how did you decide in the end? baby girl is now 3 days old, we both have a favourite that the other isn't taken by and can't find a neutral option.

we are under pressure too, and have canvassed loads of opinion which has resolved nothing but made it seem competitive...

its not good!

thanks

Tell us the options and we'll decide :)

We asked the children to choose between the two options Smile

We did find a neutral one in the end. However I don't think it was really the right one and DD doesn't like it. Now she's 14 she's changed it. Not sure what to advise ready but I think we got it wrong.

I don't think it's a popular opinion but I really think you have to work on a neutral option of both of you don't like the others first choice. Otherwise one of you is going to be unhappy.

I was in your boat 3 months ago, in the end I persuaded him that actually I've done all the hard work, given birth, been constantly tired for 9 months, so I get to chose the first name. Can't argue with that really, he got the second name.
