We all know that a lot of research goes into choosing a name for your baby. Let's be honest, the baby-naming process can be fun, but there is such an overwhelming number of options out there, that picking the perfect name for your little one can make you a bit bonkers. On top of that, you may not even want to know whether you're having a little boy or a girl.
