HelpRe: Deanna?
in reply to a message by humblebee
The problem with Diana is the dead British princess. I'm actually uneasy with Deanna but i don't feel able - safe, really - in confronting my partner about it.

Princess Diana was actually why I sort of shrank away from it, and recommended Diane;also(and this doesn't help you!) I had a childhood friend named Diane, I liked her very much.
As you're uneasy about Deanna, best to speak up now;there are so many other names.
Since you've just now found out the sex of the baby, I'm guessing you are still quite early in your pregnancy.So you do have time to take a decision you'll both be happy with.
You might even want to move away from the "D" names, and try some other possibilities.

Most names have some association, when you think about it. Deanna is very tied to Deanna Troi from Star Trek, at least for me. Now, I don't like the Diana Spencer association, either, so I get what you mean, but I have to shout out for Danica McKellar. Yes, she was Winnie on Wonder Years, but she's also a gifted mathematician, has a great "intelligence is awesome" philosophy, and is a vocal advocate for math education, especially for girls. Not a bad person to share a name with.
As for: I'm actually uneasy with Deanna but i don't feel able - safe, really - in confronting my partner about it.
This is a whole other problem. Are you saying you feel physically unsafe discussing names with your partner?

He's a bit of a bully sometimes. When we were in the supermarket once and I'd picked up some items I was interested in, he shouted PUT THOSE DOWN!. Everyone was looking at us.
