HelpRe: To my wife:
in reply to a message by glassmidnight
Then London it is.
It seems like we have similar tastes in names! A good match indeed. Or a coincidence?
For the boys, I have a few of the more androgynous names. But sometimes, just classic names is the best. What I have in mind for now include Lesley, Michael, Daniel, Lennox, or Rodney. I like Griffin and William, but I would prefer to refrain from Camden. It is just a few neighbourhoods down the lane, remember? Michael Griffin // Lennox Arden // Lesley Darien
For the girls, I like the more classic - or sometimes a bit unusual - names. For now, that includes Lavinia, Adela, Frances, or Christiana. Lavinia Adelaide // Adela Catherine // Christiana Hope
My mother is quite surprised. She was happy, of course, and she says it makes her feel grand to suddenly be promoted to grandma-to-be. She is also discussing the possibility of the child being a boy - she said she had a strange feeling it is. I cannot say I believe or disbelieve her.
Would you like to name the child after someone in your family, perhaps? My mother seems to be a bit out of the question with her more - er, odd - name. Believe it or not, they named her Billie Jean. My father might or might not be named Michael. What about your family?
(don't be surprised with Billie Jean and whatnot - Lex was a "borrowed" character from a silly little in-joke from the Lounge)

Ah, I'm not quite accustomed to London yet, having lived around Nice before we were married. It's a shame, Camden is a lovely name.
I'm not crazy about any of the boys names you mentioned, Lennox Arden being my pick for the ones listed, but I really like Adela Catherine for a girl.
I've always liked my brother Remy's name and also the name Luke. Luke is my father's name, which is where my brother Luca's name came from.
Remy William // Luke Arden // Lennox Michael // Rowan Daniel

Well, I hope you can be happier here. If you do not feel comfortable, maybe we can have a trip to the Riviera every once in a while, or even move to the continent. I agree, though. Camden is a good name.
Maybe we can consider more options. I liked Remy William and Lennox Michael, and yes, I think Adela Catherine is pretty. Maybe we should settle on that if it were a girl? And if it were a boy?
My mother is telling me a lot of things - what to do if you get nauseous, what to give for you to eat, what you should not eat, and so forth. She's that kind of woman, not that I mind.

I'm willing to say Adela Catherine for a girl. I liked Remy William, as well, but if you'd like to expand what we're looking at, I'm willing to hear it.
I'm comfortable here, just not used to England yet. Maybe if we moved to the continent at some point later on we could use Camden. My mother and my older sister have been telling me all sorts of things too. Especially old wives' tales from my mother. Coralie has sent me several pregnancy and baby name books from Quebec. I'm enjoying being pregnant...the morning sickness isn't so bad anymore. Maybe I've just gotten used to it?

Adela Catherine for a girl then. But if we name the boy Remy William, how will we call him so not to confuse him with your other Remy?
Maybe. Yes, maybe we can. No, you're not getting used to it - it does start to get better after some time. At least my mum says so. I cannot speak personally on that matter!
