OP here with Christmas name change
Where exp is from is a difficult question, depending on whether you believe life begins at conception or birth (I know, I know) because exmil is South, Exfil is North (or the other way around) so depending on who you ask exp is either from the North where he was conceived or the the South where he was born (or the other way round) I don't know where he was actually born as I switched off and learnt never to ask again. Religion and politics, don't discuss them around inlaws! I think it maybe C.Down as there was some flag waving at the parade this year.
Which is part of the reason why we can't use my favourite boys name - Derry. "Oh like C.Derry?" Says mil. If I say Yes I am glared at by someone for not saying LondonDerry, so I can't win. It offends someone.
I know it sounds stupid but politics and religion run deep among them (you should've seen the fallout over Christenings - CofE or Catholic!)
Which is why I can't have the name Rhurui (spelt wrong I know) as it is 'orange' whatever the hell that means.
I might just go for Paddy and have done with it!
