Re: How do you agree on a name????

i feel your pain! I have suggested so many names, but DH hates all of them. And he has suggested -maybe- one. For DS, we didn't agree on a single boy's name until like 37 wks. That was the only one we agreed on!
I am hoping the same thing will happen (that before we deliver, we will magically come up with a name we both like).
Good luck!!

Re: How do you agree on a name????

We were able to agree on a girls name. I pretty much made a list and read them off to him. He told me which he liked and didn't. As for a boy, we are having a bit more trouble, which is why I'm sure we'll have a boy! LOL

Re: How do you agree on a name????

For our boys name I had a favorite (Logan) and he had a favorite (Connor). I ended up splitting the difference and saying he could have the boy name if I could have the girl name. We're having a boy. The name that he liked the best has really grown on me. Now I can't imagine our little boy being anything other than Connor.

Re: How do you agree on a name????

we had a hard time. we had a few names we liked before getting pregnant but then starting changing our minds. I would list like hundreds of names and DH would say no to everything! He was driving me nuts!!! Everytime there was a name he was so so about i added it to a short list....and from there we finally agreed on names. It took awhile but we finally agreed!

With DD#1- we had a couple of names but after watching me give birth he said I could name her whatever I wantedChat Icon

This time- he gets to pick and he already knows what he wants for boy AND girl.

Re: How do you agree on a name????

we have the same problem with boy names - everything he loves I hate and everything I love he hates. We will be finding out tomorrow if it is a Chat Icon or Chat Icon and then take it from there. We already have a girl name we both love and agree on.

We picked his favorite first time around, this time I get to pick my favorite, but that hasn't helped, I still can't decide!

Crashing - with DS we were team Green and agreed on top couple of girl names. Boy names were hard and we didn't agree.

We had a boy under scary circumstances (severe pre eclampsia, emergency c section) and as soon as he was out and the doctor said it's a boy, I said "I know his name" Chat Icon Although we didn't officially give him that name until he was 5 days old, once we saw him, we both agreed that it was the best fit for him.

Re: How do you agree on a name????

I let him have the first name if baby was a boy (I had a middle name picked out already) and he let me have the name if baby was a girl.

Baby is Chat Icon. he wins but I like his name.

Next child girl or boy, I get to pick Chat Icon

Re: How do you agree on a name????

I've been joking around telling DH since he gets the last name, it's only fair that I get the 1st name.. Chat Icon

We are most likely going with a classic/old fashioned name.. we seem to be on the same page for the most part. But we haven't settled on anything yet. I guess we should with only 6 weeks left! Chat Icon

Same here. And we're not even close on any names. I pretty much hate what he likes and vice versa. I bought a huge baby name book and I figure when we find the right name we will know and we will finally agree.

Re: How do you agree on a name????

We were working with specific letters because we are naming the baby after family members that have passed. I suggested many names to my dh but he vetoed them because according to him they sounded like stripper names (hes crazy)! Finally I suggested a name and he approved it was challenging
