melbrodhi, are you sure we aren't sisters! my mum is the same. she keeps asking what names we've picked and i keep telling her we aren't saying. I ended up bluntly telling her "because we don't care for anyone else's opinion".

but nnoooo this hasn't stopped her.

Personally, I would be ditching isabella cos i just couldn't cop it. and i'm too proud and my mother would annoy the bejesus out of me with her "my name'' thing. I would start looking for another 2nd choice.

but i'd stick with ruby. bet she loves it once it's her grandchild's name!

bbrrrhhh mothers! oh hang on... we are about to enter that catergory... eeeeeekkkkk.

oh ps, my mum has listed off the names we can't have! because out surname starts with O ... so no B names "cos his initials will be BO'' OMG!!! leave me alone mother!!!

sorry for the little vent. its just super annoying hey!
