Hi all Smile

DS2 decided to make an early appearance on Christmas Day! For the majority of the pregnancy he was going to be named Felix Caspar. Given the date of his arrival we decided to swap the names, but I'm having doubts - I'm slightly annoyed DH was pressuring me so much right after giving birth to make a decision (he wasn't trying to be mean, I think just excited and wanted to announce Hmm) I'm considering changing his name to something a little less 'out there'....already on the ward we're getting the 'that's....nice' response which is worrying me. What do you all think, is it too 'odd'? I love that it has the connection to Christmas but I also don't want the poor boy to hate us when he gets older. It would be slightly awkward to change as all family/friends have been told, but not the end of the world. We've agreed he doesn't look like a Felix, other 'safer' options we had are Hugo, Arthur or Alfred. Help!

Caspar is lovely. I much prefer it to Felix but as Felix has a lovely meaning I think it's a great middle name. Congratulations!
