Any suggestions? Will be a brother to Anna and Eliza.

I had really bad PND in the past and not giving dd a name was a part of that. I’ve had lots of therapy over the last few years and think it would really help me connect if I can think of this baby as a certain name/ who he will be. I’m only 20 weeks pregnant so have a lot of time to think!

So….any suggestions?! I don’t want something really popular. Will be a brother to Anna and Eliza.

Thank you :)

I can identify with this. I really wanted to name my children before they were born for that reason. I have a friend who didn't name hers for weeks afterwards and I couldn't get my head around it.she kept telling me to wait. Both my DC were born by EMCS and I was dreading arguing about a name while I was in recovery.

How did you get dd's name. Could you use the same formula? If you Google one of the name sites does it give you ideas for Anna and Eliza's brother?

Remember, inspiration can come from anywhere. Inspiration for my sons's name came from my favourite medical drama I was binging while I was pg!

Anna & Eliza are both classic names but not overused. Boys names I would also say that about are:

Luke
John
Jonathan
Robin (more popular for girls)
Daniel
Rupert
James
Joseph
Matthew
Michael

Ah thank you!!!

Some that stand out as potentials…
Daniel (I love, DH thinks it’s a bit boring)
Gus (with a longer name on bc)
Ted (with a longer name). Slight concern that Teddy is v popular
Xander
Kit (but don’t like Christopher)
James
Maxwell (is Max too popular?)

@Spaghag I LOVE Robyn for a girl, less so for a boy.

@mrsnec thank you, I’m glad to hear it’s not just me who feels like this.

We can’t use
