Now, keep reading because I would like some advice today.
I have been thinking about baby names. Usually, previously, I have had no trouble in this area. My husband just lists off names until I hear something that doesn’t totally bug me and then we use that name for our baby.
Miss 8 has a crazy unpronounceable foreign name that is actually super meaningful to me. And she shares my middle name.
Miss 6’s name was the only one that didn’t bug me and she shares my mother’s maiden name for her middle name.
Miss 4 has the ultimate family name. With her first name we covered two generations on my husband’s side and her middle name covers two more.
Miss 2 has a cutie pie name, again, the only one that didn’t bug me while pregnant with her, and she shares her middle name with her aunt and my father-in-law.
Our plan is to keep the name a fairly closely guarded secret until we actually have the baby so we will have something fun to announce. Especially since we always have girls and planned c-sections. We need some element of surprise.
Anyway, the point of this rambling is that this baby will be coming in a week and a half. Right after the ultrasound my husband mentioned a name that surprisingly didn’t bug me and we have been planning to name her that. Sounds like there’s no trouble, right? But there is trouble, because for some reason I keep having this nagging worry that there is some family name she should have, some meaningful important thing that I am missing. I can’t totally commit to the name! And I can’t get my husband to worry about it with me! He just smiles and says we’ll know when she’s born. But that has never been the plan before- I like to have the name totally planned!
So, the question is, do I go with a meaningful family name that I have not decided upon at all and just hope it will come to me in the moment, or do I go with the usual plan- the name that doesn’t bug me while pregnant??? Comments and advice would be appreciated. If you have kids, let’s hear how you named them. If you don’t, throw in your two cents anyway, I’d love to hear your name preferences. 🙂
