Got a bit of a sticky problem here ladies....I'm having a little boy in the next few weeks. Now, my husband's family have this weird tradition that the first son in every generation is named Nicholas John - to give you a clue of how far back this goes, my husband is number seven in a line.
Now I love the name, but when LO is older, that means there will be three Nicholas Johns living in the same village. And it's not a big village. As a compromise, I'm thinking of insisting on Nicholas Jack instead - Jack being my Grandfather's name and meaning exactly the same as John.
I know it's terrible to be the one to break the tradition, but seriously, what do you think?
