Have I mentioned lately how much I love names for little girls? All you have to do is tell me a charming name and for the next week I'll go around wanting another daughter just so I can give her that name. Just so I can say, "Alice! It's time to practice your trombone, darling!", or, "Eloise! Mummy would like more chilled grapes."
Anyway, Alice and Eloise were on a shortlist for a friend of mine who had a baby girl. Then she ended up naming her Beatrice. So that made three more babies I wanted to have.
My neighbor across the street is presently expecting a baby girl. She is going with Nora Jane. Or Norajane. She can't decide.
Make that four for me.
And two of my sweet sisters are currently expecting. One is having a boy, and she has settled upon James. Brilliant. But my sister who is having a girl (her fourth!) cannot seem to make up her mind.
Dear reader, I have plied her with names. I have simply ladled them upon her by the metric tonne. But she is still undecided. Even when I said Charlotte. Even when I said Lucy.
(Oh dear, what am I at now, like, about a hundred??)
Feel free to chime in with your suggestions, dear reader. It may be that you only end up adding to my list, but then again one never knows...

p.s. Just a reminder there is a Tollipop giveaway still going on. Please leave a comment here if you'd like to play along and I will draw and announce the winner on Monday.
I also wanted to thank Gina for her kind mention of my blog on Rich Inner Life. I have never been quoted before...what a lovely feeling!
And now I wish you a wonderful weekend. I hope you find time for a walk or perhaps even a bike ride. I hope someone reads you a story. I hope someone reads me a story. And I hope we will all have at least one delicious thing to eat.
