We finally named him!  

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 
I forgot to update here, but we finally named our DS when he was 4 weeks old. DH and I were butting heads on it and he was getting really upset I wouldn't give in and let him give our son the name he wanted. I am extremely picky when it comes to names (in a good way IMO ) as it needs to sound good and be a name to last him his life (obviously). I was not willing to "give in" to DH as I didn't care for his name choice with our last name, plus we already use his family's generational middle name for our kids and they have his last name. I wanted a part of his name to, dammit!

Anyway, we ended up compromising. We used the name I wanted (well, the only one DH didn't shoot down and the most significant to me anyway) as his first name and DH's name is his first middle name; I am calling him by his first and DH is calling him by the middle name.

So finally introducing Jude Koa Hee ____. We're heading down to get his birth certificate today, now that he's finally named!

DDC crashing from Dec

Just wanted to say that I love the name you and your dh came together and chose! I had that as a boy name of mine but my last 2 have been girls (or at least the one I'm due w/ today is suppose to be a girl )

Congrats and hooray for Jude Koa!! :

Yeah, it was really hard to not have a name for him until 4 weeks old. And I call him "the baby" most f the time still, out of habit. I'm still getting used to the flow of the name as it's a traditional first name with a Hawaiian/nature name right after, followed by his Korean middle and last name. I know I'll get used to it though and really, DH and I each got to give him part of his name like my parents did with me and that makes it special.
