Your thoughts on DH's name suggestions please

[feeb]

Love Max the best

But sad feeb said Lachlan and Hamish were bully names... I already have a Lachlan (who is the sweetest 13month old) and If I have another boy, Hamish was our top pick

I don't think they are bully names DH does so said no I can't use!! I love all of those names and kept asking for them over and over getting same reply!!

Aaarrgghh!! You girls have too much influence! Now every time I read a positive reply I think 'oh yeah, maybe that's the one I'll go with'... Then change my mind with the next reply!

Heath - I like the connotations. That it's a plant name ( which DD has too), and to me it sounds kind of gentle and kind. But the sound of the actual word when you call it out... it's all wrong to me. Heeeeeeeeth!

Owen - I like (ish) for the sound of the word but in my mind I can see little Owen being a bit nerdy and withdrawn. I've only every known one Owen and he got picked on heaps at school.

Max - I like it, it's just not MY son's name IYKWIM? I'm a bit of a hippie and it seems somehow harsh and a bit 'mainstream'.

Devin - for all the reasons given before... just no.

I just wish he would come up with something else that clicks with me. I'm not holding out hope though 'cause I've been through our whole baby name book and pulled out EVERYTHING I like, and he's not keen on anything I suggest. I'm beginning to think that I just sabotage these names as he seems determined to come up with something independently and not just agree with me. Siiigh. Lets hope this bubba hangs in there for a few more weeks (getting nervous though, as DD was born at 35 weeks) and something clicks.

Many, many thanks for all your input lovely ladies. xoxo

How about Maxwell or Maximillian then? They're the long forms of Max and not used as often as the nickname these days.

Just so long as your last name isn't Eddison or House, Maxwell is a great name. Then you can also use Well as a nickname, which is what I call my little one.

Thanks FB. I told DH that I do sit better with Maxwell (though still not entirely sure) but he doesn't like it. Max and only Max apparently.
