Wobbling on chosen names.

We don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but both me and the OH made the decision a long time ago to choose two boys names and two girls names, then make the final decision when the baby is born to see which name 'suits' it best. Pretty rational and sane so far. Boys names are Luca and Sunny. Girls are Reenie and Georgie.
Now I'm 39 weeks and I am wobbling over these names we've both liked and have had chosen for ages. Trouble is, I feel bad telling the OH I might have changed my mind, as Reenie is a name we chose together in memory of his Mum (Irene).
I'm sure it's just my hormones and I will be wobbling about something else tomorrow, but argggghhh!
Any advice or opinions, please??

We knew we were having a boy, narrowed it down to 2 names for weeks before he was born. He ended up with a name we had ruled out early in the pregnancy!
I love Georgie, and Luca is my favourite of your boys names.

Luca is great, sonny (not sunny) is good, georgie is cute (short for...?) but reenie is awful, sorry. It's an old lady nickname. Call her XXX Irene surname by all means but reenie is so bad.

I would use Georgia Irene, nn Georgie.

Like Luca. Sorry, but Sunny sounds like a girl's name to me.

Luca is lovely
Sunny is not my cup of tea for a boy, I prefer Sonny too.

Georgie is OK, a bit 'cutsey' and I would use Georgia/Georgina and nn Georgie.
Reenie is not my thing but the sentiment is lovely, what about using it as a middle name: Georgia Irene? Or just use Irene as first name?

Georgie Irene is a lovely name. Then you could still call her Reenie later on if you decide it fits her personality.

issypiggle · 11/04/2013 21:12

i like luca and georgie.

you could go for georgie and have irene rather than reenie as the middle name?

Flojobunny · 11/04/2013 21:09

Luca is lovely, don't like sunny spelt like that.
Love both your girls names rene wouldn't be pronounced as reenie tho would it. Reenie is much nicer.

Why not just give birth and exclaim loudly 'oh my, she is SUCH a Georgie don't you think?' He will probably be in such a state of euphoria that he will just agree.

Or do what we did and change our minds completely once they were born Grin

Luca is cute for a boy and for a girl I love Reenie,although I would be inclined to spell it Rene
