My friend also had a difficult C-section, and she didn’t feel like her brain capacity was fully functioning for a few days after delivery. Your wife might be in the same boat, so I thought I’d bring it up in case it’s hard for her to properly think about names. If you have to wait to name him, it’s not a problem at all! Better that than the mom having name regret.
[name_f]My[/name_f] thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Most people are not familiar with the meaning of particular names, however the name [name_m]Peter[/name_m], the rock, is the exception. It sounds like your new son was “your rock” that you clung to through the ordeal with your wife. It would be very meaningful to you if [name_m]Peter[/name_m] was part of his name.
