At the moment we are in the same boat as you with a name for our little man.
His middle name is already chosen as it is DH's father's name (DS has my father's name as his middle name). I really, really dislike DH's father's name but have resigned myself to the fact that I don't have much choice in the matter, and in the end it's only a middle name.
There is only one name that DH and I have agreed on so far, I certainly not as much as DS's name. I feel a little guilty about that too...
Yes. My DS1 has a name that I completely dismissed the entire way through my pregnancy. I considered having it as a middle name, but never as a first name because I knew too many losers with that name (his name is James)
But the minute he was born, he just looked like a James. I am glad I named him that because it does suit him so much and now I know an awesome James
that's pretty much how DS got his middle name. we had settled on his first name(ish) but couldn't work out a middle name, but wanted to give him one. after he was born (moment of panic as we realised we would actually HAVE to get ourselves into gear & make a decision), DP went home that night & went through a book of names. similar criteria to bath's - one syllable, a bit uncommon, easy to pronounce etc.
actually - i think we ended up with a middle name that is the same as bath's DS
I don't like Ianto's name. I was hoping I'd be able to change Scott's mind about it in those last eight weeks, but obviously they didn't happen. I like looking at it, it's a good name on paper, but saying it out loud makes me cringe sometimes. If you're talking to me and I bring him up, now you know why I always hesitate before saying it. It's not that I don't want to talk about him, it's that I'd rather his name was something else. If he'd lived, I bet we'd be calling him by his middle name by now, or some nickname unrelated to his real name.
