I’m 27wks pregnant with baby number 2, we were unable to find out the sex at our 20wk scan and were toying with the idea of booking a private one to find out. Of course now due to lockdown that is not possible so it looks like we will be having a surprise Grin

We have a name for a boy but cannot find a single girls name, I don’t like anything too popular, such as Lily or Isla, and prefer one or two syllable names. To give you an idea of our taste 3yr old DS is called Rex and if he has a brother his name will be Rudy* Smile

Please inundate me with suggestions x

*baby’s name does not have to begin with R that was purely coincidence

Thank you ladies Smile
Some really great suggestions, I really like Orla, Greta and Wren - something a little different.
Ruby is great too, I hadn’t even thought of that @LotusClover x

Rex is a lovely name op. I'd go for something like Lyra, Orla, Wren, Nell, Beatrix, Juno.
