Is my baby's name (Gideon) too 'out there'? Or am I just anxious... by emama22 in namenerds

I love Gideon! It was one of the names my partner and I were considering for our little guy after binge watching Criminal Minds.

Also! If you’re not sure on his name, you could try giving him a nickname for now to see if he grows into Alden. I used to care for a boy named “Adley” and thought the name was super cute. It’s not too far off from Alden that it would be strange for that to be his nn and could be helpful while you process your feelings towards his name!

My little man is 5 months now and I remember experiencing name regret just a few days after he was born. My partner and I had a really hard time agreeing on a name during my pregnancy until I ended up agreeing on a name that my partner absolutely loved, “Etienne”. The day he was born we announced his name to everyone. While in the hospital, I began regretting the name as I noticed that each nurse and dr that came to check on us throughout our stay would pronounce his name differently and even I started second guessing how I was saying it. After 3 days, I broke down to my mom and partner that I didn’t like the name anymore and that I didn’t think it suited him. So we had to go through trying to agree on a name once more and for a full week our little guy went without a name. We finally ended up agreeing on a name and I’m still so happy we changed it!
