What do you think? I love it but DH says he is not wild about it but will go with it if it's really what I've set my mind on... I'm worried this means he hates it! Arghhh. So AIBU or should I just take him at face value? I've said he can pick 2nd name ;-) we have 2 children already, one has Irish name (dh is Irish) and one non Irish. I am not keen for another irish name as think our middle child will feel left out and we are in UK.

We have 3 weeks till c section...

I really like it. If my ds had been a girl he would have been called Heidi. I don't know any in rl either.

I really like it, I just wish Kerry Katona had not used it, she annoys me.

He is only looking through the Irish baby names book... He likes cara and Alicia, I find they don't flow too easily. It's more that I've been calling her Heidi in my head since the 20 wk scan (I knew I shouldn't seeing as we hadn't fully agreed) so finding it hard to think differently at this late stage. I also like sasha, he really doesn't. His reasoning against Heidi is that it is too German (we have no connection) and hard sounding and that we have a friend called Heidi (although we have really lost tough and not spoken other than fb for a few years). Thanks for your inputs!

Are there any more names which your DH prefers and you also like?

Lovely name. If you love it and your dh doesn't hate it, go for it.
