  1. Maybe pick  a name from his name and a name from your name and combine them. I really don't know of any girls fully named after their mother. A first name or a middle from from the mom, but not both.


  2. You are the one that is carrying the baby. It's your decision, not his.

  3. It would be helpful if we knew the names, because they might just be the type of names that you could combine, or some way use together. But, if you would prefer to keep them private, which I totally understand, I would suggest that the two of you sit down and either see if you can compromise (i.e. I name this kid, you name the next), and if that's impossible, I would suggest starting over, and seeing if ya'll can find a name you both love, and then use your other suggestions as the middle name (or two, in this case). Good luck, hon! And remember, if he won't settle, you don't have to either, but ya'll do need a name you love, so sometimes the best thing may just be to start over.

  4. This is a discussion that's meant to be vocalized. These are ideas that should be shared between the both of you. If it comes to it, you can always use the 'Veto' trick from 'Friends'.

  5. you guys either need to pick a new name together that is neither of those, or one of you needs to compromise.

    You could do one as the first and the other as the middle name.

    Don't do a name one of you will hate or it will be an issue forever!

    This is both of yours baby and you need to compromise on a name!

    My husband wanted Sophia really bad and I would not let him, not because I didn't like it, because his grandma's dog is named Sophie!

    He still talks about how he wanted Sophia... even though we both like the name we picked!

    If we have another girl I will need to give him his Sophia i think...  

  6. honestly, you sound like a teen talking who just asked her boyfriend 'if you had a baby girl what would you name her' and you found out that he wouldn't choose your name. If that's the case, i honestly doubt you two will end up getting married and having kids because that's a long ways away and even if you do, you will be older and more mature to work it out and compromise.

    ....sorry if that's not the case

  7. How about compromising? Since you like his name that helps out a lot. Possibly his name as a first and yours as a middle? Or the other way around. Maybe compining them (Like Emily and Lynn make Emilyn). Or possibly a whole other name in general so that he has HIS name and you have YOUR name and together you're have an OUR name...

    But Good Luck!

  8. Why don't you to work it out. Tell him you don't like the name, and why don't you pick a different name that you both decide on, and then once you have your baby girl or boy, give it the name that's in your heart. Give it a special name, and best wishes.

  9. Have yours be the first and his choice be the middle

    or the other way around

    and if you plan on having more children for the next one just switch it.

  10. have 2 girls

  11. Maybe you can combine them somehow, or have one as first & one as middle. What are the names? (curious now!) You may very well find that when the time comes, neither name feels right for your baby & you will agree easily on something else.

  12. why don't you get married, get pregnant, and make sure you're having a girl first before you start worrying about this.

  13. Why don't you sit down, come up with a first name that you both love, and do a hyphenated middle name combining both of your names. For example: If your name was Elizabeth, and your husband wanted to do that name Kate, do a completely original first name... let's go with Olivia, and then combine the middle names:

    Olivia Elizabeth-Kate Lastname.

    I don't know if that made sense or not, but I tried!

    Good luck, I hope I helped!

  14. it's your husband's baby too. you should talk to him about it.  

  15. If the names sound nice together maybe you could use both..One as the first name and the other as a middle name.

  16. It really should be a name you both like, maybe try using your first name you picked and using the name he picked as the middle or something.  If your not even pregnant yet (assuming) you will probably wind up changing the name anyways, I did anyways and I only have a few weeks left until he gets here :)

  17. how about giving the honor of another relative if you two cannot agree

  18. get married first then plan your family.compromise that is what marriage is all about. no one gets their way all the time.good luck!

  19. maybe you both should sit down, and think of totally different names, or see if you could combine them somehow.....good luck with your baby girl...i wish u 2 the best...
