[name_u]Baby[/name_u] due in [name_u]March[/name_u]. Big brother is [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] but gets [name_u]Sam[/name_u]. I’d like a classic name with a cutesie nickname to match.
We like Henry/Harry or Benjamin/Ben for a boy, but also just [name_u]Jack[/name_u]!
We like Penelope/Penny and Amelia/Ellie for a girl.
Any other ideas would be fantastic! Xx
I like [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] (Ben) & [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] (Ellie) with [name_u]Sam[/name_u]!
