Would you let history influence your choice of names? For example, my son is Nicholas and my DH loves the name Alexandra (nn Allie.) But Nicholas and Alexandra were the czar and czarina of Russia during the revolution and met an unpleasant end together. This is the only reason that I don't like the name. DH thinks I am being silly. Does any one have an opinion? Thanks.

Thanks everyone! I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with a girl name. We had ds name picked out by the time I was 4 or 5 months pregnant. Now I'm 7 months, and still no clue.

That would definitely influence me. Whether or not people remembered that (and really, how can you not remember that?), I'd know, and it would bother me.
