Button has a name!!!

OK, so i think its safe to say that baby Button officially has a name! We have been pretty much set on the boys name for a while now, as it was one of the only ones we both seemed to like. However we now have a boys middle name too.

The girls names have taken a little bit more thinking about over the past few weeks, as we'd narrowed it down to two, and were struggling to choose between them. I've had mixed feelings about our chosen middle name for a little girl because its incredibly unusual (so unusual I've never heard of anyone with it). In some ways i quite like the fact that its unusual, as it will make her a little more unique, but at the same time i worry about what people will think. I don't want anyone to think we're one of those couples that have just randomly made a name up.. it is an actual name. Don't get me wrong, its nothing horrendous, we're not the type of couple to name a baby 'Chlamydia-Smirnoff' or anything weird like that.. its just a little different.

I've managed to think of a few reasons why we should go with it, these have helped me to make my mind up.

1) Adam and I both think it sounds beautiful, especially with the chosen first name.

2) It is only her middle name, so if she didn't like it, she wouldn't have to shout about it.

3) It has a secret hidden meaning to us as a couple which makes it extra special.

4) We shouldn't have to pick a name for a child based on what other people will think.

Also, i have anonymously joined a random pregnancy forum, and put a post on there asking what people think of it. I got 16 responses and all we're incredibly positive. Not one person said anything bad about it, they all thought it was really pretty!

I think i would actually be more excited about announcing our girls name than the boys now too, as the boys name is the complete opposite, quite popular, but i love them both!

It feels weird to think that this tiny person I've been carrying around for the past 33 weeks is actually going to be called one of those two names. I almost feel weird and kind of sad that baby wont be 'Button' anymore. I've been calling him/her that since the word go, and so does everyone else now, I'll miss it.

They will always be my little Button though :)

So yeah, this is quite a big point in the pregnancy for us, it all seems very real now our little piggy has a name!

P.S Please don't get tempted to ask us what the names are .. our lips are sealed until the day Button's born! Hopefully that means there will be no more than 7 weeks to wait!
