Congratulations Fiona! Xxxx
Abi.

Still trialling other writers, but will eventually go back to reading a bit of Blyton! Just too many books...

Occasionally will pop in! xx

Or indeed Marco, Paul, Jemima, Laura or Connal from the 90s series :lol:. (Well, probably not Laura as that is the baby's aunt's name.)

Incidentally my dad's name is also Colin, Carlotta.

I suppose so looking at it like that, but I'm not sure how many Apples would have to be born before it became a ordinary name :lol: .

I like all the names in Enid's books as a choice (though perhaps not Moon-Face!) and there's certainly plenty to pick from. For non Blyton names I've always liked Christina, as in Flambards.

His middle name's not Michael is it, my dad's is, that would be a coincidence!
I really like Colin, its a nice pleasant name I think.

No, his middle name is David otherwise that would have been quite strange. As for Kollo...etc I have to say I'm not quite sure. It's unusual certainly, but spelling it might just give everyone a headache :lol:

Congrats, Fiona!

Reading this thread, I don't think you're gonna be short of suggestions for the names! :lol:
What about an exotic sounding Indian name eh? :D :wink: :wink:

It's Mr. Watzisname's real name so it must be a male name! :lol:

But if the baby is a girl, Fiona could always choose the feminine version of the same name, which I assume must be Kollamoolitoomarellipawkyrolla. :D
