I caved to my husband on our first daughter's name, then we had two sons. But if we'd had a second daughter, she was absolutely going to be Charlotte. (Bonus – My grandma's name was Charlotte.

And for another friend I did a Moomin shower (was incredibly fortunate that a friend had recently visited Finland and picked up decorations and paper goods for me) and had a momma and poppa quote from the book, which I can't now remember. It was fun going through the books, looking for the perfect quotes. >Me being WEB, my cake had a web design on which Charlotte had written "Oh you kid."
