Right so even before I got pg me and DH decided on Cohen for a boy. Since then FIL informed us that this can be seen as insulting to orthodox jews as it is traditionally a surname. So we re-thought it and decided to change the spelling to Cohan. Which from my research is no longer insulting. Well MIL keeps going on at DH that it could cause problems, blah, blah, blah. So DH asked today if I would've happy with Coen. Which sounds the same but is the Dutch version of Conrad (I believe). But I can't help feeling this is yet another compromise and I would prefer to change the whole name. (sorry I didn't mean this to get this long)
So today we've come up with a short list of:
Johan (DH is half Swedish so this is a good option I think)
Caden
Ethan
Riley
And I would like to know what you all think of these (and the Cohen debacle) please.
and please be gentle I'm 35 wks pregnant
