Does your SO come up with names or does he just veto and approve names that you suggest?
DH hasn't suggested any names yet so right now he is just vetoing or saying that is ok or I like it.

No, and it drives me insane! I am not pregnant, but we've discussed names and it's always just me saying names and him saying "oh, that sounds nice" or "no way!" Whenever I ask him to come up with some he always says he "can't think of any" or lists of some ridiculous name like "Danger" as a joke.

DH came up with both our kids' first names (I picked the middle names). He actually has really great taste in names!
-
Yes, sometimes. though he does more yes or no-ing of mine. Actually, he just mostly shoots mine down. But once we come up with a name we both like he seriously sticks to it and doesn't understand why I would suggest another boy name when we have the most awesome name ever already decided upon.
He also had previously vaguely agreed to a girl name I love, and recently was like, yeah, I only agreed to that because I don't think we will ever have a girl, but no I don't like it. Men.
And I'm not pregnant. These are all hypothetical. -
He came up with silly ones.
The way we did it neither of us really came up with any out of the blue. We wrote down the names of our deceased grandparents and great grandparents and picked from the list.

My husband chose our LO's name! I think I originally threw it out there, but he really championed it. He also came up with her middle name, although it was a name I had considered but not mentioned to him because I thought he'd think it was too unusual (Imogen).

We're working by process of elimination off the social security names list. If there's a name either of us doesn't like, it's vetoed. It's a bit more fair that way, as we can figure out what we both like!
-
We're not preggo yet, but we've been playing around with names for awhile. Yes, he does suggest names. He even texted me once about a name when he heard it and was like hey! I kind of like that!
-
The only names DH suggests are funny ones that he knows I won't like. We just can't get serious about picking names so we are currently avoiding the conversation all together!
-
Husband was actually the one who came up with son's name.
-
He gave suggestions occasionally, however he was more in the "shoot down" my suggestions camp!
-
DH came up with the middle name that we're set on. we keep throwing out new first names, but we have two top contenders now.
