do all dads want a son? plus Girls names

[recruitment]

Hi I have a 16month old daughter and another little girl on the way, I cant help feeling as if my husband wanted a son, he has said nothing but I just get the feeling he wants a boy, I guess 1 of each is great but not ment to be for every 1. he said he is over the moon about having another girl but do daddys long for boys....?

my little girl is call Mollie-Jean, we now have to find another girls name any ideas

Aahh, that's a really nice story! I know I am extremely lucky as I had one of each but I know quite a few people who have all girls and they love them to bits.

It very much depends on the person themselves - I always wanted boys and I have two - little girls freak me out a bit. My husband had a slight preference for a girl with our first, but was happy to have a boy and actually preferred to have a 2nd boy as he thought that it would be easier as he now was used to dealing with a boy.

My brother had a son first, but was desperate for a little girl and was over the moon when his little girl was born - he went straight home from the hospital to paint her room pink.

I think lots of guys like to have their baby girls to love and protect - it makes them feel more manly in a way.

I wouldn't worry about the name thing. my brother changed his name anyway! I was concerned about it so I kept my maiden name, but took my hubby's too. I gave my daughter my maiden name as a middle name. So it will carry on in a way. x

i think it sounds like YOU want a boy, not him!

i love little girls! My little Girl is 4 + Gorgeous - Her name is Elisha, which i love - Obviously!
i also love the name Isabella. (Issy or Bella for short.) Hope the rest of your Pregnancy goes well. xx

I have two beautiful sons, and if there was to be a third baby, it wouldn't bother me a hoot what sex they were. Id folk really want children, then they love what they get, and so long as they're healthy and happy, that's all that should matter.

I agree with Ice, the most important thing to worry about is the childs health, thankfully my missus gave birth to two boys who had already been named...Emily and Victoria!

Fantastic!!! I might've wondered about Marilynn or Shirley though.

[ELVIS68]

Nah, Marilyyn was 50`s icon and Shirley was a curly haired child star of the 40`s

Emily was a Corrie icon and Victoria was just ......posh

They`ll thank me for it one day

i was thinking in terms of them being boy's names!!! Wasn't John Wayne a real Shirley? And Marilyn Manson??? Not sure of the spelling there, but you get the gist!
Think the names you've chosen are fine. I have a sister called Victoria. I prefer standard old names to the weird and whacky.

[ELVIS68]

John Wayne was called Marion, Big Daddy was called Shirley

Aww fook, I called my kids Jack and George

[Ice.Maiden]

Ooops!! you're so right! What with posting in the wrong topic, and mis-spellings. : (
Been a long day.
