HelpRe: Baby boy born but name not feeling natural
in reply to a message by vanessayermian
I have three children and to be honest, NONE of their names felt natural at first. It takes time. It's one thing to imagine what the little one will look and be like, but to then see him or her is almost surreal at first. It does take time.
My advice would be to go another month and try to recall why you liked August in the first place. I mean, you said your dh liked it and I'm assuming you did as well since you ended up naming the baby that. I'd also use this time to call him Kai a time or two and see how it feels.
Are you and your dh in agreement about this? I'd say that would need to be essential to avoid resentments. Oh, and there's no need to hyphenate, imo. Even if Kai ends up being his mn, lots of people go by their mns.
No, you're not crazy. :-)
