Hello all! My first ever post on here but in need of some help.

We're currently TTC #3 and have two beautiful girls already. We've been together since we were teenagers and for all that time, plus through two pregnancies, we have never ever come up with a single boy's name between us!

Somehow, we've ended up with two girls and thankfully it hasn't been a problem but I just think it will be sod's law that if we're lucky enough to get pregnant again then this time we will actually need a boy name!

It's not even us having different tastes and vetoing the other's choices. We just genuinely have never found a single name either of us love.

Our daughters' names are Nora and Fern. Other girls names we like are Edith, Hazel, and I love Blythe. We obviously like older style names that are heard of but not overly popular.

It's obviously not a pressing issue right now as we aren't even pregnant yet, but I would be very interested in your ideas!

Maybe I'm wrong but I thought Blythe was a boy's name.

Bay - as in the essential fragrant but subtle leaf. But you'll have to wait until they're born to know if it suits
