Hey berries,
I really need some help/comments on these equally loved names. My partner isn’t very helpful with the boys names for this baby.
I have daughter from a previous partner. Most of the time she’s called [name_m]Ely[/name_m] as some people struggle with her full name usually calling her Alira. Her middle name is [name_f]Michalina[/name_f] after my grandmother.
My current partner and I have a daughter named [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] [name_f]Anastazja[/name_f]. She goes by Raf and my daughter calls her feena.
So anyway, here are the boys names we can’t decide on.
[name_m]Calum[/name_m] - a name I’ve loved for a very long time. Partner said it’s growing on him. NN would be [name_u]Cal[/name_u] or [name_f]Lumi[/name_f].
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m] - loved this name since I met a [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] when I was very young and always thought I’d use it someday. Partner said it sounds like an old lady name but he likes the biblical/Hebrew part of it. NN would be [name_m]Jos[/name_m].
[name_m]Jakub[/name_m] - only recently started liking this name as it’s a name that fit for both of us though I’m not too keen on how popular it is in my part of the world. NN would be [name_m]Jak[/name_m], Kub or [name_m]Kubo[/name_m]. (Polish NN for [name_m]Jakub[/name_m] is usually [name_m]Kuba[/name_m] which is cute too!) But I’m not in love with it as much as [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] or [name_m]Calum[/name_m].
Franciszek - this would be middle name option only and it was my grandfathers name. [name_u]Francis[/name_u] is also another option.
[name_m]Aleksandr[/name_m] - middle name option only, polish version of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] which is a family name.
Also, I have a Polish background which is why my daughters have polish middle names and why we chose the [name_m]Jakub[/name_m] spelling over the [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] spelling and why it’s Franciszek over [name_u]Francis[/name_u].
I also usually like uncommon names that are familiar enough to not be too weird or odd.
My partner prefers Hebrew names and really common names like [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. we struggled to find boys names we both liked but he doesn’t really want to give other names a try.
So there are a few name options for us:
[name_m]Calum[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]
[name_m]Jakub[/name_m] Franciszek
[name_m]Josiah[/name_m] Franciszek
[name_m]Calum[/name_m] [name_m]Aleksandr[/name_m]
[name_m]Calum[/name_m] Franciszek
[name_m]Jakub[/name_m] [name_m]Aleksandr[/name_m]
There’s also another BIG issue. I currently have some medical issues going on so I’ve been told to have seperate names. One for a baby that would be living and one for a baby that would be stillborn. This is another reason we are struggling to find a name for this baby.
I was thinking [name_m]Calum[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] if he’s stillborn cause I still get to use two names I love that my partner wouldn’t be upset about me ‘using up’
And [name_m]Jakub[/name_m] Franciszek if he makes it through the pregnancy.
But at the same time I would really love to have a [name_m]Calum[/name_m] and [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] too
I need thoughts and opinions on this one and any other name suggestions to go with [name_m]Ely[/name_m] and [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] would be great too.
It’s stressing me out more than it should and I’m still not over the fact that I’ve been told to have two names picked out in case things don’t work out.
Please help.
