So, time for an update. Darling Ahem! and Mrs Darling are now expecting with a due date 26th March. 1 more Canary for the big wide world. Mrs Darling apparently doesn't view: Huckerby, Holt, Farke, Drinkall or Crook as viable Christian name options, especially as it's to be a girl! And no Delia is not on the table either!

Bah!

Excellent news for Mr and Mrs Darling. If it is a girl Mr and Mrs Darling could always call it Eadie ? Would that work ?

Bah !

fantastic news pass on congrats to the Darlings
 
Honest opinions on names:

Isabelle
Isabella
Ophelia
Persephone
Pennelope
Arabella
Annabelle
Annabella (You can tell Mrs darling likes Bella!)
Imogen

Honest as you like, one is in there on Mrs Darlings wishes only! (The name would probably be Isabella already if it wasn't for the fact it has become a fixture in the top ten names for the last few years)

In considered opinions, should any be avoided in the strength of being instant bully fodder and the subsequent likelyhood of turning them into an Emo?

Bah!

It's difficult to know what to choose without knowing the surname, for instance if you share a surname with Ed Balls then Ophelia is a definite no <yikes>

They'll all make fabulous middle name options for Pukkina
 
So at 7:23 18th March Arabella Hogmany Melchett weighing in a decent 8lbs 3oz. Mum and baby both doing just fine.
Bit of late drama as we had been looking at a planned c-section after midday the 18th but someone had other ideas! 1:40 Mrs M was up, by 3 we called PAU as she was in some lower abdominal pain, sounded like UTI, they said come in as planned. But we noticed the pain was in waves, so I timed them, less than 5 mins apart! Another phone call a check, 4cm dilation and straight in for the C-section! Probably normal, but a little shock to our plans for a relaxed morning.

Bah!
