I'm 8 weeks along with my first child, and I feel sure that it's a girl. I figured I would wait until I start buying clothes, but it wouldn't hurt to start picking out a name. My husband's desperate for a boy, and wants to name it after him. His name is Junior. His parents are Spanish, and my parents are German, so whenever I suggest anything they say they can't pronounce the name, or they don't like it, because it doesn't sound like a "name" to them.

Ugh, putting family & husband aside, I like the name Marisya.Sofia.Angelita.Arya. Boy? Antonio.Carlos.Martin.

Ultimately this is a decision I feel comes down to me and my husband. But he's horrible. He wants Junior and Junioretta! Any cultural compromise suggestions?

I agree with the advice not to discuss the name with anyone but dh - and us, of course.
