My niece totally just picked her own name

My sister has moved in and is 28 weeks pregnant. We've been playing with a few names, bub's dad is Indian so we've been trying for an Indian name.

Today sister saw the dad for what will be the last time (he's being deported on Monday), and he gave her a few name ideas. She and I discarded one, but couldn't decide between the other two. So, mucking around, I put my face near her belly and said, 'Right bubba, wanna pick your name? 2 kicks when you hear the name you like'.

First name = nothing.
Second name - 2 very strong kicks!

We couldn't believe it, we laughed our heads off for a few minutes! So it seems bub has chosen her name, R.akavi L.orraine.

How cool is that!

I even confirmed it once we'd finished laughing, I leaned down and said, 'So, you definitely want R.akavi?', ​and she kicked again. It was amazing!
