I don't know what I'm having yet and the father is not in the picture so I'm having to make a decision by myself which is both very exciting and intimidating. My surname is 3 syllables in length. My mum, bless her, has suggested Pearl which although sweet I can't help but think of the pearl extraction process so Pearl is out. For boys I tend to like traditional names such as James but I'm getting stuck for girl names. ATM I like anything from Nancy to Jane. What names can you suggest? Also is Samantha too dated? (not keen on Sam or Sammie though tbh)
