My husband and I had been trying for a baby for a few years, after having IVF, we were lucky enough to fall pregnant the first time. We now have our beautiful baby boy.
My husband is half French half Italian and I am British. My husband has been adamant from the beginning that the babies first name go well in both English and French. I have not liked any of the names that he does and vice versa. My husbands middle name is Blaise which I love and would like to use as a first name but he would like to use it as a middle name. He really likes the Henry for a first name but I don't particularly like it. Now when I have said I wouldn't mind Blaise Henry at first he agreed, but after trying the name he has said he doesn't feel it works and want to us the name Blaise as a middle name to continue as a tradition. My father is welsh and I quite like names like Owen etc. but this won't work since he wants both French English sounding names. So where do I compromise? I have chosen the name blaise because, as he has requested goes well in both English and French, I like that it's unique and quite masculine. Please help, my son is now 8 days old
