And said, "you have seven seconds to name this child," what would your off-the-top-of-my-head response be? (Besides, obviously, wondering who this loon passing a baby around is.)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Imogen, Eloise, Miranda, Lydia, Rowan, Clementine, Alexandra. (It's just as well I am not going to have a DD, as I'd never be able to decide!)

Helenka - used to work with one and like the name as it's so unusual

Currently pregnant and considering Nell and Ettie. Also like daphne, Celeste and Margot but have used those names for my pet ducks.

What names are you considering CheerfulYank

5mad I love Thalia, it was on my favourites list but DP wasn't keen.

Farrah, Sophia, willow, Freyja, Chloe, Lucy, and Thalia. I had 7 seconds but couldn't decide so you've got 7 names instead OP, sorry, that probably doesn't help.

Love that, along with Rowan. Seems soft, gentle, honourable, lovely.
