His rules include:

No Js
No Hs
No name of any living relative so no David, Robert, Alexander
Ideally Scottish
Ideally something we can shorten but nothing too long (don't even get me started on the stupidity of this demand)

He's driving me demented.

This is what you do in this situation:

Choose the name you want.

He kicks off, you say - well, I'm very happy for you to suggest a name I like more! Then look at him expectantly.

Start referring to the baby as the name, adding the caveat that you are of course still waiting for any possible alternative to be suggested, but it seems as if your DH can't be too unhappy about the name you've selected, as he isn't suggesting any others...

soontobeslendergirl · 18/07/2013 10:29

she said "preferablly Scottish" so I am guessing that gives licence for some other choices.......like Stephen :o Wink

soontobeslendergirl · 18/07/2013 10:31

sorry, "ideally scottish" - :)

ThatsSoVanquish · 18/07/2013 19:39

What?? Didn't you get the memo. We have taken the name "Stephen" for our own. You may keep Keith, Norman and Jeffrey.

moastina · 18/07/2013 21:07

I love Murdo (Mo)!
Sorry if it has already been suggested above.

soontobeslendergirl · 18/07/2013 21:20

Ha ha thatso, I'm Scottish too. I think unfortunately Keith is ours, but we can pass on the other two without guilt. :o
