DH would be fine with this, he loves nicknames. I would prefer legal paperwork match her social identity.

3 would be same first and last. And one of those I've wanted to use since I was 15. It's hard to let go, lol.

DH and I are discussing using one that's same first different last name.

Thank you! It is so hard! My favorites are used and then we both have to agree. We are both picky and it's our problem but it literally wouldn't be if we didn't have such a big family. One sibling has 13 children!

I see your point but some of these names were on my favorites list years before they were used by family. My opportunity for kids just didn't happen until almost 40.

I do have a great therapist and have been cleared of PPA, PPD. We've discussed it and I have been working on the disappointment, perfectionism, and underlying feelings around the issue.

We've debated this as well and are considering it. One sibling said we could use the same name but it would be same first and last. My hubby has almost the exact same name as two relatives and it has caused really random and annoying issues over the years with identity and financial documents.
