DH and I had date night last night. We had such a great dinner and a really nice night out. And I think we finally settled on names. He hasn't really wanted to talk about names so I thought it was going to take a really long time to agree. DH's dad passed away this year after a very unexpected and unfortunately very brief battle with pancreatic cancer. So, we will be naming the baby in his memory. I'm not just doing this for my DH. I loved my FIL very much and miss him terribly.
FIL's name was Jay Elihu P. (have you ever even heard the name Elihu? Yuck! (no disrespect intended or course))
So, anyway, if it is a boy he will be Jay Elliot P. and if it is a girl she will be Madeleine Jaye P. (probably MJ for a nickname, or maybe Maddie) DS would have been Madeleine if he had been a girl.
What do you think?
Re: I think we settled on names
Very nice. I think it's great to honor someone you love.
Sorry about your loss
Very nice!
How wonderful for your dh to name his child after his father.
