If you gave birth today (hypothetically) what do you think you would name your baby?

I think if I had a girl she would be Monroe and boy would be Atlas

I'm answering this question as if this baby were my first, so no restrictions re being too close to (or exactly the same as) a sibling name:

Girl: Ariadne, Helena, Hope, Oona.

Boy: Alasdair, Hamish, James, Matthias.

Keira or Sunday for a girl,
Indigo or Francis for a boy

I’ve met a little boy called Indigo and thought it was so special!

Persephone or Astrid for my imaginary girl and Atticus for my imaginary boy.

I love these so so much. Have loved Persephone since I read naughts and crosses

Having a girl and still undecided. I think a boy would have been Stefan.

Probably Frida, Nancy, Tabitha or something Shakespearean for a girl - I'm liking Celia and Viola at the moment. And Rufus for a boy - I don't like as many boys' names and this has been a consistent favourite.

Rufus is a close 2nd favourite for me!

Joseph or Painter for a boy

Allegra or Frieda for a girl

Currently pregnant with a boy and his name is Freddie but if I was having a girl she would be called Nancy

I love Freddie!
Congratulations, wishing you a smooth remainder of pregnancy and labour x

Moira after my beautiful mum who died during the summer. Not sure about a boy's name, Sean maybe.

Neil, Mark, Roy, or
Jane, Laura, Lisa
