3 days until due date and my partner & I don't even have any 'maybe' names. I hate all his suggestions, and he hates all mine! :( What to do? We're having a girl!
@poppins, Yeah I see where you are coming from aswell.. I gave my son my surname as his middle name.. Iv always said I wouldn't like to find out but been more anxious to know this time.. I'm in no way, shape or form ready for babies arrival 😕 xx
@lynne87xx, I do see your point, but at the same time I will also always be my child's mum, so why should she automatically take just his name? I feel having both our names makes it fair on everyone, especially as this was an unplanned baby and I don't know the future! I am aware my opinion is the unpopular one though haha. Aw, good luck with your surprise baby :) I was far too impatient to wait until birth to find out! xx
my little boy has his dad's surname.. Whether we get married or not his dad will always be his dad.. I have 3 weeks to go with a suprise baby and haven't got a boys or girls name picked xx
Hey hun :) Your bubba may come late so don't worry about not having a name in time xD I don't know what I am having xD So I am waiting until the birth :) you have 6 weeks after the birth anyway :) as they don't need to be registered straight away :) xx
aurora, athena, elise, mikayla and natalia where ones I picked before xx
Before me and my partner new we were having a boy we chose the name Maya for a girl, but it was between Maya, Athena, Lily and Lia xx
@katiesutheran2014, Ah, well that's nice :) fingers crossed for you! I'm too negative about the world to believe I have a future like that haha so I want my back covered. I'll happily change her name to just his name if we get married! But for now I feel double barrelled is fair.
I hope to, I'm so much closer with his family and feel so much more in place with them than I do at home, so hopefully one day :)
@katiesutheran2014, Both sound fine in my opinion but choice is yours! Do you think you'll take his name one day? To me I find it too risky incase the relationship goes tits up for any reason lol (obviously I hope it never does).
@nashkay, I'm glad you're fine! And to be honest I actually loved being a single parent so I don't think it's being selfish haha. I'm too stubborn and set in my own ways to like sharing decisions.
@poppins, Thank you but I'm honestly fine. Like I said, it feels easier. And in a selfish way, it means I don't have to share her with anyone except family. My mom is really excited about her arrival because even thou I'm 24, I still live at home coz I can't afford to move out lol so me and baby will be around my mom a lot and she's quite looking forward to it.
@nashkay, Ah I'm sorry to hear that, although it is easier that way really. I have a 5 year old son who I brought up alone, and it was much easier with every decision being solely mine.
Basically the same problem here haha, I don't know if Jones or Sutheran would go better (I have his surname on here since I'm not very close with my family) with Isaac Luke haha
@katiesutheran2014, Ah that's a lovely name for a boy. Hmm yes that's another problem for my partner and I. I want her last name to be double barrelled as we're not married, not engaged, nor have actually ever spoken about one day being married... But he's being stubborn and wants his name only... So that's an ongoing battle here too. What a pickle!
Hi 😊 I have 4 girls and another on the way and ours are called Ella Sian, Lola Shell, Bliss Bow and Posie Opal. Quite unusual but we like them. Xx
I had a name picked out for both genders from day 1. I didn't find out what I was having until 6 weeks ago but now I know, I have had time to get use to the idea of having a girl and what her name will be. I think it's easier for me because I don't have a guy having to have an input because he chose to fuck off. So every decision has been solely mine. So I've not had anyone veto-ing my ideas lol
I wish you luck haha :) yes, he'll be named Isaac Luke :) not sure on the surname just yet though
@katiesutheran2014, Well I know what to name her, just need to convince him my suggestions are the best haha :P So I assume you have a name picked out for your little boy then? :)
I suppose we both just really liked the names, if we were having a girl we'd probably be arguing over those two names haha :) I'm sure once she's here you'll know what to name her :)
@katiesutheran2014, Wow, how can you have decided so early? Haha. We've been trying and trying, but just can't agree on anything!
My daughter shan't be taking her fathers name. And it's not because he's not around. Even if he was I don't want her to take his name. My surname has been perfectly sufficient for myself for almost 25 years and it'll do just fine for her.
