I picked ours from one of my favourite books. I've always liked names with a bit of background instead of just a cute one, as my mum picked mine because it was short and I've always found it a bit disappointing haha So you could go through books or films you like and think of characters you liked and you'd like your little one to look up to 🙂

Yeah see we’re into basketball so we’ve been trying out different players names to see if they tickle our fancy. I think we’ll just have a couple we like them pick when he’s here and can see what he looks like maybe…

We’ve been combing through grandparents on each side to find names we like :)

Me and my partner are also really struggling, I feel sometimes family don’t help also as you can get yourself really set on something and as soon a family member doesn’t like it it makes you second guess! I had so many girl names prepared but really struggling with boy names!

We chose our son's name after both our Grandads. It's Henry (my late grandad's middle name) Peter (my husband's late Grandads first name). The girl name we've gone for is completely random but when we were having our son we didn't find out the gender so picked a name for each and we still really love the girl option so it was easy this time around. Id have been completely stuck if this baby was a boy! Also top tip, keep it to yourselves once you decide so family can't meddle. Both times we've kept it a secret and I love the fact they hate not knowing 😂

We have Arlo as a first name which it I’m Honest we came across before we were pregnant and it just kind of stuck we love it and don’t really like any other names and the middle name will be David as both of our grandads had David as there first names xx
