Im 36 weeks, and whilst dh and I have some names we are mulling over, we just can not decide!
We dont know if we are having a boy or girl, but, somehow, we are both convinced it will be a boy. (Dont mind either way!! would be very happy with a litter of kittens at this stage!)
For boys, we always loved the name Oscar, despite our families not liking it (my father in law told us it sounded like a dogs name!!) That was until about a week or so ago when my mum announced to us that a baby in Eastenders had been named Oscar - its really taken the shine off it for us. We liked it cause it was slighly unusual, but now feel its going to become tres popular how annoying.
Other names we like are Noah and Reuben. As my dh is insisting on 2 middle names, God knows why, it is even more difficult. However, I was in Tesco today, and heard this woman calling to her little one, and I just thought to myself, "NOAH! NOAH!" across the fruit and veg aisle, and Im just not sure. I want to be able to love my childs name, not just think its ok.
For girls we like (in no particular order) Amelie, Isabelle, Poppy, Daisy, and Alice. Again we have the same quandry about the 2 middle names thing. So in effect we have to decide on 3 beautiful names that all fit together, where the initials dont spell anything or mean anything, that sound right, and are popular without being too popular!
STRESS!!!!!!!!!!
Please help before I go crazy.
ps on top of this I think my nesting instinct has kicked in and I cant stop making lists involving such items as "replace plinth under kitchen sink", "must read manual for steriliser and breastpump", "re-sand and oil kitchen worktops" and "wash all babygrows in non-bio powder"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
plus im up at nearly 5am on bloody mumsnet when i should be fast asleep in my bed, but the un-named bump is making it impossible!!!!
