I think should I ever have a child, I will name it Belladonna.

Belladonna is a lovely name, Pansy. It would suit any child of yours well and they would be destined to do great things.

I suppose this means I have decided to have a daughter.

I believe the father of the child would object to a son named "Belladonna".

It seems that was a relatively easy decision. What else have you decided?
