Husband and I have discussed we will TTC later this year. One of the top contenders for our son was [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] if he were a girl and we still both love it. I have liked the since I saw “The Help”. To me it has a mid-century vibe, a dash of southern charm, international variants, easy to pronounce, not as frilly as like [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] or [name_f]Carolina[/name_f], not super popular.
It’s also the name of the step daughter of my co worker. Typically I wouldn’t care. She didn’t even name the child and even if she did she doesn’t own the name. Here’s the juicy part:
When we announced we what we were using (most of the regulars on here know my son’s name so I won’t post) she made some comments that he would get bullied. A few months after my son was born, she found she was having a boy and announced they were using the nn that my son goes by claiming that her four year old son thought of it out of the blue and she would brag about it daily. Her story had a few discrepancies, and of course I just wanted her to admit the name I chose grew on her, but she never did. I left it because I figured after maternity leave she would prefer to talk about the baby versus his name.
Anyways there is a pretty good chance we will be moving in the next year or so, but I would have contact people in the office and fear using [name_f]Eugenia[/name_f] may look vindictive. What do other berries think? Any alternative name suggestions…I like [name_f]Ouida[/name_f], [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Ursula[/name_f]. hubs isn’t sold. He likes things like [name_f]Yvonne[/name_f] and I am not a fan.
If you made it through this post, I’m impressed
