i have 3 children by my first husband called Oliver (16), Abigail (12) and Cora (9). last summer i married by new partner and we are now having our first baby together in March. Abigail and Cora are HUGE fans of the pop band Girls Aloud so want the baby to be called Cheryl, Nadine, Sarah, Nicola or Kimberley (if its a girl) and Zack if its a boy (after high school musical) Oliver is a huge football fan and supporting Arsenal wants the baby to be Theo (after Theo Walcott) if its a boy. i want my children to have an imput in the new babys name but i should i put up with their choices of names? any advice or suggestions? x

when i was 18 and my brother was 16 my mum fell pregnant again. her and her partner chose the first name and let me and my brother chose a name each for the middle names. i hate to admit it but i was a HUGE spice girls fan and so i chose Emma. my brother had a crush on a girl at school and chose Olivia. so my little sister (now almost 6) was born Jessica Emma Olivia Bately and to this day is very proud to say where she got her name from. i think this worked well so you could chose the first name and let the girls agree on a name and let your boy pick the other. good luck x

Maybe include both?
I wanted to have a say in my little brothers name (I was 4 and probably a very bossy madam) So they chose his first name (Ben) and they let me choose his middle name (Scott)x

I love the idea of your children having an input in naming your baby! my older children helped me name my triplets and our baby after them aswell... I love Zack, Theo and Nicola and Cheryl .. Good Luck x

thats a lovely idea. there arent really any awful names so i think you could come up with a gorgeous combination. must say favourites are Kimberley and Theo. x

thanks for the ideas. we prefer Cheryl or Kimberley for girls names (either first or middle not sure yet) and for a boy Theo is the preferred. we are going to talk to the kids and try and come up with lots of different suggestions soon :) keep the suggestions coming - thankyou xx
