Name changed as outing and don't want anyone to spot my other opinions Grin

I have a Henry (5) and a Lily (2).
I'm now pregnant with number 3, and struggling as I've used my two favourite names!

If it's a girl, I'm leaning towards Florence or Margot.

But for a boy, I'm stuck. I prefer traditional 'Grandma/Grandad' names.
Suggestions welcome!

Love Florence.
My first thoughts were Violet and William.

Emelene · 05/09/2019 18:37

I thought Florence before I saw your options! But I am biased as I have a gorgeous little Florence!
