What do you guys think of the name Caspian?

It's getting really trendy here in Norway. Personally struggling with fitting it on a real person, even though the son of one of my coworkers is actually named Caspian. I just feel it's so Narnia.

• Someone on facebook who is expecting just found out the baby is a girl and announced the name... Greysyn Ashley. *sigh* Why, just why??

So I gave my husband my list of names and let him cross off what he didn't like, then looked through what was left and took in some good advice from you guys and crossed a few more off. What is left is
Alice
Holly
Audrey

 

I was really sad to see Matilda go, he said because of the movie. And even more sad to see Charlotte go, I know it doesn't fit in with my theme, but it wasn't an on purpose theme so I don't feel bound to it. But his only thing against Charlotte was that a good friend of his wife's named that and he'd be accused of naming the baby after her.

 

With those names in mind as our agreed likes, any other suggestions? There is a chance he'll be deployed well before I have this baby and possibly before we can find out the gender so it's important to me to find a name early.

My husband wants to carry on the tradition of his family and name our baby, if it's a boy, after him, John.

 

I hate the idea of naming a kid after yourself. I told him that when we were dating. I'm willing to compromise by having John be the middle name. So, he wants John Henry and I want Henry John. there is just no way in hell I'll name a son John. I'll also put in that his dad's name is Alex and so is his nephew and it's annoying and confusing. John was his grandfather, he was named after him yet he goes on about the tradition. I'd also like to point out that I have a son from another relationship who knows the truth but John is the only father he has ever known.

 

so, besides the fact I hate the tradition all together, it's not even a real tradition, I don't like the name, it's too boring and uncreative, how will that make our son feel if we have a boy and he gets named after his dad when our current son doesn't even have the same last name. Doesn't that send the message that the baby is more important because he's blood? he already has low self esteem and depression issues.
Mostly I'm just curious of your opinion on the matter, plus, if it really is a boy, I need a good solid argument to win with the compromise (I've already agreed to one middle name if it's a boy where myself and our three kids all have two.)

Today, I met a teenaged girl named Nevada.  Honestly, I've wanted to name a character Nevada for a while now, so it was interesting to see it on a person.  It was unusual, but I liked it.  I also met a Ryne who was named after the famous Chicago Cubs baseball player, Ryne Sandberg (his first name was the answer in a crossword puzzle this guy's mom was solving while she was in labor---she took that as a sign).  And there was a Cullan, too.
