Husband and i cant agree on baby names which sounds better?

Question

my husband and i both like the names evan and joseph but he wants to put them together and i dont happen to like the combination i want either

evan kai

or caleb joseph should i just give up and let him name his first son cause it wont kill me for him to have a name im not that fond of or should he be more sensitive to the fact that i really really dislike the combination. which name would you choose

Answer 1

I personally like all three options... but YOU are the one who has to push this baby out and feel the affects of pregnancy this whole time! So, I think he should be more considerate of your opinion.

Answer 2

I think all the combinations sound pretty good together but my least favorite is Evan Kai. Whenever I hear the name Kai, it sounds like the parents are trying too hard to be unique. I don't mean any offense by that, but that name is just a bit off. I don't hate it but I think Joseph would serve as a much better middle name for Evan.

I like Evan Joseph. If you like both names, I think the combination will grow on you. Good luck!

Answer 3

Joseph Evan came from heaven.

Evan Joseph...I can't think of a rhyme.

I like Evan Joseph better. Why can't you just be happy that you both have a name chosen for him? Kai sounds chinese or something.I don't care for it at all.Good luck and don't fight about it...be happy, you're having a sweet boy that will amaze you every day. I wished I had girls but now I'm really glad I didn't because boys are so fun and interesting with their building and inventing and digging in the dirt. God bless your little family.

Answer 4

I think Evan Joseph sounds really good together...  better than the other combos.  But everyone on here is just giving their opinion, all that matters is what you and your husband like.

Answer 5

What about Kai Joseph?  I happen to think that is a cute combo :)

Answer 6

Evan Kai i like that name but you both should agree that way the baby has a name both his parents like..

Answer 7

I like Evan Joseph...Joseph being the middle name

Hope this helps!

Answer 8

Let him choose between Evan or Joseph and let you choose the other name. Work together and it will be Evan Steven. ( :

Answer 9

I hate Evan Kai and Caleb Joseph.  ESPECIALLY Caleb Joseph.  It sounds terrible together.

Evan Joseph or Joseph Evan are both good to me.

It's your(and your husbands) decision though.

Answer 10

evan joseph is not that bad and to be frank it doesnt really matter about the middle name as long as you like the first one  good luck!!

Answer 11

I like evan kai, but depending on how far along you are, you could always wait until he is born and let him decide on what name it should be.  When you look at him, you will know what name is best for him.

Answer 12

Evan Kai sounds the best to me :)

Answer 13

I think that Joseph Evan or Evan Joseph both sound fine.  Not too fond of Caleb Joseph but Joseph Kai sounds good to me.

Answer 14

Evan Joseph is great.  It flows.  Joseph Evan doesn't work.  Do you hear the feh-feh that happens in the middle when you say it all?  Go with Evan Joseph and be done with it.  Evan Kai is weird.  Sounds like Chai tea.  Caleb Joseph is good as long as he likes Caleb.  Compromise already.

Answer 15

Evan Joseph or Joseph Evan are both fine names.  I really, really don't like Kai or Caleb.  Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear. I think traditional, classic names are always the way to go, and will never sound outdated, or like you are trying too hard to be different.

Answer 16

evan joseph sounds fine to me...

Answer 17

Caleb Joseph.

My friend's newborn was named Caleb.  

Answer 18

caleb joseph is as really cute name.. its a boy so just let him choose..it makes him  think he has power and he will feel so good about thinking of the name

Answer 19

Evan Marcus and Joseph Keanu ... very elligant names

Answer 20

I think Joseph Evan would be nice.  I love the name Joseph.  I was having a boy that would be his name because it my father's middle name, and Jo is my middle name.
