Currently pregnant with DC2, The problem is DH and I haven't found a single girls name we like - not even in the slightest!
We had DS name picked out for Months and I love it. It's unusual but not weird and he is complimented on it regularly. We have a strong list of Names if Baby 2 is a Boy, but Zero on the Girls list!

Can anyone throw me some random suggestions please? Smile

Barnby and Malachy were on our shortlist too.

Our girl shortlist was Annabel, Camilla, Esme, and Lotta.

You can call girls Finn and Fergie...

What about Melody, Harmony, Jaime, Hattie, Stevie, Mattie?

My eldest girl's name comes from my liking a particular Welsh boys name and wondering if there was a female equivalent or similar name to it. And there was. And she's called the boy's name for short. She's not the only girl who uses it as a shirt version of their first name.
