I have a name in mind for DD2 (if the bump happens to be a girl), both first and middle names. Dh likes them too, and they sit nicely with DD1s name (although that isnt a pre-requisite), however I am anticipating the reaction from those around us, as the first name, whilst top twenty "in its day" is most definetly a marmite name now.
Dhs family are very conservative and all kids dating back since records began have been top ten solid classics. Except for a rogue obscure family member named after a truly excellent Sting song. Im going to use her as my back up when the LO arrives and we get face.
So, in short, should I even be worrying about this....does the wider family's opinion matter?
