Girls' names are a million times harder than boys', IMO. There are names I like on other people but I can't think of one single girls' name I would be able to use on a baby daughter. Hope I have another boy!

ButtonMoon88 · 29/08/2015 09:28

That's it today, at the moment it seems I'm into the more frilly, princessy names.

waxweasel · 29/08/2015 17:06

I find the opposite! There seem so many more interesting options with girls names, whereas I just cant get excited about any boys ones. We have one or two that are fine and I could use, but I just don't feel the same OMG I LOVE IT feeling that I do for girls names. Really hoping this DC is a girl...

Well if we're talking about boy's names I have some good ones...(I think!)
