i am heartbroken.

the man and i have been casually tossing around names. we both have the baby bug, big time, and are probably going to start trying within the year.

so finally, after all this time, a couple of days ago, i told him what my favorite name in the whole world is...

francesca

its been my absolute number one favorite for a long time.

i have others i love too, but this one is very special to me.

his response? "francesca [hislastname*] sounds HORRIBLE!!" only to be followed by "it sounds like a soft drink - have some refreshing fran-CHESS-caaaaaaaaah" *insert his unnecessary sound effects of popping a soda can open here*

it made me quite sad. it has a LOT of meaning for me!

1. my maternal grandfathers name was francis
2. the patron saint of my birthday is st francis of assisi
3. the mans confirmation name is francis (also after st francis of assisi)
4. st francis of assisi is the patron saint of animals - my man is a veterinarian and i have done tons of shelter work and the like, we are both HUGE animal lovers
5. it means "freedom" which is just very special to me
6. frankie is thee most kickass nickname for a little girl

the only additional response i got was "what about chloe?" *vomit*

help!

*hislastname = think spyder, kind of, with one of the letters changed

Don't worry, my husband has done that with names only for him to change his mind weeks later.
