I am beginning to think my husband and I will never agree on a name! Anyone else had this problem?

Well you need to compromise at some point. One of you pick the first name (you) one pick the middle name. My husband and i actually kind of chose the first name together and the middle name.

My husband and i like some older music and we have lots of records that we listen to. One of the songs is "Scarborough Fair" part of the chorus is "Parsely, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme" He was joking around saying we need to have 4 more babies and name them those names. At first i was like umm no way, not happening. Then i said the name Sage over a few more times and i loved the sound of it.

I was then talking to a friend online and asked her for some advice on names to go with Sage. She gave us several suggestions which i told my husband and he liked Dominique the best. I have since seen other middle names i like, but he really likes the sound of Sage Dominique so we are sticking with it. I only know of two other girls with this name (Sage) and they don't live near us and one boy of a famous boxer with the name. It's uncommon and we like the sound of it.

Listen to songs you like etc. Maybe pick a name from a song that means something to you both. Go through a baby name book and check out the meanings first and go by that. also you can narrow it down by what letter you want the first name and middle name to start with. I am sure you can both agree on at least this.

I feel for you when you have to decide on what to use for consequences when your child does something wrong, wow.

Good luck!

My first husband was not in the least bit controlling - however, he was the most irresponsible person I've ever met in my entire life. Couldn't trust him with anything. Lovable though. My second 'marriage' (long term relationship) - yes, very controlling. Because of the way my first marriage was I didn't understand what was happening at first, so it took me a while to realise. Now that I'm out of that relationship, I look back and think he really was a sociopath or a narcissist or something of that nature. It was all about him and what I could do for him - it was never about us as a couple.

Since you both can't decided on a baby name you both like...You should try this you each get to come up with two different baby names (first and middle names) and you put the names in a hat and one of you pick and whatever one is picked that will be your baby names. But I would also suggest that it should be names that neither of you hate.

My hubby and I went back and forth. He liked the name Madelyn. I liked the name Audrey...I liked that name for a baby ever since I was a little girl. Originally it was going to be Audrey Olivia...like I had always imagined calling her, but we had to compromise. So we called her Audrey Madelynn (with two N's like my middle name Lynn) And he insisted on calling her Maddie. So I gave in...and we call her Maddie...but she always has the option of going byAudrey...and I can introduce her to people as such and leave Maddie as a family nickname. I think I was just happy my hubby who always swore he never wanted children wanted to participate in the naming of our child.

Maybe he could let you choose the first name and he choose the middle name. Or the other way around.

Oh I had the same problem. he had a name picked out, He wanted Spike Lee if it was a boy. I just had a girls name picked. I didnt want to call my son Spike but I couldnt think of any boy name except a middle name which is Mykel pronounce Michael. Then right when my son was born I was thinking oh gosh we will name our baby spike. My ex hubby ask me do you like the name Andy I was so HAPPY!! So we named our son Andy Mykel... But for the whole 9 months he was stuck on Spike Lee.

I would pick 5 names that I liked and name the baby what I want the day she arrives. Let him pick the middle name.

Honestly, it doesn't matter right now. Even if you did agree on a name there is a big chance you will meet your baby when he or she is born and decide the chosen name doesn't suit him/her. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Once the baby comes your husband will be so happy that he will willingly discuss names.

My husband did not agree with me a lot either. It was tough to find that perfect name. He never liked the names I picked but could never tell me why. But when we did find the one there was no questions we both were thrilled!

yes ,me and my husband went through the same with our daughter,we could not decide or agree on a name for her,he would come up with silly names like jeronimo,to make me laugh,we finally decided and both agreed and called her milly,niamh

Yes, we went through the same thing. It wasn't until after our daughter was born that he said "I don't mind Samantha" and even though it wasn't my first choice, I just agreed. What can you do? After all, she was healthy and beautiful and I'd love her even if her name was pickles.
