Baby boy name.
Since we found out we are having a boy is been so hard finding names. I have a daughter and when I was 5 months pregnant I had the name but somehow it seems hard naming a boy what the husband likes I dont and vice versa. I am due soon, October 25th. So I want to know what you guys think of Cepheus ryan. my husband really likes the meaning on the date I am due the constellation is going to be visible.
Here is the meaning of cepheus:
Cepheus ( IPA: /ˈsiːfiəs, ˈsiːˌfjuːs/) is a northern constellation named after King Cepheus in Greek mythology, and is considered to represent a king. It is one of the 88 modern constellations, and was also one of the 48 listed by Ptolemy. |

congrats & welcome!!!
Personally, I think you should name your child whatever you & your dh like. Would you have a nickname for him? I think it's neat and clever...but remember, it's not possible to please everyone on the internet, so it's more important what you 2 think of your chosen name.
How exciting....I remember being so thrilled (and exasperated at times) picking Conner's name. I too thought it was easier to think of 1,000,000 girls names. There were only 2-3 boy names we could agree on, and only 1 we both loved.

Welcome to Families and congrats on your pregnancy, i agree that everyone won't like the name and what's important is that you both do..Good luck!

Welcome to the board!
If you and DH like the name, go for it.
Yes, you have to consider nicknames and what the 3 intials in a row might spell. You would probably not like initials from Andrew Samuel Smith.

Well, now my hubby changed his mind about Cepheus and likes Athos Ryan better and the initials will be the same as my daughter. A.R.V.
