Dh and I can't agree on a name for baby boy.
He "hates" the name I love, but said I can name our son whatever I want.
Would you name your son something your husband hates? Hahaha it's an awesome name.
-.-
Pretty sure we won't ever agree on a name..
I like traditional strong biblical names. He likes wild crazy names

I don't think I could name him something he hated! Maybe if you guys came up with an agreed up 4-5 names, and then you got the final say?
Good luck!

What about making the name you like a middle name and compromising on the first name? DH picked both of our kids' names, so I'm really not much help on this issue, lol.

I would use the name he hated as the middle name and try to come up with a name you both like for the first name! @adnama: I like the idea of coming up with a list that you then get to make the final choice from.

I eliminated names that DH hated. Can't wait to hear what you pick ... in the end!

I don't think I could choose a name DH hated because, if the tables were turned, I wouldn't want to name LO something that I hated. I would rather sacrifice the name I love for one that we both really like.

DH wasn't on board with DS's name at first - any chance he'll change his mind? hehe
I say he has to give a little on his crazy name, use it for a middle name and maybe you can come to a mutual agreement on a biblical/traditional first name?
can't wait to hear the name you pick!

DH didn't like Prettybabys name but it was important to mme because it was my Grandma's name. Now that it's her name, he loves it and couldn't imagine her having a more awesome name. I win! lol!

He seriously comes up with the craziest names. -.- there's a good chance baby boy will be a DH jr. The only name we both like! -.-

@chopsuey119: EEEEE!!!!! DO IT!!!! We were a little hesitant at first but you can't go wrong, especially with a classic name! Plus you get the choice to call them Junior... or the nickname Wagon Jr. goes by!!! RJ and your little boy, they can MATCH!!!! (don't want to disclose your DH's first initial, hehe)

@mrs. wagon: hahah the only thing is, he's got such a strong web presence.. We don't want our son to feel like he's gotta compete with his dad. :T
Hahahaahh! We'll see though.
My 2 favorite men from the bible are dh's name and the name dh hates! The guy he hates was such an awesome man though.. -.-

@chopsuey119: We couldn't agree either. We ended up choosing C's name when she was born. It was the only one we could agree on!

@chopsuey119: What, you don't love the idea of a son named "Garrosh Hellscream" or something like that?
blogger / watermelon / 14218 posts
@chopsuey119: oh true... but then again, he can make his OWN name as DH first name, last name, JUNIOR! I can't help but think that it's meant to be since DH first name guy from the bible was one of your favorites...!! I felt that way about Wagon Sr.'s name (not biblical, but classic American name) so I was sooo happy when we decided to go with it.
Trying to guess your favorite name... difficult though!

@mrs. wagon: my mom prayed that we would marry a man like my favorite guy. He literally ran from temptation

@chopsuey119: eeee!! In that case I love the name!! obviously, based on my name tastes....
Gonna write on your wall because this is getting a little too close!!

DH & I easily agreed on a first name, but the middle was harder. I wanted names like William, DH wanted names like Evel (as in Evel Kinevel). We listed out all the names to be considered, vetoed any that we couldn't live with, and then each created our own list from the names left. We numbered the names to show most-to-least favorite. Then we compared lists & choose the name that we both favored. So, DS's middle name was my 3rd choice & DH's 4th choice.
