Hello, everyone! I'm expecting our third child, due in January, whose sex we're keeping a surprise. This has made choosing the name so much more difficult, especially when it comes to boys. I have a hard time falling in love with boy names. I could list about 20,000 girl names I love but only maybe 20 boy names (most of which have been vetoed by the DH). I seem to make a new list every week or so with names I say I love, only to stop loving them after a few days. I'm so worried that this baby will be a boy, and I'll give him a name that I think I love at the time, only to stop loving the name a week after he's born.
Our son was a bit difficult to name too, but at least we knew his sex at this point. We both loved the nickname Caz, so using that, we worked backwards until we found a full name: Cassian. Even then I had name remorse. It was between Caspian and Cassian in the end, and we obviously chose Cassian when he was born, but I spent almost the first year of his life wondering if we should've gone with Caspian. I got over it eventually, but I don't wanna do that again.
We've tried doing the same thing as before but there's no nickname that we both love. We both like Dashiell nn Dash, but I'd like to have other options. We also like Dax but can't find any full names we like.
How can I learn how to fall in love with a boy name?
Thank you!
