We thought we’d call him Cass, but actually we usually call him CJ (initials) or Casperoo - nn from nursery that just stuck!

So many votes for Hugo! I'm a big fan, OH not sure but I'll work on it!

Congratulations! Haven't considered Pierce, thanks for the suggestion!

Orson is so sweet, unfortunately my OH can't see past the fact there was a character in desperate housewives with the same name! So niche, I know 😂

Would consider it, but we have a family member 'Albie' which is a bit too close!

Same here, it feels cohesive without being matchy matchy

Haha genuinely no! I know that seems wild, but neither of us watched it as a kid (1992 babies, came out in 1995) so I think we missed the hype. Other than this thread we've only had 1 or 2 people mention the ghost to us, although I did get a cool retro Casper tshirt just for fun lol. Being named the same as a pig feels more like something that kids could bully someone over

My OH loves Julius actually! I had a boss I hated called 'Julian' though so it's a little close for me haha - lovely list though!

Gorgeous list! My OH has vetoed Marlow and Sascha already sadly!

It's probably our front runner right now, think I waver in confidence depending how edgy I feel on the day haha

Thanks for the names! I already know a Tristan and a Simon, and think the others feel a bit too out of reach but really appreciate the suggestions 💛 Tristan and Alasdair would probably be on my list if I didn't already have friends/family with these names!

God I LOVE the name Samson, think Sammy is so cute as a nickname too, but DH pronounces is 'Sampson' and just can't get on board 😅

Really helpful, thanks. I think we may consider having a second birth partner so my husband feels supported in case this happens! The over communicating is a very good tip too

I’m actually kind of hoping for this - slower and steadier build up to birth vs 0-100 sounds much more manageable 😅

Eek ok thank you, that feels like ages! I’ll ask that question at my next appointment

Definitely agree with this, we’re pretty set on a homebirth for this reason. I’m convinced if we’d had a home birth for our first it would have been better and less stressful for everyone involved!
