Need a little help
| Wed, 09-15-2004 - 1:00pm |
I need a little help, my husband and I are expecting our 3rd child in January and are having a very difficult time choosing a name for our little boy to be. We both are choosing names that the other one is not to fond of (actually he's ok with mine but I can't stand his) He finaly agreed to Andrew for the first name (my choice) if I would agree to Clayton as a middle name (his choice). Now I have to admit this is much better than his first choice (Bodiciphius.... yes I know I hated it too he is convinced this is a real name) but I am still not real fond of his second choice (Clayton). What would you do, do I give in (to Clayton) or keep trying to get another name?

That's kind of what we did, because my husband left the first name choice up to me (after we had narrowed it down to a few names we both could live with), and I then let him pick the middle name (after the same narrowing ... although he ended up picking a middle name he had removed from the list a few weeks ago lol - guess it grew on him).
Anyway, not many people will know the middle name besides you (at least not after the initial baby announcements are out), so if you can go with a compromise that makes you both happy, you should do it. Everyone will just call him Andrew anyway. :)
Here are a few similar combos that you might like better and could slowly warm him up to- Andrew Carson, Andrew Colton, Andrew Caden---Keep us posted! Take care, Ginger
It's a fine name but it wouldn't be on my list. KWIM? I would be able to tolerate just plain Clay as a middle name better. But if it will help Andrew Clayton and Andrew Clay for that matter both remind me of Andrew Dice Clay. Wonder if your DH considered that?
