hmm struggling!!

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

DS's name we picked after about 10 minutes when I was 14w pg. It wasn't my first choice but it was in my list of 10 and the only one in that list DH liked. The middle names took a simple "A or J for the first one?" "J" "OK, you pick the second one, a name from your family." "I like H." "OK, **** **** **** it is then?" "Sounds good."

We then tried to pick a girl's name.

Bear in mind this was a 5-hour car journey with nowt else to do.

The next day we had narrowed it down to 3 (of the five thousand that I came up with and one DH did). Then DH didn't like two of the three and wanted a "for long" name for Ellie.

Two months later, there was no "for long" name. DH did come up with another name, Tamsin, that was passable but I wasn't too keen. Tamsin Zaidie Ellie would give the initials TZE too and that's a bit too fly-like for me.

Then, another 2 months later, DH went back to one of the three that we both liked four months previously.

We didn't have the full girl's name sorted out when I gave birth and DS was overdue by everyone's reckoning (2-13 days, depending on whose date you use).

Oh, and DH forgot Liebling's name all the time too. Not when he was actually here, just when I was pg. "What are we calling the baby again?" Drove me bonkers. Then he decided he didn't like the girl's name the month I was due and that wasn't on... he couldn't think of a better in three minutes so I wasn't going to help come up with ANOTHER new one.
