Baby named after me?! Why is it the only name I like.. Help

So the only name hubby and I both like so far is [name_u]Ashton[/name_u]. It’s one of the first names we discussed and we keep coming back to it. That being said, it’s basically our first names smushed together. ([name_f]Ashlee[/name_f] + hubby is a male name ending in “don”).

Personally, I dislike naming our children after ourselves (just personal preference), and I actually don’t like my name very much.

[name_m]Long[/name_m] story short, I want something a little different for a name and hubby is suggesting boring names… This seems to be the only remotely non boring one he likes, and I like it too. I can’t seem to bring myself to get over the fact that he would be named after me/us. Any thoughts?

I don’t want to say her name (because it’s pretty unique!) but I knew a girl whose name was a mix of her parents’. I don’t think it ever bothered her, even though it wasn’t a “real” name; no one ever thought it was weird. That being said, [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] is a well-established name so I don’t think people would ever notice that it just so happened to be a combination of your names. If you’re still uncomfortable with it, here are some suggestions you might like (not sure what your style is like, so bear with me!):

[name_u]Sawyer[/name_u]
[name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Marshall[/name_m]
