Amber Desiree “AD” Smith and Ollie Sutherland are ready for the next chapter in their lives: parenthood.

The Love Is Blind alum and the Love Is Blind UK star, both 33, revealed that they have a name for their little one.
“We’ve got a name, but it’s remaining top secret, and funny enough, I was pleasantly surprised at how aligned we were very, very early on,” Ollie tells PEOPLE. “Probably like the first two or three names, we got the one, and it just shows how aligned we are in like the way we think and everything.”
Echoing his sentiments, AD says, “We got something. Pretty much as soon as it came out of his mouth, I was like, ‘Yeah, I like that.'”

Both AD and Ollie, who first announced they were expecting a baby girl together in May, also opened up about the things they are most excited about when it comes to their little one.
“Most excited for my bundle of joy to see something that we created out of love,” AD says. “I’m nervous for the long nights. I can’t lie. I’m excited for them because it’ll be something new, but I know after like, night two, I’m gonna be like a little over it.”
Echoing her response, Ollie says he’s most excited to “just hold my little girl,” though he’s “nervous for the sleepless nights.”
“I know it will be worth it and I know that the good moments will far outweigh the stressful ones,” he adds. “So, I’m really excited.”

AD went on to share with PEOPLE that the soon-to-be girl dad still “shocks me every day.”
“He shocks me every day. He’s an amazing fiancé. He’s so nurturing and attentive to me, so I just know once he gets his little girl in his arms, he’s gonna just be the most amazing dad ever.”
With so many of her fellow Love Is Blind alums, like Amber and Matt Barnett from season 1 and Bliss and Zach from season 4, recently becoming parents, there are plenty of people the couple can go to for advice. AD shares with PEOPLE that she has leaned on her network of moms for some tips before she welcomes her little one.
“I got some advice from Giannina [Gibelli] on my podcast before we announced that we were pregnant and she was just so in love with her son and her marriage and her husband,” AD shares. “She was just like, ‘Take it day by day,’ and that’s really what we plan on doing.”
