[Opinions] Name dream plus a sort-of-celeb baby
I had a dream the other night that two people had a baby girl and couldn't choose between Isabella and Imelda, so they called her Ismelda (iz-MEL-da). I like it, but I think that's only because it's had time to grow on me! WDYT? I think it's too close to 'I smelled a' to be even remotely usable.Former captain of the Silver Ferns (national New Zealand netball team) Bernice Mene has recently had her second baby, a daughter, India Lily. She joins big brother Solomon. WDYT? I like India, but not Lily. I think the nns are Indy and Sol.

I'm not a fan of Ismelda, or Imelda or Isabella either for that matter.I love both India and Solomon, and they make a great sib set. love it. India Lily as a combo sounds way too sentencey for me. I don't like it.

I like India, but I've grown a bit tired of Lily. I have a little cousin named India nn Indy. Solomon is nifty to see.

I like Lily but not India. Also I like ISabella better than Imelda

Ismelda doesn't sound like "I smelled a" to me at all. I think it's kind of neat.India Lily is pretty-sounding, but not substantial enough in the right ways for my tastes. It feels flighty and now to me. I do like India and Solomon both, though.Array

i think ismelda is awful, im sorry. i really like isabella though. india lily is pretty, but only compared to some of those really out there celebrity baby names.
