Whether you wait till baby’s arrival to choose or go with your gut when crafting your nursery, you’ll likely have some leftover names after choosing the one.

So was the case with early 2000s icon and High School Musical alum Ashley Tisdale. The Frenshe founder and soon-to-be mom of two recently hopped on TikTok to share a few of her runner-up names as she prepares to welcome baby number two later this year.

In the comments, parents chimed in with love for newly trending names like Bodhi, which traditionally means “awakening” or “enlightenment,” and Raina, a name fit for a queen.
