Choosing a name can be tough.
You might have names you love but then your partner doesn’t like them. Or you find out from Facebook that your friend has picked the one name you were sure about. Or maybe you don’t want a Steve, Emma or Sarah, instead you’re looking for something that will stand out and be as unique as your baby.
