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.)

Martha then Annabelle were weirdly the first 2 names that immediately popped into my head. So one of those I guess.

These are all good but not quite IT.

Poor thing is not going to have a name. :( Though tbf I thought I knew DS's name (William) and then when he was born we knew immediately he was a Sam. So.

Anything starting with El is out, as are Hannah, Anne, Vanessa, Rebecca, Kate, Emily, Jane, Claire...all relatives. :)
