I'm 38 weeks (about 90% I'm in the beginnings of labor actually, or the most insistent Braxton Hicks of ALL TIME) with my first baby and I'm just now realizing how freaking intimidated I am by naming this kid. Our girl name is essentially set, for my grandmother and his grandmother, but I honestly think I'm having a boy and here is where the problem is. Boy names scare me!
Okay, not scare me? But just... I don't know. Intimidate me. I work at a preschool so I know the unfortunate amount of trendy boy names (no offense to most people but -aden names have officially broken my brain). I want my kid to have a traditional name but not boring and something that can grow up with the child.
We've gotten it down to : Henry, Andrew and (possibly?) Luke. The middle name is a whole new ball game as it has to be a W for his grandfather Wayne and um. Yeah, there are what? Nine W names? So frustrating. Maybe West? Or Wade. Or William (but Henry William is too close to Hank Williams for my comfort). Willam? Walker?
To summarize: I might be having a bit of a meltdown over naming a human being right now. Help?
