getting used to the name?

I'm 20w2d having a boy. My boyfriend sorda picked out the name nd I like it better than most names but I'm still not too sure about it. I just feel like I should love the name nd if I hav doubts maybe it should be changed. Am I wrong? Will I get used to it or should I look for something else? The name is Elijah James btw

My husband picked Aubrey for our little girl and I wasn't sure I liked but after she was born it just fit her. You still have time you don't have to settle on a name just yet, but that is a cute name. You don't have to name him until after he's born

My partner has chosen the boys. His dad passed 2 years ago and his name was fred so if its a boy it will be freddie antony. The antony is after my dad and I love the name. He said I can choose the girls but dont have a clue. But its deffo gunna be freddie for a boy as it means so much to him xx

My boyfriend picked out the girls name, and I picked out the boys name. I love them both, and can't wait to find out if it's going to be named "Asuka Rei" or "Raiden Naoko". Yes, they're very Asian, but my baby is half Asian, so it's fine. :)

My boyfriends family said Elijah was a girly name for a boy. The guys in their family are the manly muscles nd guns type. I did get offensive when they said that tho. I like the name but I just hav a hard time seeing my baby boy as an Elijah nd will it fit him or sound weird? Idk I'm confused nd having a lot of mixed feelings. Nothing else that I find sounds good to me nd if it does then my boyfriend doesn't Like it

Don't settle if you don't like it. My husband and I took forever to figure out the name and when we did it was just it. His family was coming up with some trashy names he wanted his name and his granddads and I said no and we finally figured out out.

Well you still have lots of fine. If your  unsure  why not look through other names and see if you can find one you like better. After all a name is a big deal! There stuck with it forever, you should love it!  In my opinion Elijah James is a very nice name. But it can't hurt to keep looking if your unsure
