Questions & Answers

We had the same problem, we couldn't agree on a name for our girl. So when she arrived early we still didn't have a name. She was nameless for the first day and a half - but then all of sudden, out of the blue hubby said a name and instantly knew it was right! Sometimes you need to meet your little one before you know their name :)

Do tears work on him?? :-D j/k

Do any of the names he likes start with the same letter as one you like? If you can find one that you like that starts with the same letter as one of the 4 he likes, just use his as the middle name! So if he likes one that starts with "L", go through your list and find all the "L" names you love and pick the first name and give him the middle name. Definitely a compromise but worth a shot:-)

We have problems deciding what's for dinner most nights, so naming a person was a big task for us!! LOL

We thought we'd never agree either, but miracles do happen and we did finally decide this week. We picked Emma (in the end it came down to Emma and Gwen) but compromise came into place. Gwen is in "reserve" in case the next child is a girl.

In your case though, pick two names and make one her middle name. My baby girl's middle name will be after my mom who passed away (we couldn't use "Gwen" for a middle name anyway since that would have made her initals "EGG" lol). I'd read somewhere to try calling the baby a different name a day and see what sounds good. We actually knocked about 5 names off "the list" by doing that. Another night we sat down with a baby book and wrote down every single name either of us liked. Then we discussed and knocked a few off that way too.
