Is this really so bad?

Well I like it! It's unusual, it means something to you both and I actually really like the shortened versions as well.

Something I have learnt is not to share what you might call your babies - people rarely agree and then you are left disappointed and confused.

Once a baby is born the name just fits it - no more discussion. Good luck in your choice!

I have to agree here..
I am a lover of unusual names, or at least trying my best to spell them slightly differently..
At the end of the day, as long as YOU & the DAD-TO-BE are happy with the name you pick, that, ultimately IS all that matters

I love the name Algernon and if it didn't clash so badly with our surname would seriously consider using it.
I love the nickname even more - 'Algy' - and I believe that is the correct way to spell it (not Algie)

I have no advise sorry as our baby is now a week old and we are having the same problem - DH is very into a name, and I`m not so much.....guess I`ll have to start a thread too
