DH doesn't like my name choice!

Samo · Aug 21st, 2008, 12:17 PM

Just need to rant! I had some girlie names set in my mind that i've been thinking of over the week and after finding out LO is a girl i thought i had the perfect names! DH never wanted to discuss names until we found out the gender, so I brought up my ideas and such and...

NO!

he gave me a flat out no!!! Now we are back to square 1 and both of us are stumped on names!

Has this happened to anyone?? did your OH come around to liking the name or did you have to come up with new ones and compromise? I just can't seem to get my mind around any other name...horrible i know! I should keep an open mind but nothing 'sticks'

Chris (my hubby) didn't like the name Toby for a boy but I couldn't think of any others I liked so we were stuck.

Hubby told kids that baby was going to be a boy and Mummy liked the name Toby....kids referred to "bump" as Toby after that so we had to call him................................Toby

Well my OH told me he didnt like the name i had chosen either but i found out he told my friend we are calling him that name so i guess he has come round to the idea!!

i think i am going to txt and email him the name over and over while he is at work

im gonna try and make it stick!

but now i am scared what if family does not approve

i really shouldn't care as long as we love it though.

maybe i should think of other name choices too lol need a variety! any ideas?

My OH doesn't have much to say about our name choice. Not sure if he likes it or not.

But he knows I don't move if I want something. So he's kinda got to come around to the idea.

My OH has kinda gone off of one of the possible names for mini pp so ....

he's going to call her that for a few days instead of "princess" and see how he gets on, maybe you could coax him into trying something like that?
