Only very hypothetical as am only a "little bit" pregnant, but I'd like opinions on a potential combo. Be as blunt as you wish.
Am just over a month pregnant and have an (almost) two-month-old son - thank you Levonelle ... not. Given that I was convinced he was a girl right from the off, the ultrasound said girl and we didn't learn he was a lad until several minutes after birth when they took off the blanket for the standard inspection to be confronted with enormous boy equipment, I'm not going to be placing much on my instinctive leanings - but nevertheless am getting a "girl" inkling. Our son was going to be an Anna and other favourites were Hayley, Rosie and Claire. However this time around both DP and I were instantly drawn to Gemma. We were in Paris yesterday and had a brief name discussion at the park and eerily both had exactly the same name in mind - Gemma. Down-to-earth, pretty and goes nicely with the boyfriend's surname.
The unarguable catch is that our son is a James - known as Jimmy. And no matter how I say it, Jimmy and Gemma sounds horribly saccharine and twee. Trouble is I can envisage myself getting immune / used to to its syrupy unctuousness. Possibly even to the point of (gulp) considering it. And so am seeking the honest opinions of Mumsnetters on the matter! Am I an insane tw*t for even contemplating this for a fraction of a second? If the concensus is yes I'm blaming all this on temporary insanity brought on by the prospect of having two children ten months apart at barely 21 years old!
Cheers in advance guys.
