Its a name Id always loved if we ahd another boy and initially dh liked it.
He's now changed his mind and says 'no way'.

But I love it, I like the meaning, I like that it goes with the middle name weve chosen (dh's middle name), i like that it goes with our other childrens names and that
its biblical like ds's name.

I have jokingly told dh that after giving birth for the 3rd time I will call baby what I want, and that I'll be registering anyway, but I know it should be a joint decision.

The other names I liked, one just doesnt seem right for this baby and havent mentioned the other to dh yet in case he loves it and it finally overules my 1st choice

My father agreed our names with our mother, then went and registered us as something completely different while she was in hospital. 3 times!

I am AMAZED that they had another child after the first!

My great gran told my great great gran to register my gran (you keeping up?) youngest of 5 in 1932, great gran didn't have a name, left it up to great great gran, gran hated name and never forgave her mother.

What particularly rankles is that my father's choice for me is a seriously GHASTLY name, and my mother had chosen one of my favourites!

My parents had completely different names for me until I was about 5 yrs old.
Old photos carry the name my father chose. Weird
Happen to dislike both of my names.
