I am having trouble finding a perfect name for baby. I'm not sure if is a boy a girl, but the doctor predict a girl. My first born's name is Unathi which means God is with us. I prefer a name that can make a follow up on the first one, meaning, no matter how tough things are, God will always be with us.

Don't stress about it, ladies! We weren't sure when we delivered our first child. We had a few ideas, but we weren't sure until we said one name while looking at her. Then we couldn't even think about another name!
