Why

Why is it so hard to agree on a baby name? 

Ugh.  And why does DH toy with me by saying OK to one of my favorite names then being adamant that it is a TERRIBLE  name the next day. And since when is Ethan the name of a long hair surfer dude?

Because if he give you a hard time now, it will make his Christmas present of "whatever name you want, dear" so much sweeter? We can hope, right?! Big Smile

Aw man! I love Ryan, how can you go wrong with that?

We aren't pg but talk baby names all the time. Our top 2 as of tonight are Bradley and Benjamin. We never talk girl names! Lol

I think you should set a date and if you haven't agreed on a name by then you get soul naming rights. Maybe that'll light a fire under his tush :)

Aparently he agreed to Ryan in a moment of weakness to get me "to shut up" haha.  So sweet, my man.  We talked about Ryan like honestly 8 years ago or something.  I have always loved it.  Then we get KU and all of a sudden its an awful name.  He can't effing waver on that for one second and give me hope!  So rude.  Tsk.  I guess its for sure hands down definitely off the list though.

We did agree that Jacob and Mark aren't bad.  However, I personally am crossing off Jacob.  And I like at least 2 syllables I think?  I'm not crossing Mark off yet but I don't think its right.

I printed off the top 500 names from 2007 (the year we got married) and I'm taking a pen to it.  5 pages of names, 3 columns each page.....seriously, we have to agree on at least one name right?

What if you take a break from discussing it for a week? You don't have to decide just yet. And it will get you through christmas without being frustrated about it.

H originally said no to Owen, then a week later suggested it... men!

We know too many jacks, so we decided against it.

We don't talk about it often. Two nights ago was the first i mentioned a name again, and yesterday was just follow up. I know we have time but i seriously miss calling baby by name. I feel like that's part of my bonding by using his name. H knows i want to name him in the near future. I'm trying not to bring it up too often but it gets to me.

I don't want naming rights. But i want his participation every so often! I know he isn't feeling well right now so the name talk is very limited.

We are having the same problem with girl names. We don't know the gender yet but I like to have a name picked out for each sex before the AS. If you figure out how to get DH to agree, let me know!

H was the same way naming Owen. if he showed any interest in a name I suggested, i would consider it settled. so he started saying he hated every name I suggested. the night we named Owen, I walked into our bedroom and said Ok, we need to decide, I like Owen and Colin. to which he said, "no effing way" to both. about an hour later he said, are you ok w Owen Patrick? he had to think hard about whether he liked a name before showing any interest for fear of getting my hopes up...I'm glad he finally came around. can you throw your top two names and let him think long and hard? he will come around - otherwise I vote you get to pick :)

My top3 names are
Ryan."terrible name"
Logan. "girl name;
Ethan. "long hair surfer dude name"

So....I'm having trouble dropping Ryan since its been in my head for over 8 years. The other two i let go of.

Im not going to bring it up until after Christmas but its still frustrating. I feel baby kicking me and playing and i just want to say hi and use his name.
