When I found I was pregnant for the second time it only took a few days hours before my thoughts went to names. I have a strange fascination with baby names, I always have done. Even as a little girl I remember spending so much time deciding on what to name all my dolls and then getting annoyed that my cabbage patch kids already had names on their tags because I didn't like 99% of the names they already had. I mean high maintenance child or what!
Not finding out the gender second time around naturally meant more names to look at. I spent months on the Internet googling names in the early stages and I felt so disgruntled at the fact nothing popped out at me. If we were to have another girl we wanted something that fit nicely with Lily. I'd been thinking along the lines of something floral again and I spent hours looking through Lily's flower fairy book and circling a ton of names in there but none of them stuck. (I wanted Scout, James was having none of it. We eventually decided on India/Indie - but that's another story) I do wonder whether maybe I couldn't commit to a girls name at the time because I knew deep down I was having a boy? Although boys names weren't much easier if I'm honest. I had more choice with boys names, as I naturally seem to prefer boys names, but again, frustratingly, none that stuck.
