Hello everyone.
Our baby boy is due in 9 weeks and we are looking for a new name for him. We were initially set on Jack, as a tribute to my grandpa, but I made the mistake of letting it slip to my parents and not only did they tell the whole world, but then my aunt found it appropriate to broadcast the name on Facebook. I couldn't stop crying. This may sound immature of me but the name feels somehow tarnished, like it's been vulgarised, thrown out there without our consent. We may try to keep it but it's unlikely. This precious boy is not even out of my womb yet that people can casually talk about him... It's like he's been robbed of his entrance, of his right to get a name reveal. I wish I felt differently and could get over this disappointment, but it's unlikely.
Anyway. My mistake, lesson learnt. My husband is Scottish and we live in Scotland.
I would love a name:
- of Scottish or Gaelic origin
- with maybe a literary, medieval or historical ring to it.
- I'm not desperate for originality, but admittedly I wouldn't say no to something unique.
Thank you in advance for your help! ❤
