If you were handed a baby (please give a name for each sex) what would you name them? No, you don't get to hand it back Wink they're yours forever, so they need a name Grin

I need inspiration!!!

Geoff.

It's always been my go-to name for the stray cats that are somehow drawn to me, so I guess it would do for a free baby.

Noah for a boy, a girl would go unnamed because I've used all the ones I like.

Gloria and Hector.

Everybody thinks I got my babies by stealing them, because they are so sweet and we are so minging.
