I have just lost my dear mum to cancer 4 weeks ago and during one of the many long drives to the hospital to see her, a very random lovely name came to me (incidentally nothing resembling my mum's name) it is quite different but, because I'm a teacher I need something that I don't associate with the little darlings in my class.
DH already has a DD, him and his ex had such a long stand off over names that DSD didn't have a name for the first 3 weeks of her life.
The middle part of the name I want, is my sister's name and the forename is something very lovely but different.
I feel a bit selfish trying to get my own way on this one but I just absolutely adore the name and now feel that I couldn't be happy with anything else.
DH hasn't really kicked up a fuss about it and is certainly accepting of the first name I've chosen but it feels a bit unlike the usual dynamic of our RL where we compromise and are fair.
But (my side) I'm the one carrying her for 9 months, hindering my career prospects, going through labour and birth and he already has a DD, whereas this is my first.
I just want to be able to call my daughter what I want but really don't know if Im being unreasonable, please help me out!
Thank you.
