    Didn't some Foxtel guy give his son Danger as a middle name? I love it - so cute!

    Off topic - but my girlfriend got a new dog and has named it Cuba - which is our boy name! I was devastated because it is so unique, everyone will thing I named him after her dog!

    One of my best friends is currently pregnant with a boy and her and her DH are seriously considering the name Cash after Johnny Cash (the country and western singer) who her DH just loves. I dont personally love it but it really suits them as a family.

    My BIL and SIL were going to call their child Vadar/Veda after Darth Vadar if it was a girl. Thank goodness it was a boy is all I will say!

    As for us, for a while the middle name of Richie has been considered both last pregancy and this one after DH;s fave guitartist Richie Sambora. It hasnt been ruled out of contention cause I think it is quite a cute name.

    Oh and BTW I think Jade Devin sounds really nice.

    i lurve jade devin! it sounds so powerful and devine all at once. especially with your DPs last name.

    i remember a few years ago JJJ was doing a name thing and they went through the strange but true names around the world. one boy was called 'rogan josh' after his mums fav curry; a girl was named 'Australia' as she was born on australia day; and the best was a kid named "anon" after the 'famous' poet LOL!!!!!!!!! what a scream!

    when we named our DD Leila we loads of eric clapton comments . so didnt think of that!

    I know a little dude called Neo, like the Matrix character.
    I named my bike Layla after the Eric Clapton song (we have 9 bikes inthis house, and it's easier to keep track if they all have names)
    Since we are not Brisbane long-termers we have thought about using a middle name that reflects this wacky town - not sure what yet though.
    And who is it -some Aussie C-grade celeb- that has a kid called Jagger?
    My dad wanted to name me Kelly after one of the Charlie's Angels at the time. My surname was even the same. I would have been OK with that.
    Plenty of people were named Shirley after Shirley Temple, back in the day....

    Go For It!

    When I was working, I knew a stack of girls named Shania after Shania Twain. Hmmm....
