And one couple decided to take the choice out of their own hands after narrowing their list down to three potential monikers - as they let their dog make the final decision instead. Courtney Brooks, 29, and her husband Oliver, 30, had whittled their son's name choices down until they were stuck between Casey, Brody, and Jaxon, but when they struggled to settle on which one they wanted to use, they handed over power to their two-year-old spaniel terrier cross, Gus. The couple, from Folkstone, Kent, took Gus to a nearby park with three balls, each of which had one of their name choices written on it. They then threw the balls across the park and let Gus run to whichever one he wanted. And when the adorable pup came back with a ball with 'Brody' written on it, they decided to give the moniker to their firstborn. Courtney and Oliver claimed Brody was their favourite of the three names anyway, and since little Brody was born on July 5, the couple has said Gus has been a great "big brother" to the newest addition to their family. The new mum and virtual assistant said: "He's a very clever dog. I think he knew very early on that I was pregnant but was pretending not to. One random night I was lying there, and Gus cuddled up to me and laid right on my belly and the baby started going crazy. "We struggled with names so much. We liked Jaxon from the beginning and Casey was a family suggestion. We went to a wedding and asked people their sons' names and one said Brody – we just loved it. Oliver wanted to know the name we were going with, so we got Gus to help. He picked Brody and then he kept picking him. It was our favourite anyway."
