I already have a son and had utterly convinced myself I was having another boy, so I had at least 4 boys names in mind. Yet to my surprise i'm having a girl! And now cannot come up with any names at all. When I found out I was having a boy before I had his name picked immediately and that was that, I can see a long few months ahead looking at baby names.................Smile

Well what's your sons name.
Its no use recommending a Georgia if his name is George

Why are you so surprised? It's a 50/50 chance! What sort of names do you like?

Same happened to me! Although I'd keep a boy's name in reserve as they told me DS2 was a girl....found girl's names challenging. We had on our list: Harriet, Averil, Lyra. Also liked Bethan, Megan, Margot.

Do you have any ideas so far?

Chellie28 · 12/12/2018 07:51

My son's name is Charlie. I don't know why I'm so surprised, I just had imagined in my head she was a boy! No ideas in mind so far, I just thought once I knew boy/girl that a name would suddenly come to me.

Averil is horrible. Please don’t name your baby that.

Sweepington was that poster even asking for opinions? What an unpleasant thing to say, especially unsolicited. I think Averil is fine.

Charlotte ties nice with Charlie or how about Colette?...
If not those how about:
Sophie
Anna
Emily
Lucy
Camille
Sylvie
Lyra
Violet

Averil will always look like someone couldn’t spell Avril.
