And if so - what was it?
I’m due a little boy in may, I’ve got a long list of names that are all ‘fine’
i don’t love any of them and they all have something that puts me off a bit. For example their popularity, or I know someone with the same name, or I dislike the nn or some other reason.
did you love the name you picked?
or did you pick something ‘ok’ and grow to love it?

Yes, I did love it. It came to me in a vision, and I never seriously considered any other name.

My husband isn’t British and we wanted to use a name that worked in both cultures. So my kids have names that I’d ever imagined I’d use, and I couldn’t use my favourite names. I love their names now. I probably still love my lifelong faves more, but they wouldn’t work for my children as they don’t translate easily.

This is what I’m struggling with. I think there are about 10 names that work in both languages and that I don’t hate. I’ve scoured name sites and I can’t find any more. So I need to choose between those names and they’re all just ok.
