Sue, congrats to brother in law & wife, hope they are all ok, and over the shock of not getting a baby girl !! hope that doesn't happen here too, can't go through all this again with another girls name, will make them pick a unisex name now, lol. Jx

Jane - Milo is cute!!!! My favourite girl's names are even more unusual (i.e. Dalia).... It's nice to have meaning behind a name in my opinion. I'm the only out of the 3 siblings to have been named for a reason: Rebecca - After Becky Sharpe in 'Vanity Fair', my Mum's all-time favourite literary Heroine. Elanor - Samwise Gamgee's first born in 'Lord of the Rings', my Dad's favourite book.
