I am 14.5 today and obviously very early to be thinking names, but it's taken a long time to get to this point so we pretty much have names picked out.
DH loves Ted for a boy, which I do think is very cute and goes well with our surname. It is also a 'family' name on his side, which I like the idea of (am quite traditional). However it would be just Ted, no longer name. I am generally of the opinion (for myself, not judging anyone else) that I'd like my child(ren) to have 'full' names and go by a shortening. In this case the options are Edward, Edmund, Theodore....none of which DH is keen on
I don't feel passionately strongly about this and neither does DH so we could both live with the other's suggestion but just not sure what to do.
This could all be academic anyway as we may have a girl.
I am wondering if anyone else has been in a similar position and what did you do? Did you regret it? Middle name almost certainly James for a boy by the way.
