Can't decide? The difficult decision of choosing a name for your baby

Even Dannii can't decide!

DANNII Minogue and her fella Kris Smith are so torn over names for their baby they've resorted to asking their fans for suggestions.

The pair are expecting the arrival of their first tot in July.
Hinting that they've had a few tiffs about the half-English, half-Aussie baby's moniker already, Dannii told her internet fans: "Writing a list of baby names....some we agree on..."
And her rugby ace fella pleaded for some help, writing on his Twitter page: "What names do you guys like?"
Dannii has not yet been confirmed as a judge for this year's series of The X Factor but she will not be at the audition stages because they are set to clash with her due date.
It sounds like she may have some more important decisions on her hands though...

Will it be Ruby?
What about Ruben?
