Does anyone know of any good baby name sites? I dont like the ones that you have to choose the first letters to search, but prefer a list that you can look through (like in a book), if such a site exists! Also want to know the meaning of names.

yeah I find the same thing - all the sites I have seen are so cumbersome and slow, it takes ages to surf through and I always land up giving up before I even get to the end of "A"... ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

Hey Kellz I notice that you are a couple of weeks ahead of me - have you had your scan yet and did you find out what you were having? ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

| I got sick of looking at them all so pleaded for help on here and it worked for me. I think the one I went to most though was babynames.com |

try googling top 100 baby names - it will give you the most popular 100 names for each sex.. most of them we looked at and though "oh dear" lol, but might give some ideas... i still can't beleive that Elmo and Kermit were in the top 100 - surely that cannot be true!?
Depending on what types of names you want you could also try googling "international baby names" i cannot exactly remember the name of the site but there was one where they have names from all over the world, their pronunciationa dn the meaning - took us about 2 nights to get through the whole thing - with me reading out names to mike as he was watching TV, and him just going "nup, nup, nup, oh that's ok, nup, nup, nup," In the end i think i just posted on here. lol. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

Hey there Kellz,
Glad to hear that your scan went well and you are having a girl - that is very exciting! I have to wait one more day for my scan yippee - can't concentrate at work at the moment cause it's driving me nuts that I have to wait another day. Nice names that you have picked out too by the way. ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

he he Millie I was exactly teh same before the scan where we found out the sex - from about 2 weeks before I couldnt wait and the day before it was unbearable, I was so excited to find out if it was a boy or a girl!!!! Now i have another scan booked for tomorrow and its not quite as bad, I am not on teh edge of my seat, I guess cos I know what it is, but it will still be really nice to see bubs is doing well!
Good luck - are you hoping for any particular sex? ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

Hey Mrs Frantic,
Yip I am certainly not very motivated to do work today instead thinking about this scan ha ha! We are hoping for a boy as my husband has a girl from a previous relationship but I will be happy with either as long as it is healthy but it would help with the name situation by only having to choose one not two ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

I loved finding out the sex it was so exciting, it just made it so much more real to me that it wasnt an "ït" anymore! We were in a similar situation - my husband has a son from a previous relationship so we had our boy and I really wanted a boy although I think hubby woudl have liked another boy - well it just goes to show who rules the roost in my house cos I wanted a girl and it's a girl I got! ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

Although ofcourse any sex would have been great, as long as it was healthy etc - but you know what I mean! ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

That's great that you got what you wanted and like you say either sex doesn't worry me as long as it's healthy but knowing exactly what it is will make things so much easier in the long run. ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |
