    That is random. I wouldn't change my names though. The names we choose for DS (both first & middle) are names used by coworkers of mine. DD's first name is also the name of my bosses daughter. All were choosen since I've been working here although DS's first name was a random chance as I didn't realise one co-worker had a DS with that name as she works from home & hadn't socialised with her at all.

    I think there comes a time when you have to draw the line on where to stop worrying about having the same name as others around you. I understand if its family or good friends, then that's a good reason to discuss a name change, however, if its as removed as a work environment with people you aren't social with outside of work, then I'd go with what you have picked. You and your baby need to live with the name you choose for the rest of your lives. Chances are, you won't be in touch with these people for a lifetime. That's just my opinion anyway.

    Depends on the name... if it's Jack and Isabella, then I'm really not surprised. If it's Hildegarde and Roger, then, yeah, completely random.

    I reckon anything top 20 is fair game. Maybe even top 50.

    The names are James (which is fair enough) and Lara. I can understand one name but both?? We were both blown away lol!

    I think we will just stick at it. I'm finding out what it is start of Jan anyway so at least i can work from there!

    At least they are a likeable couple!
