My daughter was born this morning at 3:12am. She was born at 27+2 and we didn't know the sex. My husband hasn't met her yet, hes 200 miles away with our other kids.

Our other kids are Xanthe, Jago and Herbie.

We had not even discussed namees

I have always loved the name Leonie - really lovely girlfriend of my old housemate is called Leonie

Congratulations btw OP - I know it might be a bit scary having such an early surprise but well done! Hope you have someone with you, if not that they will be with you soon. Flowers

LOVE Zenobe. I know one who goes by 'Zen' and she really is the loveliest, most down to earth, calming presence to be around.
Congrats on your baby 😊

Iseult is an Isolde alternative.

But congrats to you, OP! I hope you have someone with you (other than the new bundle!). Hope your DH is able to be with you soon. Flowers
