Long post + fussy about names = sorry in advance!
Hi all, I’m hoping I can’t get some opinions on name choices for our baby boy due in September.
Before we found out we were having a boy, we had a name for both genders picked out. We thought that we were set on a boys name but had issues with the name we had picked for a girl. Since finding out the gender, we’ve gone the opposite way and now we’re a little sad that we won’t get to use the girls name and have issues with picking a boys name.
During my first pregnancy we couldn’t choose a boy name but had Isaac on the shortlist. We had no doubts what so ever about a girl name and luckily we had a beautiful little girl named Ramona Faye.
This time around, we have 3 boy names on a shortlist but can’t decide on a combination. We only want 1 middle name and something that goes well with our daughters name.
Our choices are: Reuben, Isaac & Seth.
Now as much as we love all three names, I have issues with them all.
The more and more I say Isaac out loud, the more it sounds like “I suck” and with our surname being Richards, I can’t bare the thought of someone saying “I suck d*icks”
Seth is lovely but we’d like to be able to use a nickname and I feel like it’s too short as a first name.
Reuben is our current favourite but it just doesn’t “feel” right.
neither my partner or myself can imagine us with a son named Reuben.
I know I’m really fussy but I just don’t want to regret what I name my children.
It’s important to us to have less common names as my partner and I both have very common names as well as a common surname.
What combination does everyone prefer and do you have any other suggestions?
Names we cannot use for various reasons include: Quinn, Joseph, Thomas, Stephen, Miles, Lucas, Dylan, Samuel, Christopher & Scott.
We’d really appreciate you opinions and input, thanks.
