Please, help!
The only names me and my dh love and agree on are used for our dd.
And we now (thankfully) hate the name dh chose if she turned out to be a boy.

I know a lot of people don't like to share the names they actually chose for their children, so what names did you or your partner love or had on a short list that you didn't use/ names you've seen since having your babe that you might use for future babes?

Both genders please! not finding out the sex with this babe either :) Many thanks!

All my life I wanted a Molly / Mollie, so obviously I had a boy! I love it, it is the prettiest name in the world imo. I'll never get to use it but maybe I'll have one as a grandchild one day.
