I’m having a little girl next week!!! And she still doesn’t have a 100% name.

What names would you use?

@nannybeach I agree

I didn't find out, as there are few surprises left in life and thats such a lovely surprise

Not sure of middle name yet or if this one is even a girl but it’s the only girls name I love. I have an abundance of boys names on my list

@nannybeach , did you mean to post that on a name thread? I don't think it's that people are that bothered about whether it's a boy or a girl - more that many people are "planners" or sometimes less fond of surprises.

Sometimes calling the baby inside you by their name can help with bonding even before birth. Or it might be that giving birth can be a shocking enough experience as it is, so knowing the babies sex and therefore what you will name him/her (and even particular nursery colours/themes or outfits ahead of time if that matters to you, although it doesn't to me) can be a part of birth "planning" and one less thing to worry about afterwards if you've had a difficult birth.

But thankfully if you do prefer the surprise, then hopefully the midwives/sonographer should keep schtum!

I can't get my head round the obsession with having to know the sex of a baby pre birth. I had to fight tooth and nail with the midwives who were busting a gut to tell me. It takes something very special away

CanofCant · 14/11/2021 14:05

Ramona or Veronica

@EmmaOvary, I'm glad someone else likes Cassia. I love that it's a floral/nature name too (a tree with yellow or sometimes pink blossoms I think!) and but it's also apparently an Ancient Roman women's name from the Cassii clan, so also fits in with my general style of favourite classical names (Claudia, Antonia, Gaia, Theia...Cassiopeia Smile) .

shiningstar2 · 14/11/2021 00:03

Elizabeth or Victoria
