HelpRe: Ptolemy
in reply to a message by Bex
You already know my thoughts - I vote yes! There’s more pros than cons imo - maybe writing out your own list of pros and cons might help? (if you haven’t already). At the end of the day though you have to with your gut. Are you finding out the sex or waiting?
PS: Tolly is adorable (definite pro!)

The biggest con is definitely the spelling. I know that it shouldn't be as much of an issue because nothing is spelt the same way these days (I teach 6 Caitlins spelt all different ways AND I had 3 Jacks in the same class spelt Jac, Jack and Jak!). However I know it's going to be so confusing.
The meaning isn't nice either, but i'm not so fussed on that and I know there's iffy history with the name too but also doesn't bother me too much.
I don't think the name is quite as big or pretentious sounding as Percival, I think the Tolly makes it a bit more 'friendly'.
I should have actually already found out the sex and i'm dying! The test results should have been in yesterday and I went to my doctors and they weren't there yet!! :(
The covid testing has meant that everything else is taking longer.
I really do love it though... hubby learning to spell it might be the issue lol.
Ptolemy _____ Stewart (SN) does sound nice...

How annoying that you’re still waiting!
I just figure (and I’m probably assuming too much maybe?) that anyone who went through basic history at school in around year 7/8/9 should have come across Ptolemy...
The combo flows well so far.
