If you are an OG Next of Kin Parents Podcast listener you'll know I love myself some baby name chat. So if you are pregnant and expecting in February, or just looking for a bit of baby name inspiration then here are my suggestions.
Inspo 1: February Birth Stone
The birth stone for February babies is the Amethyst, which is a great unpopular name in itself or you could opt for a name like Violet or Amara.
