Myself and DH are really stuck for girls names.
I can't get past my favourite two names. Boys names shortlist seem to be sorted. I'm 21w today so have got a while to think about it but just wondering if any of you lovely ladies have any ideas. Cheers! Grin

Why not Catherine or Elizabeth though? They are both lovely, classic names and if you like them, go for it. Unless you are expecting girl triplets. Grin

My boys name short list are Thomas, Matthew and Edward.

I adore Catherine and Elizabeth. I just want a 3rd girls name for a even short list!

I'm a little bit OCD like that. Need things to be symmetrical!
