Interesting. They should be choosing two names, one for each gender. And what if they get twins ...both of same gender or ...or may be triplets 😉 That will make them go hunting for new baby names for sure. LOL!

Usually parent nowadays get an ultrasound to determine the gender (and if it might be twins) well before birth time nears. In the old days, yes, they did usually pick a name for each gender as they awaited the outcome.

I see. In my country, gender determination is not allowed to stop the practice of female foeticide. Gender discrimination is a very serious problem here. It feels good to hear that it's not an issue in your place. We need to learn a lot from your culture.
