After about 20 seconds you can't imagine them being called anything else!

Names advice...

The problem with names is manifold:

1 there is always someone that you know with a child of the same that you like - you just need to put that problem to bed and move on
2 at our age you will always have known someone that bugged you who has the same name as the name that your wife likes - as 1 above unless they committed some mortal sin against you
3 coming from different ethnic/cultural/language backgrounds causes a problem for boys names - I liked George, Harry, Tom etc ...my wife liked Deniz, Tagmac, Eirol and others - all of which I explained would be ammunition for that feral zone that we know as the "playground"
4 girls names for some reason pose less of a problem as I felt much more inclined towards the exotic - ayla, emine, eyasmine etc

In the end we were writing a birthday card to a friend to whom we always signed off as "love M+M" and thought why don't we have another M? Maximilian - meaning exalted leader was the only one that we really liked and didn't have too many issues in either language.

In the end you give them a name and after about 20 seconds you can't imagine them being called anything else!

This feels like the longest pregnancy in the world - how can she only be 6m?????
