Baby name troubles!!!Help!
| Mon, 06-23-2008 - 7:42pm |
We have decided to use Grady Maddox for our baby boy but we are having a really hard time deciding what to call him. Grady is both of our grandfather's name(both of whom have passed away) and we just like Maddox. Our family is torn some love Maddox and some hate it and the same for Grady. I don't want him to get Gray or Maddie for nicknames!!HELP ME PLEASE!!!

If his name is Grady Maddox, call him Grady.
Thanks belle_petite for the siggy!
I have been reading these boards and this is the first one I have been drawn to reply to. I LOVE IT!
is sounds to me here like you're naming your baby something you really don't like
Grady is just an odd name
if you want to honor the grandfathers - I'd use Gray in the middle - by itself, just Gray - and find a first name that you really love that has nothing to do with family
sometimes people get way too carried away with feeling they need to use family names - find a name you really like and that you WANT to call your child by
I think both Grady and Maddox are quite handsome, and I really don't think the nns will be too likely to happen. (Except around crazed family members...they're incorrigible.) Take both combinations to the hospital, try them out once he gets here...see what feels right. I don't think you're going to go wrong either way.
It sounds like you're getting next-to-the-last minute jitters. It happens a lot...makes you want to chuck your whole list and just refer to "the Baby" for the next 55 years. But it'll come clear--just don't let everyone else push you. You have their opinions; now you can make an informed decision.
I like the name!
