Yes, and add a class of defendants of all skinny white women driving black SUVs, with a claim of insufficient spunkitude in namology.

And just to be clear, I blame myself for listening to DCUM. Not actually blaming anyone for their opinions. OP

I knew someone would say that. Definitely not PPD, happiest I've ever been. Just a feeling of we got everything right..except his name.

Those names are all in the same category to me.

Let me get this straight. It's my -- my -- fault that you don't like your kid's name -- a year after he was born. Because it's not "spunky" enough.
Unreal.
Unreal.

Was it really something "spunky" like Leo or Max or was it Braden or Ryder? Big difference. Leo and max are fine names.

(Think William or Henry) I really wanted to go with something a bit spunkier (Think Leo or Max) and almost a year later, still regret not using the name I wanted. Our son would have fit that name perfectly.
So, please let this be a lesson to others. Choose the name you want and don't allow others to sway your decisions. I'm still feeling bad about our decision and wonder if I always will
I'm sorry that you're so hung up on this still. Wow.

You can call William Liam, or Henry Hank to get a little spunk out of the traditional.
FWIW, I think of Leo and Max the same as William and Henry - they're all in the Grandpa/Old Man category in my eyes.
