So I recently found out we’re having a boy which I am super excited about. The only thing I am struggling with is what to call this little lovely. I had a few girls names I really liked but I’m finding it hard to find a boys name I love.
In addition (and the real problem), when just casually talking about names with my family they just shoot down anything I suggest e.g I mentioned I like Rupert and the response was ‘oh no please don’t call my grandchild/nephew that!’. Giggling amongst one another. Similarly I liked Seth during my first pregnancy, which we later found was a girl, and it has become a running joke for 4 years!!! When talking about names they’ll comment ‘not ssssssseth then?’. I know there is nothing wrong with either of those.
Honestly they should just grow up and I have no issues with telling them to, but I don’t want them essentially ‘tainting’ the name we finally choose. My husband and I are actually warming to the name Bruce, but I know exactly how that’ll go down. Ugh!!!
Just looking to vent, anyone in a similar position with family and any thoughts.
Xx
