Our second LO is Coraline but we call her Cora. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-back-then-vs-today#post-2376925 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 13:52:17 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2376925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's name isn't on the list, I don't think it's ever been particularly popular, but I like it. Our last name is on the list as a first name though so he'll likely have many classmates with his last name as their first name. I like a lot of these classic names, especially the female ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-back-then-vs-today#post-2376904 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 13:41:30 +0000 Smurfette 2376904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A name we are considering if #2 is a girl is. We would use a nickname and not the full name though. The full name is a family name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-back-then-vs-today#post-2376895 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 13:38:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2376895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO's name isn't on that list, but it fits the category (was a top five name in the late 1800s, is 108 now in the U.S.). And this is very much our naming style- our top name choice for baby 2 was included. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/names-back-then-vs-today#post-2376615 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 11:02:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 2376615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all know that classic names are popular right now, but I liked this list showing the date of their "prime" back in the day and where they are now. Is your LO's name on the list? </p> <p><a href="http://names.mooseroots.com/stories/5467/classic-names-making-comeback?utm_source=yahoo&#038;utm_medium=sponsored&#038;utm_campaign=ao.ss.yh.dt.5467#Intro" rel="nofollow">http://names.mooseroots.com/stories/5467/classic-names-making-comeback?utm_source=yahoo&#038;utm_medium=sponsored&#038;utm_campaign=ao.ss.yh.dt.5467#Intro</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-319619 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 16:01:33 +0000 MsMini 319619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: Tons of people paint the gulliver cribs different colours! It seems to work quite well.</p> <p>@Phillybaby2013: I got the crib tent at a local baby store that was going out of business. We have actually taken it off now though, because my cat is terrified of my baby (LOL). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-319485 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 15:02:43 +0000 Mrs. Blue 319485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been thinking about buying two of these because it says it is solid beech, and I'm hoping I could paint it whatever color I want! Also, since we're buying two cribs, the price just can't be beat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-318372 Mon, 01 Oct 2012 01:51:01 +0000 looch 318372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the IKEA gulliver too and it is perfect for our needs. I wasn't in the market for a convertible crib, so we were looking to spend as little as possible to get a plain crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317124 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 21:42:46 +0000 Phillybaby2013 317124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to thread jack but @MsMini where did u get the tent? I'm afraid my kitty will lay in the crib but haven't seen much besides the pack and play type nets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317107 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 21:14:33 +0000 MsMini 317107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cvbee: Thanks! I keep posting pics here and there, there wasn't a photo posting option before, so I never did a reveal! It is actually more decorated now (some more art on walls, a bookcase, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317101 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 20:58:38 +0000 cvbee 317101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: holy: how did I miss pics of your nursery before this?!

Yep, regular sheets fit, we do have an ikea crib mattress though (the thickest memory foam one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-gulliver-crib#post-317018 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 18:05:34 +0000 photojane 317018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I heard that too. I looked at dimensions on the ikea site, and it looks like a normal mattress would fit. It has the same measurements. </p>
