Hi all,
Dc1 is due in 5 days and DH and I just can't agree on a boys name- I'm so worried that I can't sleep- worried that when the baby arrives, if its a boy, that my first emotion will be dissappointment because I can't have 'my' name.
Girls name was easy. If its a boy I would like to name him after my father (Peter)- DH says that it's great for a middle name, but a child should have it's 'own' first name. I've just always dreamed of having a son called Peter. We talked about it months ago, and even though it wasn't exactly what DH wanted, he agreed "because it meant so much to me" - now he's back tracking.
He says I'm being stubborn for not considering anything else. I've tried- I'm trying!- I spend hours looking at baby name lists- at a push I don't really mind Adam, but it's just not what I want. I'm worried that if I don't name a son after my dad then ill always regret it.
Do I sound spoiled / melodramatic? Does a child really need it's 'own' name?
I can't seem to find perspective- I had tummy cramps earlier on, and was so worried that baby was on its way- I don't feel I'm ready yet because of the name issue
