The Challenges of a Name.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet"
Romeo and Juliet
A few days ago we knew exactly what the baby was going to be called. We were assuming the baby was a boy. We were wrong.

Now I'm very confused. I'm trying out a name at the moment but I don't have that same sense that 'this is the one' though like I did if she had been a boy.

Naming is such an important thing. What if we get it wrong? What if she hates it? What if she later says 'Mum, what on earth were you thinking?'

I'm constantly looking at baby names books but it is just so hard. I don't want to stuff this up. Thank goodness we still have a long way to go - I think we are going to need it.
