So we had a chance to discuss names and DH actually suggested a few! His favorite is Alexander and I've loved that name for the past few years. I've kept trying to talk myself out of it as too popular, but I still love it. And I don't happen to personally know any Alexanders.

Another possibility is Adrian for DH's uncle who died a few years ago. I love Ryan, so could probably be ok with the nickname Rian, though I don't love that spelling. But I don't really like Adrian -- I dislike that it could be confused with Adrienne.

Other boy names I like:
Daniel
Christopher
Timothy
Mark(us)

I keep coming back to Alexander and love how it sounds with Gene.vieve. It also feels right, so that might be "the one". What do you think?

All that said, besides here, I don't plan to share the name we pick until baby is born, just in case we decide to change it, or people are rude about their opinions.

s/o baby, did you decide if you are going to the wedding?

Thanks! I think we're going to both weddings since I'm not sure which you meant

. I'm doing everything in my power to go to the September wedding 5 weeks after my due date where I'm supposed to be a bridesmaid. I'm afraid this baby will be late so could be 3-4 weeks post partum. That would be challenging, but we'll cross that bridge if/when we get there.

The June wedding in New England I would love to go to but it's starting to stress me out that DH won't commit to solid plans. I found plane tickets a month ago that would've been perfect but now they're $100 per person more expensive and rising...sigh. He has this crazy scheme of combining a work trip w our vacation and having his ticket paid for but he's not at all a planner. So we'll go if he gets his act together in the next week or so and I can book reasonable flights. Otherwise we'll skip it. I've been really stressed at work lately so this has just been one more thing.

is it really that popular? I don't know any Alexanders either.

Apparently it was #9 in the US last year? But maybe it's more popular in another region? Or maybe now I'll meet them all, lol.
