2011 Australian Baby Bonus News Site.

Are you better receiving the Australian Baby Bonus or do you get a better financial result with the Paid Parental Scheme. It can be complicated, see below for details.

How is the Baby Bonus paid?

The baby bonus will be cut from $5400 to $5000 from September 2012, and frozen at that level for a further three years, until then the Baby Bonus is paid per eligible child in 13 fortnightly instalments. From 1 July 2011, customers eligible to receive Baby Bonus will get a higher first instalment of $879.77 and 12 fortnightly instalments of approximately $379.77. The higher first instalment of Baby Bonus will assist with the upfront costs of having a new child.

Question What do you think of this name...
Okay, here we go....I love the name Felix (for a boy) but my husband thinks it reminds him of Felix the cat. I love the name. I always did love the name Paris for a girl but ms Hilton ruined that one for me!

Wink It could be worse
I actually knew of some one who's last name was Marin. They called their daughter Amanda. When you say her name in full it sounded like 'mandarin'. So i think provided your last name isn't Thecat it's fine!

Names are personel to you and your husband. As long as you choose a name that the kids wont have a hard time with later in life, that is the main thing.

Good luck, and hope all goes well with the baby.

with saying you like the name paris until you discovered paris hilton, then you obviously know how previous knowledge and constant reminders can have a negitive effect on the name. so if he is in that position i would make an effort to find a mutually liked name.

Actually, Felix is good, as well as Paris. I think Paris will not be like Paris Hilton when she grows up.
