. . . to wonder if baby Blanche was ever born?

[squoosh]

There was a thread a few months ago about a woman who got to choose their first born's name under the proviso that her husband could name any future daughter Blanche, after his grandmother I think.

She was then outraged that he expected her to stick to her word and agree to call their daughter Blanche.

Does anyone know what happened. She got her knickers in a big knotty twist when people sided with her husband.

I remember that one,it was one of the first AIBU threads I read on here . Jes come back that woman and tell us what happened.

Yes not jes.

I remember that one Wasnt the son called Jacob because its what she wanted,then she was expecting the girl AKA Blanche

Over the course of the thread MNers came around and began to love the name Blanche. But I don't remember the OP keeping us informed of how her feelings were developing.

I remember. I'd be interested to know too!

I remember, yes her ds was Jacob. Her dh really disliked the name but she used it any way

Oh yeah, that was a great thread.

I was thinking about the name Blanche approvingly the other day, but had forgotten where my affection for the name originated :o

Didn't see the thread, but I'm in exactly the same situation! DH mentioned a (horrendous) name early in our relationship he'd always dreamt of using for his first son. In the first flush of love (and not really thinking it through or realising he meant it) I agreed. Now 3 years later we are married and TTC and I am praying that it will be a girl!!!

I remember that one Would love to know how it turned out.

Novia... What is the name?!

Novia - there's no way he can hold you to that.

Ah but that's different Novia, you haven't said 'Yes you can use that name but only if I can call another child Sparkly Unicorn/spend the night with Ryan Gosling/tell your mother I hate her/. . . . . '

You can say you only agreed under circumstances of temporary insanity, which is what the fist flush of love is really

Looks like that was the only thread op posted on with that name, we will probably never know

Ha! fiRst flush.

fist flush is a completely different thread!

No - I'm here! I've posted before (though not lots admittedly!)

I'm sorry guys - it's BEYOND horrendous and my DH is absolutely inflexible on the issue...!

...Ayrton!

sobs...!

I would hazard a guess and say that JakeyMom didn't call her Blanche,probably threw a ma-hoo-sive strop and called her...........oh I don't know, what goes with Jacob?

I'm with your DH Novia... Fabulous name!!!

sorry!

He can't be inflexible, that's not allowed!

Naming a child is a joint process not a contest to see who can be most obstinate. Does his attitude not piss you off, like really, really piss you off?

Novia in tribute to Senna?

Yep sugarice, he's Spanish and a Grand Prix geek.

The worse thing is that I agreed thinking it was Spanish (fair enough, goes with the surname) and only this year realised it's Brazilian - so even his family think he's nuts and it's a weird name.

Poor (future, currently imaginary) kid!

I am in this situation but in reverse.

DH named our first dd and I get the next one.

We are having a Jenson or an Eden

He hates both

He can't be inflexible Novia! It's your baby too!

squoosh - the problem is that I promised! At the time I nodded and smiled thinking "we'll never last!"

Oh Novia I feel for you, my husband wanted Ayrton too. I told him I would allow Lewis after Hamilton and he was happy with that luckily.

But we are having a girl
