Hi Ladies,
I'm 36+4 with my first baby, who I know is going to be a girl. I'm in the lucky position that everyone around me having baby's is having/has had boys so I basically can pick any name I want without upsetting anyone, I am also the only female in my generation of the family. My problem with names is I was bullied at school from age 7 right up to 16 so a lot of the names we came up with have negative connotations for me.
DP and I have been discussing names since finding out the gender at 21weeks. DP has had his heart set on calling Isobel, we're not scottish and live no where near scotland, but DP loves the name and has done since he read it in a book aged 18. I'm not so sure though, but can't come up with any alternatives I like. I've never met anyone with the name Isabelle/Isobel or any other spelling of the name, so from that point of view it's a good choice considering it's supposedly common.
I also want to use Marie for a middle name, and DP thinks this works. The middle name is non-negotiable because it was my grandmothers first name, she died in 2011.
What are peoples thoughts? Should I just let DP use the name and get used to it as she grows up? Any other suggestions for name?
