Right, so my mil has been happily announcing that she doesn't like our choice of names; Angus and Scarlett. I'm pretty frustrated by it as she regularly tells the story of how her mil didn't like her choice of name and she didn't use it and has always been disappointed by that. So my mum suggested we throw her off the scent with some awful decoy names that we say we will be using, to the point where our actual names seem like a blessing. I'm thinking something very posh sounding like Bartholomew or Sebastian as she would really hate those. She thinks I'm posh so would probably believe them. Then, after using these for the entire pregnancy, a wee Angus or Scarlet would seem welcome! Any other suggestions for decoy names?...

Mungo!!

I actually love it, but it's too pretentious and my other half would have an absolute fit 😂
