DH and I haven’t been able to agree on a name and I’m starting to panic… I’m due in 2 days!!!
I wanted to pick a name from the minute the stick turned pink, but DH thought we should wait… Well, I’m someone who needs LOTS of time to make big decisions… I mean, I can’t even buy an outfit without having buyers remorse, let alone name a human! Now we’re out of time and I’m so worried about picking a name under pressure.
Here’s where we agree: our last name is long, and difficult to pronounce, so we both want a name that’s recognizable, short, and easy to say/spell. Last name starts with G.
DH really only likes one name: [name_m]John[/name_m] (it’s a little TOO plain for my taste…)
I like [name_m]Luke[/name_m] and [name_m]William[/name_m] (nn [name_m]Will[/name_m]) but keep doubting myself, and DH says they are just “fine”. Also I hate the nn [name_m]Willy[/name_m] and don’t know how to stop people from using it! We also considered [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] but we don’t love it either… If we were having a girl, we’d be all set: she’d either be [name_f]Isabel[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], or [name_f]Zoe[/name_f].
Also looking for first/middle name combo’s. If we’re using a more traditional first name, I really like something a little more unique for the middle, like: [name_m]Asher[/name_m], [name_m]Holden[/name_m], [name_u]Indiana[/name_u], etc.
DH’s family is full of boys (he has 4 brothers, and 11 male cousins), and a lot of the names we like are already taken… Some of these include [name_u]Sam[/name_u] (my all-time favourite boy’s name, but there’s a tragic history in the family so it would be in very poor taste if we copied it), [name_m]Maks[/name_m], [name_u]Luca[/name_u], and [name_m]Alec[/name_m].
Suggestions, please?! I’m worried our little guy will be nameless!
