So this name is one that’s been on my ‘baby names’ list since I was about 17! (Please don’t judge I’ve just always been excited to be a momma and name my children)
It’s a modernised version of a classic name I’d say. Let’s say it’s Billy (William being the classic name of this)
Always loved this name, however DH’s dad and older brother are called the classic name.
DH’s brother is pretty done having kids and has had 3 girls and has 2 stepsons. Him and his wife haven’t expressed an interest in having more kids and stated they don’t want anymore which I know doesn’t rule them out completely
Is it unreasonable if we call our child this? I’ve always loved the name, DH loves it but feels like he needs to ask his brother can he use it? As his brother has his fathers name and BIL and wife did mention once if they had a boy it would’ve been this name as it’s a modern version of his
Of course I can find another name, just want to know would it be so wrong if we called our son this?
DH did say on the flip side he’d have the modernised version of his grandads name! So it should be okay, but he still feels he needs to ask his brother. But at the same time we don’t want to telly anyone DS name until he is born
Help?!!
