HelpRe: Thoughts on various names
in reply to a message by bopperlynn
Hi there,
At this point it would just be an informal renaming process that would possibly morph into baby's real name (i.e. pet name). The only one Dh liked was Tressa, he reneged on Callista, after fewer than 2 days he told me he no longer liked it, so we revisited the process and Tressa was all we came up with-but it seems too nick-namey to me (for Theresa) So I am going back to the drawing board with just thinking of practical but fun to say names that I might like to use or be called myself. Elektra was always a favorite but even as a nickname I think it would be hard to pull off IRL, so I am getting opinions on the above.

Why does he keep reneging! Have you tried punching him.

Hi Ludwig,
LOL! I can't punch him in the face b/c he is a full foot taller and 80 pounds heavier!!!!
I don't know, but honestly, this is how the whole think got started. He never wants to talk about it or commit to anything(except Rosalie now, for obvious reasons) I was taking a while to warm up to Callista and he said it had taken me too long (less than 48 hrs) and so that was that, we weren't using it, he doesn't like it. Then he allowed me to have 45 minute discussion on Sunday, where the only name we winnowed it down to was a new one, Tressa, but I tried that out and I am feeling it's too nick-namey.
ETA, even tonight he agrees Tressa sounds too much like a nickname, the very name he agreed on 48 hrs ago, LOL! SO like I said, I'm back to square one, and he's told me I can call her whatever I want-just trying to figure that out, picking from among my favorites.
