Good morning Brew

DS2 will be here in a few weeks, really need to decide by Tuesday as we've got the interior designers coming round design the nursery.

Which do you like better?
Prince
Or
Kwame.

Thanks.

DS1 is named Major? You should definitely go for Thatcher.

Or Tom.

I prefer Kwame. I'm not sure how much the meaning name matters. Many names have meanings and most do not apply to the person. Said, "born on a Saturday" is quite specific :)

although I preferred Kwame anyway, I think I would avoid Prince given your eldest son's name - I am imagining sibling battles where they argue about who out ranks who.

Hey

Yes I know that Kwame is a Ghanaian name Smile I am not Ghanaian and neither is DP he is from a Nigerian background but he likes the name Kwame.

And I could just imagine in a few years time DS2 asking if he was born in a Saturday.

@SonicBoomBoom - It's pronounced KWAA-Mey

@Believeitornot - Because we need to personalise things.

Another name that a crossed off the list was Kwesi.

DS1 is named Major as much as Prince would match I think it would be a little too much.

You're having interior designers round to decorate a nursery??

Why do you have to decide by the time they get here? Surely everything has been sorted? And the name (if you're planning on putting it in the wall or something can come later?)

Prince.

TanteRose · 21/09/2017 07:22

just checked and there are loads of great names for each day of the week!
My Ghanaian friend is called Kofi, so he must have been born on a Friday Smile

Believeitornot · 21/09/2017 07:21

Are you Ghanaian? Not saying you can't use the name Kwame, just saying that it has a very specific meaning.

And why do you need to decide for the sake of decorating.... What happens if baby is born and you don't like the name as it doesn't suit.....

AuntieStella · 21/09/2017 07:20

Yes, I should have asked, what would you do if he didn't turn up on a Saturday.

Use the relevant day name for that day?

If you're not prepared to do that, then Prince wouid be the better choice (but it's not a name I like, along with all other honorifics)

Ummmmgogo · 21/09/2017 07:19

I like Prince better but they are both nice.

SonicBoomBoom · 21/09/2017 07:18

How do you pronounce Kwame?

ASqueakingInTheShrubbery · 21/09/2017 07:18

Kwame.

TanteRose · 21/09/2017 07:18

just googled Kwame and its of Ghanian origin, and means a boy born on a Saturday.
Nice name, as long as you have Ghanian heritage and your son is born on a Saturday.

Prince - not so much...

AuntieStella · 21/09/2017 07:17

Kwame
