Can you ever be ready for a baby?
Before you get pregnant, you might have all the boxes ticked, or you could be the 'let's just see what happens' type. No matter what your style, it can help to think about the emotional aspects of parenthood.

Hi all, we are having trouble with picking out baby names. We have a few on a short list, but so hard to decide. I can't say that I'm totally sold on any of them and finding it hard to find any other suggestions. We are after Eastern European names.....something that could be pronounced in English without sounding too odd.
These are the names we have on our list. Boys: Aleksander, Luka, Marko Girls: Ava, Elena, Monika |

Why are you after eastern European names? Are you are your partners' heritage EE? If so, why not look at names from that particular country, rather than being general?
