Hello Everyone!
This is my first attempt at posting so I hope that I do it correctly. I am expecting our second child (rainbow baby in [name_u]March[/name_u]) It’s another boy and I am completely lost on what to name this child and my husband and I cannot agree on anything!
Our first child’s name is [name_m]Zane[/name_m] [name_m]Wellington[/name_m] (my husband and I met in [name_m]New[/name_m] Zealand so his name pays homage to that)
I am more of a unique/uncommon name person (liking things like [name_m]Xander[/name_m] and [name_f]Nova[/name_f]) and am very into what names mean. My husband’s votes have been more traditional and common ([name_m]Nicholas[/name_m], [name_f]Katelyn[/name_f])
I would like a name that goes somewhat with [name_m]Zane[/name_m] and means something to us… as our new baby is a rainbow baby I have thought of using names that mean courage, bravery, hope ect…
My husband likes nicknames and I don’t (ex. naming him [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] but calling him [name_m]Xander[/name_m]) We also thought of using [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] (a little common for me these days but my mother in law enjoys making up songs… I cannot listen to her call him [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] oxen free for the remainder of our lives… so that’s out. Please help! I need this baby to have a name…
Thanks!
