The name you chose and the reaction to it

Hopes wrote: My goodness! Your SO's sister needs some learning in the 'things that are socially appropriate' area!!!! That just makes her sound like a cow - I hope she's not that bad all the time!! I love the name, and think the special story behind it makes it even better.

Thank you :D Shes not that bad all of the time, but when she wants to put in her 2 cents (especially when no-one actually asks) she can come across as a bit of a bitch. It was during Christmas lunch that she said all these things, so that made it even worse for me :( I think what got me the most is that she was insulting my unborn child before shes even born :l That gets to me a lot. To know that if my bub is a girl, SO's sister has already said those things about her :(

Tell me about it melnel, we are so stuck on boys names... already have Bradley (pretty much always called Brad) and Nathan (called Nate and Nathan pretty equally). Not sure if we are finding out the gender of this one, but have a long girls name list and only lots of maybe's on the boys list!!

Any thoughts??? Got a surname that they will always have to spell and I tend to like no so popular and easy to spell names, also ones that aren't too long! Oh, and the middle name will most likely be Ian (both Grandad's are called Ian).

So far we have:
Dominic
Oliver (but poss. a bit too popular atm)
Nicholas (maybe, as have an aunty Nicola who is always Nic)
Daniel
Samuel (but surname starts with an 'S')
Umm, thats about it!

ETA: Opps, thought I was in another thread... so don't worry if you save your suggestions for there!
