My husband doesn't like my father's name?
I'm trying to decide if I should force the issue of using my father's name as the baby's middle name once we've found out the baby's sex. Please go to the link and vote.

Thank you
On a normal basis my husband is very level headed and is ready to compromise when needed. We have a very good and loving relationship. In the 9+ years we've been together this is the first time he's been this irrational. Its a huge departure from his normal personality. Is this name that important to him? It seems to be. What should I do?
HA!HA! CNN that made me laugh!!!!
Our last mane doesn't begin with "N" though... ;-)
I have thought of using all 3 names. Doesn't that seem like a bit much in the name department. Kind of long, don't you think?
He and my father get along great. My husband just thinks that my grandparents gave him the "shaft" in the name department.
My father's middle name is John....

I'm usually against the whole 3 name thing, but in this case, it seems it will be the only way your husband will be happy assuming he isn't against the 3 names.
Does he/Did he not like your father or something?
Me, personally, I LOVE the idea of unique names but ones that aren't coming out of left field. Newton really fits into that and I really like it as a middle name.
I suggest you try your hardest to find out why he doesn't like Newton and why he's so hellbent on sticking with Christopher John (and why he's so anti-compromise.) It might be something worth talking over.
Hope that helped... I feel for ya!!

A son should be named after his father first then other family if the father does not want to pass on his name. It seem that you may have just as much of a hang up with the name problem as you think he does. Maybe you need to step back and take a look at why it is so important to you.
May be you could do as my wife and I did and make one name from the two. ie Lynnea from Lynn and Renee
After looking at the poll both of you are getting a name you want frm your choice. If John is not part of the father's name or a family name then it should be the grandfather's name.

Your husband needs to compromise with you, your letting him have the first name of his choice it's only right that you get to have the middle name of your choice.

with you all the way. i like newton. he got the first name, so what's the big deal. it's great to have family name. it would be a nice honor to your father. your husband is being bossy and babyish.

I voted, but I agree with your husband (sorry). You may think of using your dad's middle name for your baby. Any-who, Best of Luck. Hey maybe you'll be having a girl and it won't be an issue.

it should be upto both of u, not just your husband. (a compromise) why dont you do Christopher Newton John. by having both then u are both happy. goodluck.
