Baby number 2 is due in September and we already have a DD who turned 3 in April. We waited until the 12 week scan to tell her and are trying to prepare and involve her as much as we can in the build up. She came to the 20 week scan and we'd explained for weeks before you didn't get to choose whether it was a boy/girl - she was still very definite she wanted a sister and it took some sinking in when we found out it was a boy. We are now over that hurdle and she's excited for a brother but is insisting we call him Jack. Whilst we don't mind Jack (I actually wanted Jaxon but DH said no way) our preference is Lewis and whenever we try to refer to him by this name she tells us he is called Jack. Shes actually telling everyone it is Jack (we also have no idea where that has come from). Part of me thinks we don't mind the name so let her pick it but DH says not...any advice??

Lewis Jack is quite nice!
Mine would have suggested Egg or Massey Ferguson 
I agree with a PP, just don't mention it until the baby is born then call him what you want to call him, she'll forget about it. According to my 2 year old his little brother is going to be SpongeBob Frank
Our 3YO has named unborn baby Poppy. Unfortunately there appears to be no room for negotiation and he's told everyone we know!
I'm thinking we might go with it and when he has kids of his own I'll insist on naming one of them in exchange. 
Smoosh DS has been telling people he's going to have a baby sister named Poppy since November. I didn't conceive until late December! He is quite adamant...

Jack certainly preferable to Jaxon, so yes let her decide. And probably let her make all your big decisions from now on.
