I'd love to know why people chose their ohbaby names... There's some interesting ones on here!
If you are keen, post what inspired you to pick your name. I'll start: pepi is Maori for baby and bebe is French for baby. My partner is from the Caribbean where they speak French Patois and I'm part Maori. So that's me...what about YOU?! -------------   Oct 11 & Mar 12
