    Mummy Naomi - I love Bailey for a girl too...
    Great names JLeigh - are you going to find out what your having?
    I've not heard of Jarrah as a name, nice name but a little far out for us.
    Alan doesn't really sound good with w i l l o w. don't get me wrong I don't want a crazy name, just something out of the top 50, although there's nothing to say it won't make it's way up there, W * is certainly moving up the ranks, I think the reason why it's not so popular is a lot of DH's veto it, I know loads of girls who love it and wanted it but hubby's didn't like it for whatever reason. I don't think it's a strange or unusual name? so we kind of want the same for boys.
    I showed DH my list last night, he wasn't happy with any of them. He just doesn't like boys names I think. I do like Didier though, it's a lovely french name, and although not common in Australia, it's not uncommon in France, kind of like what Arimeh was saying about her swedish DS name. Gosh, why do boys names have to be so hard? we had the same delima with DD, even though we never used it we only decided a week or two out.

    Our boys have names that are popular in their country of origin too. One is Norwegian and no-one has heard of it, the other is German and isn't so unknown but not a top 50 name.
