Q: Confliction of interest..

We are due to have a little girl in 15 weeks time and are stuck for a name.

Well I say stuck and actually mean we are fighting like cats and dogs over her name!

My partner likes one name and I like another, the problem is we both dislike each others chosen name.

Any time I come up with a new suggestion he turns his nose up at it or has never heard of it...lol

Is anyone else having this problem? Help!! lol

From the word get go, I told hubby he can name the baby if its a boy and me if its a girl, he chose Tristan for our baby boy but sadly ended in a still birth and baby grew wings @28 weeks. Now I am pregnant again, the girls name is sorted if it is a girl but same thing as you with the boys name, everything I like he doesnt we agreed on Damian but now I dont like it so much any more hmmm.... Its very difficult but I really like what tinkerbell26 said :) Hubby said I can choose the name regladless but then he needs to back off lol....

Thats the thing, we are trying to chose a name we both like but it's hard when i'm the only one thinking them up!

That's why I think I should get the last say if I need to put all the effort into thinking of names.

He just says yes or no to anything I think.

He seems to think I will chose better names than anything he would think of.

I wish I never thought of the name he likes because I have come to loathe it!!!

It's important to choose a name you both really like. Ok, you have to carry her for nine months, but he still has to look after her for the rest of her life. If he's not responding well to names you suggest, why not try asking him to pick some other choices, or go through a names book together? Hope you find a name you both love :)

We are exactly the same, the one I really like is just ok to him.

Well he said it just didn't sound as great as the one he likes, although he knows I have trouble saying the one he likes!

Hi there, im 24wks and due a little girl aswell and theres one or two names we both like but the one i really like my hubbie thinks is just 'ok' but as i said to him im the one not drinking not eating what i want, not sleeping properly sore boobs etc etc :) And then having to actually give birth so when its comes to names i think the mommy should have the last say on the name maybe its just me tho but i think its only fair after all 9 months is a long time. Just my opinion tho :) :)
