Have you thought about asking to know the baby's sex instead? It's impossible to determine the gender from a scan, and you're unlikely to know it's gender for about 15 years or so

I love Isolde and Giselle.

Hendrick is my favourite from your boy’s list. Edward is nice but very, very popular. I prefer Edgar and Edmund.

Don’t use Heathcliff - I dated one years ago and his name had been a real millstone. He used Heath, but as soon as people found out his full name, the piss taking would start.
