The Great Baby Name Debate

I am having so much trouble finding a name for this little one. Sure, there are names I like, love even. But I have this overwhelming feeling that he has a name already, and I just have to find it. I will pick one that sounds great, and have it for a few days or a week, and then I wake up one morning, and just have a feeling that it's not his name and I start to hate it. It's a never ending cycle. And I think it is kind of annoying my husband, hehe.

And then I have everyone and their relatives trying to get me to name the baby after them. Um, how do you say "hell no" politely? My mother in law is the absolute worst. Her name is Kim. She is very adamant that boys can be named Kim too. Not in my culture. In some, yes, it is very socially acceptable, but not around here, and it just aint gonna happen, sister. So then she tries to get me to name the baby after her new husband, Ray's step-dad actually, who she is fighting with so much right now over various things, (including him having an online affair on her) that I am seeing a divorce in the horizon. Nope, not naming the baby after him either.

If I were to make everyone happy, this poor kid would have like 20 middle names, from all parts of the family, friends, and their favorite pet names too.

I am gonna start telling people I have a name picked out and am just keeping it a surprise so they leave me alone. Then I can reveal it at the birth.

I need to at least find another nick-name for him in the meantime, "Baby Boy" just isn't really very original :)
