“I let my Instagram followers choose my baby name”

Picking a baby name tends to be a very personal thing but one mum is letting social media do the work for her.

Blogger Sophia Cachia, who is behind ‘The Young Mummy’ website, has handed responsibility over to her 127,000 Instagram followers. That’s right, she has asked her fans for name suggestions for her second child. She already has a son called Bobby. The mum from Melbourne requested monikers for both boys and girls as she doesn’t yet know what she’s having and people responded in style.

Alongside the above snap, she explained:

“First pregnancy I was OBSESSED with baby names, second time around I'm like 'meh, that will do'. I'm totally being a lazy cow and would like to be inundated with your many suggestions. Put below if you think B2 is a boy or a girl, and give me your best name suggestions that go with Bobby. Ps we don't fancy traditional, this time we're going all out. To think this might be my last pregnancy - woah!”

The suggestions included:

• Marley
• Levi
• Everlei
• Casper
• Arietta
• Tully
• Lila
• Harley
• Effie
• Jude
• Atlas
• Foxx
• Henley
• Florence
• Huxon
