Re: Can I offer a suggestion?

I'll tell you what several of my teacher co-workers who have had kids have told me: whatever name you pick for your child--even if it initially reminds you of a problem child that you worked with? It soon becomes YOUR child's name, and while you may not forget the association with that student, it does fade. (Of course, your OCD might not let that work....)

I know I gave negative feedback on both names, but my feeling is this: if you love the name and it's not totally whack-a-doodle, then use it. And by whack-a-doodle I mean this: I know someone who named their son "Letcher"--and even when told that the word "lecher" meant dirty old man, they said "But it's spelled differently". And the reason they named the child that? They liked the name Fletcher, but wanted it to start with L cus that's what the mother's name started with...and no, they weren't teenagers.

If you know any of your family history (on either side) are there any names that might be useful--either given names or surnames? Or taking a common name and finding it in another language that wouldn't be totally outlandish and/or clash with your surname.

And tbh, it doesn't really matter if your family doesn't like it--if you use the name, they'll more than likely grow to like it because it's your kid's name. I mean, my maternal grandmother didn't like my name (Stacy) when mum named me--although later on, she swore that she'd always liked it.
