I am feeling rather foolish and I'm sorry this is so garbled (baby brain).
For the past near-decade I've known what girls' name I would pick for my first daughter, and now, with two months to go, I'm having a crisis!
The name is actually my grandmother's name, though I decided I liked it after seeing a character in a film with the same name (), which was the first time I'd kind of appreciated it as a name in its own right iyswim. Anyway, I got pissed and told my gran that I'd name my daughter after her and neither she nor the rest of my family has forgotten. It's one of those old lady style names that is becoming more popular again.
I like the name and my gran is very fun and glamorous. However, she also has her negative side - she's very needy, manipulative, selfish, demanding, etc etc - and I'm worried about giving my child a name which most of my family probably have mixed feelings about. Argh. DH is non-committal, but I might quiz him some more. We've never really discussed other girls' names, so I think it's come out of leftfield for him a bit.
The alternative I guess is to have my gran's name as a middle name and find something else as a first name ... At the moment I like Agatha and Agnes (though not Aggie), Martha, Magda - any more suggestions along those lines?
Or do I just go with the name we've had in midn for the past few years anyway?
