I too have had some name "issues." (so to speak) Dh had the name Elijah picked out for his 1st son before we even met and when we got together and talked about baby names, Elijah was on my list of fav names so it was easy. I, too, have always fancied that name. Anyways, dd came out a girl so it was a given that if this dc was a boy, he would be Elijah. Well, the name fits him perfectly but it's his middle name (River) that has me on a stump. For some reason I feel like River kinda shouldn't be his mn. I mean, I love the whole name it's just that I feel like River is much more than just a mn. Like, I should've waited to use it...perhaps there is another boy in our future that would've been River or something. I dunno. Maybe I'm just crazy. I told myself this past weekend that I would just forget about it. (since it's been on my mind alot) Elijah River is his name and that's that but I guess there will alwys be a part of me that feels a bigger connection to the name River. Who knows, maybe he'll prefer to be called by his mn when he's older.

I mean, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Elijah and he certainly looks like an Elijah...I just feel like maybe River should've been saved for a first name. (not that we're planning on having more but..)
Am I completely nuts?

Do what will make you happy.... so if you want to change it, discuss it with your husband. Maybe you could make the current first name her middle name so that would make it easier.
