I was due dc4 today and still no sign but the closer it gets to christmas the more my dp is doubting our boys choice of name. It is Christian, which i absolutely adore, but do you think as he gets older people will tease him for being born at christmas and being called Christian? We dont actually know if we are having a boy, but no christmas issues with girls name!

I have a Christian born within a month of Christmas and you are the first person we've ever heard make the connection bewteen the two.

My Christian loves his name.

I thought you were going to say santa

I think that if you love the name you should use it. Obviously it has Christmas connotations but there are are also plenty of Christians who have birthdays at other times of the year. Anyway, it will soon get shortened to Chris.

Good luck with everything x

I think Christian is a lovely name, anyway how many people really know when you birthday is?!

I thought you were going to say Noel . I like Christian, I do see your point, but I think it is fine. Maybe reconsider if he is actually born on the 25th.

And best wishes for the birth
