Q: 9 Weeks Pregnant And My Husband Has All Naming Rights Help!!

When our daughters was born my husband felt left out because I choose the name on my own (kenzington arin & lexington nicloe freeman) so I told him he would have creative control over the next one. Well the next one is on its way, i'm 9 weeks pregnant, and boy is he excited!.......But he wants to name it if its a boy guy raymond after his fathers, brother who died in a cart and horse accident in 1927. I absolutly hate the name, but am afraid to hurt his feelings. (btw he is only 26 but his father is 87). He wants ireland rose for a girl which I can stand. What shall I do about it with out making him hurt or angry?

Find some way to compromise. What about naming it ray instead of raymond. Or just sit down with him and tell him how you feel and talk about names you both like. I don't know what to tell you since you did say he could name it. However, i've always believed that both parents should find a name they both like.

Mabye you should suggest raymond as a middle name, or suggest that its far to formal and a littl eold fashioned , but raymond does make a hell of a good middle name

good luck

Looks like your in the same boat i'm in.

I named my daugher christine after his great aunt who passed away. He had absolutly no say in it and he gets dibs on this one. If its a boy he wants thomas named after a really close friend of ours who passed away, that name is good. But if its a girl the name willimena has been tossed around. His name is william. Poor girl. I like the name brooke. Now I wish I would have given him some say in the first one. What you do is you give him a book of names that way he has more of a choice, hopefully he'll run across a name you both like.

Willemina should not be a choice-that is horrible-billie on the other hand can also be a girls name

I just wanted to make a comment that you have some unusual (not bad) choice names. Laughing

Kenzington and lexington?? And youre complaining about guy raymond?? I'll admit i'm not too big on the guy thing and raymond is a good middle name, ireland is adorable for a girl...So maybe you should work out a compromise on the boy name...Give him raymond as a middle...I went through credits after movies and wrote down all the cool named I saw...It helped
a friend of mine let her man have all the naming rights to their kids...Her son is named nikolie deo...Poor little guy

I honeslty think you have to talk to him about this. I mean this is both your child, and he let you choose last time, but im sure if he hated the name he would have told you. Neither of you should have to live with a baby name you dont like... Maybe raymond could be a second name, comprise, and tell him you know what you said, but you couldnt live with yourself knowing you hate your childs name... I cant imagine how hard that could be.

I have to agree with you on the raymond thing...Its not that great of a name, and I would go for a middle name. That's kinda where i'm going with having my husbands and my future son ashton harvey willis, harvey being my favorite grandpa's first name. Not good for first name...

He wanted william robert...But it was a trick...He wants to call him billy bob. Ha! Never trust them....=0)

you need to respect your husband's decision, since you gave him the opportunity, and especially if he didn't have a choice in his daughters names. But I would push for the middle name....

Hi...My boyfriend and I just went though the same thing. It is hard picking out a name you'll have to kive with for the rest of your life. Ireland is sweet. I had carrington picked out, but he hated it. He hated everything I liked and vise-versa.
