So let's be honest I really wanted a girl

My husband has always said he didn't want to be "Bob".  He didn't want to be my dad, with two girls, who out numbered him, left him out of jokes or made him the joke.  

Bryan and I started dating when we were 13 (true story).  So he had the inside scoop on what my dad had to go through with two girls and no boys except an English Setter bird dog that would only point on cats.  Bryan felt sorry for my dad to say the least.

So at our 13 wk ultrasound the tech "guessed" it was a boy.  Bryan was out in the waiting room texting everyone and their mother the news.  For some reason I think men think it takes some extra "effort" to have a boy, I pretty sure Bryan thought he was the amazing Hulk that day.

I was slightly disappointed, and I know this is where I am suppose to say - as long as the baby is healthy....yaddi yaddi yadda- the truth is I wanted Bryan to be Bob.  I wanted a sister for Emily to giggle at dad with... and I believe Karma should have supplied Bryan with another girl. Karma instead got me...

But I had a little hope yesterday that maybe the tech was wrong - 13 wks is a little early to be playing the gender guessing game...Nope.  Clearly a boy. 100% a boy.

Now the true battle has arisen - the name game.  I had to flat out tell Bryan that Guillermo was off the table.  He said he loved the name.  Sigh.  I am not okay with this, and again this is not the moment where I am going to play the good wife and let Bryan name "his" son.


Arguments against Guillermo:

1. My name is Megan, My husband's name is Bryan and our daughter's name is Emily....people will question if my son was adopted if we go with Guillermo...just sayin

2. I don't like

3. We live up North where the Hispanic population is not as large as TX (where Bryan and I grew up).  We are surrounded by white people who will most likely pronounce Guillermo as "Guy-er-mo" or just go with Gizmo.  Again not okay.

4.  Bryan says his nick name would be "memo"..... 

5.  Bryan thinks that just because he names his son Guillermo that he will grow up to be a famous goalie ---- I am not basing the name of my son based on how it will sound after "GOOOOOAAALLLL!!!!"


But do I have a name that we both agree on, that we both love - an most importantly a name I love - No.  Nothing is screaming at me (however I do like Liam - I have been vetoed already).

He is going to be called BB for baby boy. Just like a cat I had that Bryan forced me not to name since we weren't going to keep him... his name was BC for black cat... we kept him. And his name remained BC.... we are so in trouble..... my poor kid.
