3 weeks to go and I still haven't decided on a name. I'm looking for traditional English or Scottish names. Cheers everyone!

The Victorians were keen on calling their daughters after flowers (I think), or name such as Hope or Faith

We didn't pick our ds's names until after they were born as I couldn't decide. Eventually went for 2 names that weren't on our list at all!

Hope this helps.

Just seen the link title! Blush, so ignore the bit about girls!

What about Robert or Bruce?
