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.

Congrats!
Wolf is my brother's middle name. He has always liked it and I like it too, but it was a bit of a family name. I like Ace but I've generally heard it as a nick for Alexander. Similarly I'd also like it for Alastair though that's less traditional I think. Roux is nice but while I love the pronunciation, I prefer the spelling Rue, because I like the herbal/floral connotations. And roux does make me think of gravy, sorry. Other ideas: Girls Rosalba Margaux Ria Marisol Mara Ninon, Nina Sabine, Simone Boys Fox Rio Jethro, Yitro Ezra Arik Ari, Avi Bram |

Adore Enzo and strangely like Walter!
Frankie is a fav of mine but I could only imagine using it as a nickname and don't like the full versions much. Anouk is quite good but when I read your list I immediately thought 'Lux'. Congrats on the BFP! |

IMO they are all awful and any child named any of those names is likely to be bullied.
