We used social security lists from the early to mid 1900s, our thought process was this is going to be an adult who we want to be successful and people to respect instead of snicker about what his "real name" is behind his back. Unique names were very trendy when jr was cooking, but in our quest for a traditional name his was unique π. If he'd been a girl, he was going to be named after my aunt that I'm the spitting image of...genetics do be strong sometimes. Enjoy the process and get giggles out of thinking about calling a teeny babe some of the names.
Discussion
Wow!! We listed some of our favourite potential girl and boy names but narrowing them down to 1 is hard! π
π Cheese man applied his logic and reason to it, just like everything else. I went along because I love traditional names, we only had a fight about one name. It'll feel right when you come across it.
It is definitely a half serious half joking discussion for us so far. Perhaps the logic and reason will come when we're down to the wire π omg this is making me a bit nervous.
So. Fun. Nerves are normal, you have to laugh and joke about it all sometimes to relieve the pressure.
The one was a nice name, but also the name of a giant dumbass that I knew, so I had to push back. No way could I give my kid that name...
It worked out, though. Fortune 500 CEO names were good, too. Nobody on that list with a name like Ginasys Articulexis-Braydin Kandi Maflingo.
