DS is jack. DSD is Lilly Grin

Oops I'll see what they want to change their names too

I'd be pleased if this was true. My name is common, I work with 4 others with my name and IIRC it's still in the top 30 for girls. It would be nice to be more idividual.

Grin I did actually consider both of those names when pregnant!

Un-jack very funny

I know two families with kids called Lilly and Jack. Better not like his on fb!

Ha, ha. In our Cubs group we have 4 Jacks, two of which share the same surname, so it can indeed get very confusing!

Parent Stephen Malley said: “I have to admit it can be quite confusing having three sons called Jack and two daughters called Lily, but it’s infinitely preferable to not calling them Jack or Lily.

Well buggeration. I really liked the name Lillian :( It's been my "go to" for 5+ years... /sigh
