Mum who admits she’s ‘a lazy cow’ has asked the internet to name her baby… and so far she’s got 1,200 suggestions

She's admitted that she's being a 'lazy cow' about choosing a name herself... so enlisted the help of 127k people on Instagram

A PREGNANT mum has put one of the most important decisions of her life in the hands of thousands of complete strangers… after asking them to choose her baby’s NAME.

Sophie Cachia, a mum-of-one from Adelaide, Australia, took to her social media account The Young Mummy to ask her 127,000 followers for their name suggestions.

Sophie – who has a little lad called Bobby and has been with her partner for six years – is only 12 weeks gone, and admitted she was being a ‘lazy cow’ about choosing a name herself.

She does not yet know if she is expecting a boy or a girl – and asked for her followers to go ‘all out’ by picking unique name suggestions.

Posting on Instagram earlier this week, Sophie wrote: “And so the NAME GAME begins!

“The best part I think about not finding out is coming up with two - or in our case last time, three - possible names for your child.

“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 (baby two) 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!”

Sophie’s followers certainly rose to the challenge.

Amazingly, she has received more than 1,200 comments in response.

Proposed boys’ names include Rocco, Jude, Sawyer, Jonty, Casper (yes, as in the friendly ghost), Xander, Cash, Ziggy, Trango, Dublin and Dusty.

 Bobby could soon have a little brother called Casper... or sister called Iggy

While Effie, Gia, Enya, Remi, Neveah (heaven spelt backwards), Yuna, Iggy, Rafael, Lennie, Clove and Navy were all recommended choices for girls.

Sophie has been going against the doctor’s advice and revealed her pregnancy well before her 12-week scan – sharing pictures of her growing bump, bulging boobs, and meals which she is ‘eating for two’.
