Picking the perfect baby name for your little one is a tough and daunting task–especially if you're looking to go with a distinctive moniker. My husband and I have been going back and forth about what we should name our beautiful unborn son (also known as my "soul baby").

Checking all of those boxes off is starting to seem like an impossible task, but this determined mom-to-be isn't giving up.
