If you gave birth today (hypothetically) what do you think you would name your baby?

I think if I had a girl she would be Monroe and boy would be Atlas

We planned to use Amelia or Darcy for a girl (we had a boy). I’m actually a bit over Amelia now, so maybe Darcy or Madeline? Leonora is also a cool name. Maybe Lea for short.

Also like Sophia but both my SILs are called Sophie so I wouldn’t use it.

Boys are a nightmare. DS was called Baby for six weeks because we couldn’t agree, and even on the way to the register office DH was trying to get me to name him Alxndr with no vowels (I did not name him that).

I’m 32 weeks pregnant so hoping this doesn’t tempt fate but our current favourites are Charlotte (Lottie) and Christopher (Kit). I love Tristan but my husband is not on board at all!
