davisellu - I dont really want to use [name_m]David[/name_m] as a fn as it is both my grandfather’s names and my aunts would probably get upset at hearing his name (Althought my grandfathers both got called mn’s [name_m]John[/name_m] & [name_m]Fred[/name_m] my nan still called my grandad [name_m]Dave[/name_m]/[name_m]David[/name_m] when he wouldn’t listen to her so it would be too emotional), Same with [name_m]John[/name_m] being a fn as it would make my boyfriend’s family upset. I dont mind [name_m]Edward[/name_m] but It wouldnt feel right using it as a fn. - I love [name_m]Henry[/name_m] & [name_u]Theo[/name_u] but I wanted other options as well (I expect we will come back to those).
Like:- [name_u]Seth[/name_u] (I will ask about this one), [name_m]Philip[/name_m] (we both like this but my friends boyfriend is called this so I dunno if we could use it), [name_m]Grant[/name_m] (I will ask about this one also), [name_m]Luke[/name_m] (i’m not keen on this one I like it as a nn for [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] though), [name_m]Ross[/name_m] (I like this one but I will ask my boyfriend), [name_m]William[/name_m] (I love this name but I thought it would be too long with [name_m]Edward[/name_m] & [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] as MN’s).
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t Like:- [name_m]Eli[/name_m] (Really over used in the UK), [name_u]Elias[/name_u] (I’v never heard this one before but i’m not too keen on), [name_m]Gideon[/name_m] (I’m not keen on this it looks odd), [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] (I like this but he doesnt so its out now :-(), [name_m]Linus[/name_m] (Again I dont line the look of it), [name_m]Marcus[/name_m] (I like this one feels a bit dated though), [name_m]Simon[/name_m] (Although I do like this one might a bit weird naming a kid after a ex boyfriend of mine), [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] (I’m not keen on this one as I only have heard it on girls), [name_m]Victor[/name_m] (Feels a bit old again), [name_m]Bruce[/name_m] (Again Feels a bit old), [name_m]Carl[/name_m] (I new a [name_m]Karl[/name_m] at school and he wasnt very nice so its put me off this name), [name_m]Leo[/name_m] (Too popular in the UK), [name_m]Nigel[/name_m] (It feels a bit old), [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] (I like this but I dont like it with the surname ending in ER aswell), [name_m]Paul[/name_m] (I cant use this its my boyfriends dads name and he is not spoke of), [name_m]Trent[/name_m] (Doesn’t feel right with our name style).
