Ok ladies I have a name question for you! What do you do when DH doesnt agree with the name you are set on? I mean we have obviously been through this since he hated tons of names I proposed(but not loved) with our girls, but this time is different! I found the name I loved for my DS and then decided to try for him! Lol..I mean I am set on this name and will not even look at other names! He has said he isnt really a fan of it because the name is Harland and he thinks ppl will call him Harley for short and he doesnt like that. I dont even want to talk to him about it cuz I get so upset that he doesnt love it! So I guess my question is do I just hope he will come around to it over then next 4 months or just pull the "this was my idea, I swayed and Im carrying him/birthing him" card lol and be ok with the idea that he could dislike our sons name forever! What did you ladies do when you had a name you absolutely loved and DH didnt or vice versa? I just dont think I can let this one go!

My ds2 is Noah I loved this name we had others we both liked Benjamin and Daniel (but for family reasons his middle name is Samuel which for me ruled out daniel oddly not for dh!) dh wasn't convinced by Noah and I thought he'd end up as Ben which I was okay with he arrived in half an hour after I called dh to come home ten minutes after arriving at hospital so dh had parked on their red lines (nearly missed birth as stupid midwife nearly sent him to move it I may have sworn at her ;-( as he left five minutes after birth to move the car midwife said to me does he have a name and I looked at dh and he said Noah, he now loves it and couldn't imagine him as a Ben!

I'd say quietly hold your ground try and find a middle ground name you can both agree on maybe come up with another shortening or nick name to suggest to your dh if that's his only worry about the name and hold your nerve and pray for the labour room buzz to win out!

I think with most men if you push too hard they really dig heels in I'd save that for when he's born if you need it ;-)

DH Hated Ezra's name and I told him to suck it up and until he rips and orange out of his nostril he doesnt get to have much of a choice...l he doesn't like lennons name at all either and I just said well that's what it is so get used to it....I sign the birth certificate I'm very hard headed tho

Omg some guy in my town put his truck for sale online and two guys went with him to test drive... Today they found his body what is going on with people these days? The guy that is being charged is a multi millionare and I can't understand why he would kill someone for a truck

[Wanting-a-girl]

Btw he will come around my DH now loves Ezra's name... It will grow on him

Thanks for the support guys! Fish you crack me up!!! That is totally my DH too, if I get too hard headed it makes him fight back even more so becuase then its about being right or wrong instead of the actual reason for the arguement! I will definitely save my big guns for the delivery room!

I admire you WAG! I really deep down want to be that way and tell him tough that I get the ultimate decision but Im just not that outspoken! Lol..I just have this fear that he will hang it over my head for the rest of time! I dont really think he would but I would hate to have him dislike a name for ever..but then again I love the name enough I might be willing to take that chance! Lol

Im glad to know that others have been in this situation. I guess I just hold tight for the next 4 months and see what names he has to offer on delivery day and go from there! Lol

4Giffins i would keep trying to persuade your DH and dont go with a name you dont love. DS2 is called Ashton and from day 1 DH said he wanted to call him this, i wanted Mason. I said i liked Ash and we couldnt agree on anything else so he ended up being called Ashton and still to this day i dont like his name. I said when he was born, oh it will grow on me and it didnt.

Could your DH pick the middle name maybe. This time i wanted to call this baby Oakley Luca Thomas, DH didnt like Luca or Thomas so i agreed to do a thing called "danny month" (DH's name) where he got everything he asked from off me and in return i could have the names i wanted. Anyway we did "danny month" so i could have the names and now we are having a girl so back to square 1

I would say stick your ground too and dont give up on the name.

Omg WAG how scary, theres some crazy people out there. Makes you wonder what on earth goes through their heads when they can do such a thing.

I told him that if it was a boy his name would be Lennon at about 12 weeks and he said noooooo I said well hope it has a vagina then! And then when I found out its a boy I neve mentioned the name but I posted on Facebook baby Lennon is on his way and he obviously saw that... The other day he finally called him by his name

I will never forget the look on my mothers face when I went to pic ds1 up after my gender u/s when preg with ds3 and said to ds1 well we will be having baby Ezra lol she looked appalled and said I need to choose a real name... Lmao

[fish2012]
