Baby boy due next month

As it’s now June, we can say our baby is due next month. Not having an idea of names is really stressing me out - we already have a Brodie so would like something that sounds good together (I quite like the ie/y ending but doesn’t have to be). We’re both teachers in the UK so nothing too common. Some ideas of names we like but aren’t going to use are
1. Corey (was set on this but now found out it’s slang for penis)
2. Casey (love this but I feel like I don’t pronounce my S’s subtly enough, I feel like a snake although others say they don’t notice it, I do)
3. Riley (new child at my partners school)
4. Laurie (short for Lawrence, my favourite name but partner hates. He can’t unhear the vehicle)
5. Rory (my cousin just had a baby boy and named him Rory)
6. Preston (same as Casey with pronouncing the S’s)
7. Deacon (partner “doesn’t hate it but doesn’t love it”
8. Brooklyn (I refer to Brodie as “B” a lot - could be confusing)
9. Bentley (same as Brooklyn, “B” could get confusing)
10. Arlo (we were between Brodie and Arlo for our first born but swayed away from Arlo since. Still like (not love) it but brother in law is adamant we can’t use it as he wants it for when he has children.

Please, please give me suggestions of similar names but that aren’t toooo common in UK (no Ollie, Freddie etc etc)

Silly questions

Does anyone else ever read a post and think “why tf are you asking us this and not calling a doctor!?” I understand this is a place to share advice, thoughts, and opinions.. but are some questions really necessary? for example one person asked a question about sex being painful after a surgery, and another asked if they should get their baby medical attention because their newborn had accidentally gone under dirty water during bath time. Why on earth would you take the time to write a whole paragraph about how your baby was under dirty water, right after it happened, instead of calling a health professional for advice??? I honestly think some of these questions put out there are ridiculous and need to be taken to a professional instead of waisting time asking strangers on an app.

Finding second C-section recovery so much harder!

Laddies I need all your tips and tricks to a smooth recovery.
I’m 5 days post elective C-section after having twins . My first C-section was 3 years ago and an emergency.
This time I am struggling ALOT I’m keeping ontop of ibuprofen and paracetamol but still on a fair amount of pain especially on the side they’ve tied of.
I’m really struggling to poo! It’s there and waiting to come out but generally feels like I have a cork up my arse (when I wipe there’s soft poo on the tissue I just can’t get it to come out)
I’m not breastfeeding but my boobs are soooo engorged
My ankles n feet generally hurt from the swelling
My back is absolutely killing from sleeping on it (I’m a stomach/side sleeper but it’s to painful to even try these positions)

I am staying mobile that isn’t a problem, ince I’m up and moving I’m fine but getting up is BAD


Please anyone send help 😩 my twins are fast asleep yet I’m wide awake because I’m in so much discomfort
