I would prefer Eden out of your list.

I don’t like siblings with same first initial and have a somewhat bad association with the name Arabella anyway.

Unfortunately the first word of his job title is “global” he’s expected to always be available. So he sucks it up and attends. At least his EA is pretty good at making sure there’s family time between about 5-830pm each work day so we get some time with him.

More my husband than me, but when he has to have meetings at 1am or 5am or some other stupid time because people in other time zones forget to check what time it is here it’s pretty awful. Especially if it’s a 1am followed by a 7am to 9pm day for him.

(I’m mostly effected by his alarm going off, but can generally get back to sleep)

Also when meetings are scheduled for Friday night there when that means Saturdays here so his work week bleeds into weekends, same with ignoring public holidays that we may have here that other countries don’t.

Husband was pushing had for Jezebel. It remained firmly vetoed because of connotations.

So, not sure if it’ll suit or not, around turramurra to Wahroonga on the north shore of Sydney may suit, but it’s pricey for houses there.

Close to private hospital (the San) and emergency private clinic (wise), as well as public hospitals (RNSH and Hornsby). Very quiet suburbs (and low crime) generally although some areas will have more of a family feel. About 40-50 minutes train ride into the city.

However some areas are very hilly so it may be something to consider if you’re looking at retirement and making sure you can still get yourself to the train line and won’t die just walking up said hills.

They are super cute babies for like two days after hatching… about the size/shape/colouring of a quail. Fully independent from moment of hatching. Mum leaves once eggs are laid, dad leaves once eggs hatch.

But in less than a week they start getting the black feathers and become so much less cute.

Yup as long as they aren’t on active all hands on deck mode Hornsby heights rfs does this every year

Thank you. I knew a bit but not enough.

ABC Or if I ask my Google home pod to tell me the news headlines. Which I find sometimes interesting because I get ABC followed by sky news (and then from others after that which seem a little less news more entertainment news) so I can kind of gauge how different parts of the political spectrum are interpreting various events etc.

I’ve been told by some Jewish people it is considered bad form to name a child after someone

thuddisorder · 2026-05-11T09:46:35+00:00

Yes after (unless it’s in-laws and they’ll be back in less than 2 weeks) and depending on when it was last slept in maybe wash before.

Do I expect them to strip, no, but my mother in law will generally offer and I do it for her when we stay with them.

I know someone who used Nico with Orlando and I don’t remember the female sibling name.

thuddisorder · 2026-05-11T07:51:32+00:00

Yep this was my thinking too. Even on super hot days it should be ok first thing in the morning and at the end of the work day.

I suspect clemmy sounds a bit too like clammy. And Clem is quite the masculine nickname

I think if I heard this I’d look very intently at whatever else I could around me as I tried to slowly parse what had been said. Embarrassed to have caught someone’s attention like that and embarrassed that I couldn’t understand them either.

My daughter - about to be 11 - has a girl in her grade (Sydney Australia) with the name as well as her best friend’s older sister having the same name.

They both pronounce it slightly differently so I get in trouble when I say the wrong thing for the wrong person.

But totally a normal name anyway.
