili - DH spent time in Tanzania/Zanzibar)Any more B's or H's anyone???

bluesuperted Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 But she's so awful in Harry Potter!!! Why I love the name Iago or Jago but could never use it - couldn't bear my child to have such an evil literary twin!

bluesuperted Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 On H and B note, I like:Hermione (yup Potter fan)HermiaHero (mild Shakespeare theme emerging!)Halina (variant of Halima, my friend called this is Polish)HettieBelle (but depends on first name)Bunty (don't think I'd use it but I find it really sweet)Bonnie (ditto)Funnily enough I don't think any H or B names feature on my lists!

simonethebeaver Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I love, love, love Hero but MrBeaver said a firm no. I was a bit relieved though as Myleene Klass used it shortly before my daughter was born and then I'd have had to decide whether to look like I was copying her!I also have an Edith and am interested to hear how many are out there. It's still pretty uncommon on a national level so there must be a local concentration.Our other names (mostly nixed by the other half) were:LaurieAureliaDorotheaHelenaElsieClemencyMargaretClaudia Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/25449-girls-names-help/page/3/#findComment-577073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs_Glennie Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yes, Edith wasn't in the recent top 100 girls names, although all the other names used by my NCT group were!When introducing my Edith/Edie to someone locally they asked if I'd named her after E.D. ie. East Dulwich!!!!For H and B names, I like:BellaBettyBeatriceBonnieHattieHarper (was one of our top names until VBeckham poached it!)Hollysimonethebeaver Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> I love, love, love Hero but MrBeaver said a firm> no.

simonethebeaver Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I love the idea of naming her after East Dulwich! And I noticed too that it was the only NCT name not in the top 100. I bet it'll get there soon.Our Edith is more often Edith than Edie though. It suits her more.I love Hester.
