Our bump is due in seven weeks and after much deliberation, we have decided on Phoebe for a first name. All we need to do now is agree on a middle name and we're sorted.
We found out we were pregnant four days before we went to Las Vegas* to play in the poker tournaments, so I suggested ?Phoebe River? (the river is the name of the fifth card in a game of texas holdem poker).
My family think I'm mad, particularly my outlaws who think names shouldn't be anything more than ordinary i.e "Phoebe Rose" or "Phoebe Louise". Although I appreciate where they are coming from, I think it's nice to have a theme or some kind of reasoning behind a name other than "Just because we like it.....". Her first name fits into the "ordinary" camp, so why not have a slightly quirky middle name?
What does everyone else think? Are my outlaws right or can we have slightly quirky names for the next generation?
*Finding out you're pregnant just before going to Vegas and therefore, spending the holiday sober is not advisable. I saw Vegas in a completely different light.
