HelpRe: Jack, Henry, or Oliver
in reply to a message by Martha
Oliver. I like them all, but I love Oliver. It's been one of my favorites for years, and one I strongly considered for my son. I honestly dislike my son's name, and I like Oliver more and think it would suit him. It's handsome, classic, perfect for a young boy as well as an adult.
John is boring, and I dislike Jack as a nickname for it. So for me it would be a choice between Oliver and Henry, which also is a great name with fantastic nicknames (Harry, Hank and especially Huck).
Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

That's interesting, disliking your son's name. How did that come about? Do you think you would ever consider changing it?

I've made multiple posts here during his first year about changing it. I've realized I'm not going to change it though.
I dunno...I guess I just feel like Hugo is a good name for someone else's child, but it's boring and not something I ever imagined naming my son. And possibly somewhat awkward sounding when I say it, or maybe that's just in my head because I'm not so sure about his name.
I love him more than anything, but I think I will always be sad that he ended up with the name he did and blaming myself (and somewhat my mom) for being too quick on deciding on a name after birth.

I wonder how I missed those posts! Hm. Well, that's interesting and maybe too bad. I wonder if you'll like it more on him later.
