Do dad's get to name their child or is it more mum influenced? :)

I think it depends on the relationship between mom and dad. If they're on extremely good terms, it's a choice ok-ed by both. If mom is super-sentimental, she gets to choose the name. If mom is super-sentimental and also cares about her husband, she "lets" him choose the name. So, you see, mostly moms get to "decide" who chooses the name :)
