Hi all,

We think we have FINALLY decided on a possible boys name (hurrah!):

Miles Alexander ********

The only problem is that our surname is the same as a very large city in Queensland and I am worried that having a measure of distance plus a geographical location might be a bit strange.

Thoughts?

I was just about to add this.

I personally think it is a bit too geographical. Sorry.
Although, depending on just how well known the surname city is, you could probably get away with it if you live in another state. If you're living here in QLD it's probably not a good idea. Sorry sad.gif
