We can’t think of ANY boy names - any help would be hugely appreciated... just in case 🙈

Vivienne, Emmaline, Bridget, Anberlin, Kennedy, Kensington and Scarlett were some of the names I liked for a girl. We had a second boy instead

Adeline

I love Gwen, Fiona, Aurora, and Clara.

I recently fell in love with the name Oakley, and Mazikeen/Maze (From Lucifer)

Cash, Kennedy, Warren, Weston, Gemma

Honoria, Autumn, Aurelia, Seraphina, Melia, Valentina, Evangeline, Damaris, Rosabella. By the way I love the name Brielle or Briella!

I’m all for boy names for girls!

Conrad
Cambell
Collins
Drew

I really love the name Dejah (I’ve also seen it spelled daizha, deija) and it’s pronounced like the first part of dejavú. Spelling it is a fun game and I find it so pretty and interesting!

Coco Diana

Persephanie

Maisy

We just had ours and named her Gemma Evangeline. Haven’t met anyone with either names

I’m a fan of Olive my but it didn’t fit our initials. My bf and our 2 kids are EAR. 😂

I loveeeee Haisley Brielle 😍

Just had a baby girl, I named her Lailah LaRue. But another name I was thinking of was Ophelia Love. I think Love is a beautiful middle name, very different/unique and pretty.

I love Stella wren. "Hey there delilah" ruined that name for me :(

arabella skye is my favorite name for a baby girl ❤️❤️❤️

Just had my baby girl we named her Brielle Michaela

Knew someone who named their daughter Waylynn

We loved Sadie for a girl💞

Teagan Lily
Indiana / Indy
Blake
Ryan
Sutton

Aliana Brielle or Aliana Neomi

I wanted to name my daughter Raegan or Kinnsley but my fiancé didn’t like either, and we settled for Hailey Rae. I love it so much.

Delilah Brielle is beautiful😍

My hub loves the name Remi, but its my cousin's wifes name.
But he really loves it, if we have a girl next.... i don't think I can talk him out of it!

My 5 month old daughter is Wren Savanna Louise (all the names! Savanna is my sis and Louise both my mum and hubbies). We adore her name and get compliments daily on it. I'd be happy to share it with your bub 😘

I see repeats of Aliana and Brielle so I’d say those are probably your favs 😊 Aliana Brielle is beautiful!

I like all the names but none of the middle names flow. My daughter has two middle names and one of them is Brielle 🤗

If our son was a daughter his babe would have been Eva with Lee as the middle name.

My daughters name is Aveyah, I get so many compliments on it! And my name is Shawnassey which is also a unique name that I get a ton of compliments on as well!

Love Aliana. I have a Talia! I like it because it’s used (or a similar name used) in many cultures

Haisley or delilah

I like Gemma! We had the 2 names Charlotte and Avery picked out if we had a girl.

Riley, Harley, Freddy

Juliana faustine

Aurora
Skye
Rein
Briar
Alora
Layla
Seraphina
Thea
Xael
Zuri
Zarai

My daughter’s name is Eliana (pronounced Eh-Lee-ah-na) Olivia.

I think Cecily is pretty

Love the name Wren!

I love the name fawn for a girl

Our baby girl is Wren Ofelia. There are some lovely name suggestions here!

Love Remi !!

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

My 2 year old won’t eat nothing but snacks

Is this normal ? He won’t even try anything I eat .. he really only like pizza fries and spaghetti… nuggets and snacks bananas some other fruit but like anything else he won’t eat if try but I don’t want to force him I’m just I feel like bad I mean he isn’t losing weight I breastfeed mostly still

Shift worker daddies - advice please?

My husband works shifts (6am-6pm days or 6pm-6am nights) so when he’s on shift we either get about an hour or 2 before he goes to work or an hour or 2 when we gets home with him.

I don’t think people who aren’t married/have babies with shift workers fully understand the impact of feeling like a solo parent sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice? I do have parents who can help but I struggle to leave my baby with others as I always feel like they don’t understand the need for tracking wake windows or feeds and our baby will not sleep unless we black out a room or go for a car drive . Everyone seems to think ‘if he’s tired he’ll drop off’ - no he’ll just get overtired and have to then pay for it during his night sleep. So I feel like it’s just easier for me to do it all myself.

When my husbands off work he is great but I do take the mental load of telling him what to do or even reminding him of wake windows etc because he’s not here and forgets routines. He’s also being tested for ADHD currently so there’s that on top of shift work.

Just looking for advice on how to stay sane/keep routines or share loads with shifts workers?

Thank you ❤️

Feeling like I’m failing

Hey guys, I need some advice or some positivity here!
My daughter is 5 months next week and she has her first tooth coming through! Yay! But for the past month or so she has become so wary of family whenever I go to visit! She screams, won’t settle, cries the whole time. I went for my birthday to celebrate and I had to leave because she just would cry looking at anyone :( it’s so hard because she used to be so good with anyone!

Will this change or is this just the way she is? I try to see them as often as I can, and my MIL is looking after her in two weeks overnight and part of a day and I’m petrified of what’s going to happen, that she’s going to scream. My poor MiL 😭. I’m a very calm and collected person and I don’t get worked up when she does react this way… I just feel so sad and down that I can’t be with family and that my poor girl is scared. I give her so many cuddles, milk, toys, going to a quiet room, but she just doesn’t settle 😭

Please someone say this is a phase and there is light at the end of the tunnel ?!!

With the weather getting nicer I just feel we are going to miss out on so many lovely family memories

Really bothered by this

A friend posted this and it really bothers me because that is exactly how she parents her kid, and it's rather unfortunate because when our kids hang out together, her kid has a meltdown at least 5x within an hour. We have know them for years and it's only gotten worse. My kids will concede to hers, because they don't want to see their friend crying, but it sucks because they give up so much of their toys and enjoyment to keep the peace. We aren't hanging out as much anymore but it's rather sad to think she doesn't intervene more in her child tantrums and just let's it slide
