On sunday evening I had my beautiful son.I had decided to wait and see what he looked like and then name him.
DH loves Calvin and I have always hated it.
We both agreed that we both liked Rocco while pregnant but he doesn't suit it at all now he's born.
A while back on mumsnet I asked for opinions on the name Beau.I'd say 90 percent of mn's hated Beau as did people in RL.
Soon as he was born I couldn't help but think he looked like/suited Beau Alexander.That's his name to me and even the midwives said he looked like a Beau rather than something harsh like Rocco.
DH says he cannot ever call his son Beau.He said it's too much to live up to.He would be ashamed to call out his name in the supermarket etc.
He wants to call our son Kelly or Rocco/Rocky so his taste his hardly normal!!
Our ds1 is 2yrs and called Ellis James(dh named him but I happened to love the name).
At one stage DH said he would consider Beauregard (as it's a proper name)and even though I don't really love it I would still have it as it's the best compromise.
Now he's saying he won't consider Beauregard!
DH still has a week or two left to spend with us.We should be enjoying the baby and family so I'm not bringing up the subject of names as it will end in an argument.
Don't know what to do.Shall I keep trying to get the name I love?DH is very stubborn.Just doesn't seem fair that I'm always the one that gives in to him and he seems to get his own way.
Sorry that this post is so long.
Thanks for reading.
