jnow, same. It drove my mother absolutely crazy. It's not up for debate, and comments are unwelcome. We have a contender for our girl name, but no IRL people will know about it.
Thank you! We were actually thinking about going with the full girl version, Griselda because it's a German name but my German family talked me out of it. Lol
Dh REALLY wants to make this little one a junior and give it his name. I am so completely set against that! ><
Soo.. at the moment, I've agreed to switch it around which would make his first name Michael. Awesome name.. but I'm still hesitant because it is so common in our family. My brother, my nephew's middle name, my step-father-in-law, my step-brother-in-law... I think I'm missing one. So, just in siblings (step or not) and grandparents.. way used.

I like Griselda but I suppose I could see how it might feel like a hefty name. Zelda is fantastic though so you just can't go wrong.
PS you just say the word and I poof all these names lol
missi How would YH feel about using a different (not so common in your extended family) name as the first name, then using his name as the middle name?
I only suggested flipping the names because he is sooo determined that his name be reused. So far, no go on even considering anything but his name, or the flip of his name.
We're team blue, and boy names were so amazingly difficult for us. We've been settled for a while, and I'm pretty sure we'll go with it, but I'd like to have a secondary just in case.
DH refuses to use that name yet though. I don't know why. And we're not telling anyone IRL, since we will reveal the gender, he wants to keep some sort of surprise. I am honestly majorly ok with that since the first few names we ran past my MIL, she out-freaking-right said she hated them.
I'm in agreement with those keeping the names a secret. Sadly, my dh isn't doing very well with that. Luckily, my mil didn't ruin it. My ex's parents ruined our boy name when I was pg with my first. They wanted a grandson so badly that they started calling the baby "Noah" (which was my ex's first choice).
Phewy on them, the baby turned out be a girl and is named Eve Morgan
We will reveal the sex when we find out but will wait until he or she is born to announce name. We did this with DD and liked it! Also we have time to change our minds or decide when we see baby.
madameovary I like that one - H and I do too, but I didn't like Gwen as a nn
Thanks! I figure she can pick whatever she wants as an adult.
I should clarify that I don't think the SOUND of Gwen is bad, it's just an association thing for me! I know a Gwen I'm not as fond of, but if I met a cute little Gwen it would break that association
Im on your bench . and @justinslovo. My name is sort of close to yours justinslovo and I always hated not being able to shorten it. My nn's were all so stupid.
Boy names are another story. I have no freaking clue and I am going to wait until we know what we are having to think too hard about that. My H looooves the name Lincoln but I just cant get on board. Not only was I a huge Linkin Park fan back in the day so it feels weird, but my H has a highfalutin name of the same era. I'd feel like Im living with the founding fathers or some shit and we're Canadian haha. Plus also I am a big fan of the Legend of Zelda franchise so I would feel weird about calling my kid Link.
I don't think we can keep our names a secret because we need to make sure our boy name won't upset my ILs. Otherwise I don't think we'd tell anyone...or not very many people. A lot of friends have kept the baby name a secret successfully so I know it's doable.

Because I'm nosey...why do you need to make sure the boy name won't upset your ILs?

It's the name of FIL's brother who passed away a few years ago.

DH and I love the games too, early in our relationship we bonded over playing threw all of them. But, I've always loved the name Zelda and had a great aunt with the name so I'm using it(if it's a girl).
