Shall I find out the sex of my baby at my 19 week scan?

dh wants me to - we have 2 girls and, to be honest, he really really wants a boy and wants me to find out so he isn't horribly disappointed at the birth (if its another girl).

I don't care what I have (although having a boy would be easier in terms of family pressure!!)

I am hoping the baby will keep its legs crossed. I really don't want to know.

I very much like Suzannah. Think Suzy/Suzie is so cool for a woman. There's a woman who is always on teh news (spokeswoman for ? group - forgotten who atm) called Suzy Leather - how cool is that?

I like Miranda - have a friend with that name.

I also like family names if you can dig any nice ones up. Think it is sweet to say that a child has great grandad's name.
Wanted to call ds John Joseph as my grandfather and uncle were both called that, or Charles after my other grandfather, but dh wasn't keen.

lalage sounsd a bit like lavage. i know a miranda who never gets called randy but does get called mirazz. what about estella, like stella but no beer or fashion connotations? I didn't find out at my 20-week scan but am quite convinced is boy number three, so swap opportunioty still there, Enid, can show you my existing stock of boys they are excellent quality...
