Choosing a baby name is one of the most difficult things you can do – there are so many to choose from.

But it’s also one of the more fun and exciting parts of pregnancy. Trawling through baby name lists, creating your own wish lists and comparing them with your significant other and having lengthy debates about why you are or aren’t choosing certain names.

But it’s also tricky; there are countless names out there and narrowing them down isn’t easy. You don’t want to end up with baby name regret.
