DH and I are very very unexpectedly expecting twin girls, I'm 39, he is 48. He already has one child, she's an adult now, and well I'd never say this to her face but I think her name is just awful (first name is a country which should never have been a name (ie not Georgia or India) then two middle names which scream I want to prove how middle class I am!!) As far as I know she likes her name so that's all that matters. The issue is, his name suggestions for these babies are similar in style.
So far he loves
India
Cherry?? Yes really
Dakota
Indiana
Blossom (though obviously not with cherry is what he'd follow this up with)
Teddy
Saskia
Alaska
I like
Madeleine
Florence
Isabella
Sophia
Elizabeth
Katherine
Victoria
So as you can see our styles are worlds apart, he thinks my choices are boring and "done to death" I think his are downright strange for a child.
I know I should have expected this considering his daughters name but I just thought maybe that was more his ex than him.
FWIW while he is comfortably off, his daughter attended a state school in the north as will our children so will likely not be surrounded by equally, interesting? Names.
Am I being unfair are some of his names useable? Any ideas that could bridge our Grand Canyon sized gap in styles? (gosh if I say that to him he will no doubt add Arizona to the list!)
