Taking to , the pregnant woman told how she's torn between two names that she's fallen in love.

She wrote: "I am stuck between two very different feeling names for a future baby girl.

Future baby boys would be named Griffin and Dane."

For a girl, I’m thinking either Marlena Rose or Winter Rose."

Instead, members of the public drew associations between everything from scented candles to cat litter trays.

Taking to the comments section, one person penned: "I like Marlena more than Winter. It feels vintage without being dowdy, plus Winter Rose kinda sounds like a candle scent."

A second agreed: "Lol candle scent."

A third quipped: "Makes me think of that seal sing 'kiss from a rose.'"

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "I have a cat called Winter - his twin is Ghost (GOT named bottle litter)... Winter Rose scented anything immediately makes me think of litterbox LOL

Marlena all the way!!"

Another commented: "Winter Rose sounds kinda try-hard and Marlena sounds more elegant, so Marlena Rose gets my vote."

Elsewhere, a further quipped: "Oh wow, please not Winter Rose. That’s… unbearably cheesy.

"Winter itself is not bad, but the combo sounds like you picked it when you were eleven years old. Marlena is nice, uncommon but not trendy, good nickname possibilities."
