Hi
Me and my hubby been trying for a baby for a while now , and we were talking names but this morning on way to work he said we can’t use his dads name as his sister has used it and she said no it could be a shorter version of it .
As a family there is no love lost between us but this has really annoyed me .
The name has always been my choice for a boy even before I met my hubby and I’m angry that she thinks she can dictate to me what I the baby .

I’ve wanted the name James Edward since I was 19 so a long time ,
It’s the fact that she has said I can’t use it .

What's the name/what kind of names do you like, could you use it as a middle name instead??
If your not pregnant, you may have changed your mind about the name by the time you are
