Just before our 20 week scan we settled on the name Isaac. I love the name and the fact that having a nsme has helped me to bond with my baby bump.
DH told a couple of workmates who had, let's say a lukewarm reaction to the name plus dmil and dfil don't seem too keen. TBH I don't give a monkey's what anyone else thinks and I'm quite surprised by dh as I thought he was the same.
Anyway, there are a couple of other names we both like: Theo, Fyffe and Seth.
Now I've built a relationship with Isaac, I'm reluctant to change...but secretly really like Fyffe as Isaac seems quite common and to have grown in popularity since I first considered it.
Has anyone else been set on a name throughout pregnancy then changed it? We have a 3 syllable, long, surname so a shorter first name might be better? ?

My best friend was carrying a Dominic all the way through her pregnancy, and when I turned up to congratulate her, I asked 'what does Dominic weigh?' --Response was 7 pound exactly... but his name is Philip.

Simply, you'll just know when baby is in your arms.

Isn't Fyffe what the stickers on bananas say? Never heard it as a name and not that keen. Bollocks to what your DH's workmates think though.

Can Isaac be Zac?

we have an Isaac. It is a great name, never gets shortened (though I like Zac)

it is a family name, and we didn't have another one up our sleeve, but really when you meet your baby, they influence your choice. I met him and decided Yes he really was an Isaac.

But never tell anyone your names in advance, you get lots of odd reactions. Once it is the baby's name, people react differently.
