DS2 1 week old - still no name - help please

[baskingseals]

Denial is not a river in Egypt.
Dh and I are coming from very different places
Me - Gabriel, Xaviere, Christian, Fabian
Dh - Robert, John, Garry, Lee

It just ain't going to happen is it? Can anybody think of something? Anything? Our other two are Alexandra and Theo.

nHi guys, doctorski - I think you've cracked it, why didn't I think of that before? It's the obvious solution. Dh has simply got to go. I can trot off to the registry office singing Gabriel, Gabriel all the way. I think the real reason we still haven't done the deed, is that I still think I can win him round - but as time goes on I just think I'm deluding myself. I have tried calling him Finn today, didn't sound awful, but didn't sound particularly right either. Will let you know, when finally resolved, thanks again for all your suggestions, sorry it's taking us so bloody long.

baskingseals At last I have found you.
Baby is gorgeous and sorry I couldn't back you up on gabriel, but you know my brother preferred people to think his middle name was geoffrey than admit it was Gabriel.
But then hey he might just cave in for a quiet life?

And agree with you about Finn, didn't sound right.

zanz1bar, you are forgiven, of course. I think we both know I'm on a hiding to nothing, so nothing new there really. Dh seems to think we've decided on Finn, there you go job done. I don't fink so.

Hi guys, just to say that DS2 is now over 2 weeks old and we still haven't chosen a name, but will let you know when we do.

fabian is lovely,i prefer your choices.

haha glad you like my suggestion basking - has your DH packed his bags yet?

In all seriousness we called DS a name which was a pretty big compromise for both of us (Milo) and I still don't feel like it's his name properly (he's 20 months). I still yearn for my Noah/Gabriel/whatever else I wanted to call him and DH vetoed! We also took FIVE weeks to register his birth because we couldn't agree. Not sure what my point is - just that I understand how hard it is to call your child a name you don't love, and even if it takes another fortnight maybe it's worth waiting until you manage to find a name you can both be happy with, if you can - good luck

I can barely stand the suspense......how will it turn out ?!! Some watch Eastenders for drama, but we have it all on MN !

I thought you had decided - Patrick!

I know someone who wanted to call her son Emile and her DH wanted to call him George. As far as I now they just kept using the name of their choice until one of them caved!!

Gregor

How about Levi or Ellis?

Has a decision been made yet baskingseals?

still waiting...

Any decisions made in the baskingseals household?

What about...

Abe
Declan
Saul
Sol/Solomon

I love Gabriel too, but my DH says much the same as yours.

HI guys sorry thought I'd lost this thread and have started a new one. Thanks so much for all your suggestions, we've gone for Angus, nickname Gus - quite different to Gabriel, which I'd still go for, but I'm not allowed, killjoy dh. Off to start a new thread about sleep deprivation.
