“We had a couple of names with Mexx, because we didn’t know if we were having a boy or a girl. So I’m thinking, 'What do you do with the second? Do you find a new name that you love?'.
"We absolutely still love some of the names we were speaking about for Mexx. It’s strange because once you see them, you know whether the name suits them or not.”
