I let my husband choose our daughter’s name. We narrowed our list down to three and then I let him have the final vote. I would have chosen a different name, but I let him make the call. I figured mothers get to experience so many wonderful moments during the pregancy that a father can never fully appreciate at least he could name his child. He was thrilled to be able to have this opportunity and it made her ‘daddy’s girl’ from the start.
Here are some suggestions, I hope you and your husband find one you both love!
