Hi everyone,
My husband and I have just found out that baby number 2 (EDD June 26th) is going to be a little girl and have made a shortlist of names that we like.
Just thought I'd see what others think as we aren't sharing our choices with family/friends and my hubby and I have different favourites (although we do both like both names).
So my favourite is Amelia (which we would eventually shorten to Mila) and hubs favourite is Martha.
I'd like Middle name Jayne (family tradition) but also like May, or Grace as a middle name. Our surname is McDonald and our little boy is called Rex William.
Any opinions (or other suggestions) greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance x

Martha Jayne doesn't go IMHO - something about the combination told very traditional and more contemporary spellings. Martha Jane would be better but presumably 'Jayne' is a family name in that particular spelling.

Mila Jayne is pretty.

I love both Mila and Martha. Both beautiful names Smile

Martha is much nicer than Mila. Mila feels a bit trendy and celeb-ish because of Mila Kunis.
