What Pokemon should we name our baby after?
Me and my husband are so excited for our new baby! We both really love the first 151 Pokemon and are planning to name her/him after a Pokemon! We have some preliminary names picked out but are having a tough time deciding. What do you guys think of these names? For a girl we have: Psyduck, Venusaur (Nickname-Venus), Caterpie (Cate for short), Jynx, and Mew And for a boy we have: Raichu, Ekans, Scyther, and Magmar.
What do you think? My husband wants to name our new baby son, Christopher Joye. I have mixed feelings.
Is Joye a family name? A nice solid name like Christopher will serve him well. I have to say the Joye (if pronounced joy) sounds a bit effeminate. Christopher is better than some fad name that will be popular for 10 years and then embarrassing to write on a resume later on. Kids can be cruel, a name like Joye could be a torment for a school aged kid (assuming they find out about it) Is it going to be included in how you address him, or just on paper?

My husband wants to name our baby after his father and I don't.?
You have to be comfortable with your son's name, plain and simple. So I have to agree with you. There's absolutely no reason to name your child for someone simply because the family is putting pressure on your to do so. In fact, even if I *wanted* to name a child for a family member, I likely wouldn't if that same individual (or others close to them) were trying to cajole me into doing so. It isn't a tradition in this case, as you've already pointed out, and "honoring" someone in such a way is no longer an honor, but an unfortunate loss of control, if you follow. Just as your mother's -- and therefore your -- similar experience. She tried to compromise in the name of family, and it obviously made little headway ... the only result being you, her child, stuck with a name she dislikes linked to a person she barely knows, much less relates to. Given that, I simply wouldn't cave. Explain your feelings to your husband, and leave it at that. Hopefully he'll understand, even if it takes a bit of time. Good luck!
Did you choose your child’s name? If so, how did you choose that name?
I went back to full-time work when my first baby was five weeks old. (My then-husband had taken on the role of stay-at-home-dad.)On my first day back at work, a client came into the office with a newborn baby. I was, as you can imagine, feeling a little teary and missing my own baby, so I ended up holding and cuddling this newborn for quite some time. I absolutely adored this baby boy’s name. It wasn’t one I’d ever considered when naming my own son, but it called to me.That night when I got home, I said to my then-husband: “If we have another baby, we should name him ______.*”To my great surprise, he looked at me, not like I was a crazy person, but like I was a genius. “Yeah,” he said. He said it aloud a few times, both on its own and in conjunction with our surname, and nodded. “That’s perfect.”Time passed. Our baby grew into a toddler. When he was two, my then-husband and I swapped roles. I worked from home in between being a stay-at-home mum. I realised I loved our family just the way it was. I couldn’t imagine having a second child.A couple of months after my son turned three, I sat down with my then-husband to have a talk about the future. “I’m thirty-three now,” I said. “We really need to make a firm decision about whether or not we’re going to have any more children.”The conversation didn’t last long. Both of us were happy with our little family the way it was. We loved our son with the fire of a thousand suns. We decided not to have any more children.A week later, I discovered I was seventeen weeks pregnant.Although we were both shocked by the pregnancy, neither of us were surprised when the scan showed we were having a boy. We’d already chosen his name three years earlier.These days, I can’t imagine a world without my gorgeous, funny, future rock-star. And it’s become family legend that he was determined to be born from the moment we chose his name. He was just waiting for the most droll moment to make his appearance.[*] I wish I could share his name with you, but I don’t ever use my children’s names on the internet. I want them to be able to create their own online personas when they’re old enough, without being burdened by anything I’ve ever said/shared about them.
What did you name your child and why?
Timothy Joseph (Step) - named after his father (this is the kid who was a father at 15 and really despised me when I first married my current wife)Matthew Allen(Step) - named after wife’s brother, Allen was grandfatherMichael Andrew(step) - named because wife liked the name Michael, Andrew was brothers nameThe step after names are because they were wife’s kids who I adopted years ago, just easier to explain when you see my kids names later on in this listTimothy Paul (adopted) - no ideaRyan(adopted) - no ideaMatthew Michael- I always liked the name Matthew, Michael is my first name(eliminated any chance of a junior by using my name)Austin Joseph/Ariel Janice - I always liked the name Austin, Joseph just the name, Ariel came from the little mermaid, and Janice is my sisters name (yes I know my twins can be both called AJ, it was not intentional)Zacharia Paul - Wife liked Zacharia and gave him my stepdads middle nameJacob Thomas - Liked the name Jacob, Thomas is my middle nameYes there were two Timothy’s and Matthews in my house at one point, to keep them separate, one went by TJ and the other Tim. With the Matthews, we called one M&M and the other Matt. Luckily I still have not had a lawsuit filed for infringing on the M&M name yet lol
My Husband wants to name our first born son Elmer after his grandfather?
You should compromise. It's your baby too. You can always use it as a middle name! Here's an EXAMPLE: John Elmer John Matthew Elmer (two middle names if you want) John Matthew-Elmer (or you could hyphenate them) If you really don't like Elmer, you could go with Elliot, Elijah, Elvis, Eli, etc. Something similar to Elmer. Congrats & Hope you find a name!! xx
