There are some really lovely names here. I think the baby might be a Charlotte if it’s a girl.
I love some of these names! I just hope the Royals steer clear of our favourite name, I couldn’t cope if it became popular!
We had a similar concern when George was born and I was pregnant with our son. The media kept suggesting baby names and most of them were on our list. Fortunately, George wasn’t one of them!
It is hard time choosing one name from this list because I liked almost every name. Jane and Louisa are two names still most popular and best names in the list.
