Now I am over halfway through this pregnancy, our attention really has turned to names. Boys names have always been much easier for us to choose so knowing that this little one is a girl has proved quite difficult name wise. We have a few we quite like but Steve is notoriously difficult when it comes to girls names – there really aren’t many that he is keen on! Jack also has a few favourites but we aren’t too keen on them ourselves – no matter how much he tries to persuade us!
I’ve been taking a look at this infographic from vouchercloud.com for some inspiration and there are a few I like on there. Its also interesting to see the current trends and predictions for the future – I must admit I do know quite a few Harry’s, George’s, Lily’s, Noah’s and Ava’s!
It is so difficult to decide whether to go for something traditional but increasingly common or something more original but not too ‘out there’. I can definitely see some of these predictions coming true and have in fact heard of a few of these names being used already! I’m currently keeping the names we’ve got shortlisted close to my chest just because I want to but I am definitely open to suggestions on girls names, especially if you can encourage Steve to like them!
With so many of my friends being pregnant with girls right now, I’ve noticed that we are all struggling. Both Jenna from Chic Geek Diary and I know each others potential names but of course, that could be subject to change – I suppose it all depends on what name baby girl suits when she finally arrives.
If you’ve got children, did you struggle with choosing baby names? Did you have tons of names for one gender but barely any for another like us? I’d be interested to know!
