Hello-
[name_u]Baby[/name_u] is due in 14 days! If baby is a girl, she will have [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as a first or middle name and O’[name_u]Neal[/name_u] as a last name. I prefer a more uncommon first name and [name_f]Kate[/name_f] as a middle because it is a pretty common name. My husband likes [name_f]Kate[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f], and while both names are fine separate, together they bore me. I really like [name_u]Alva[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f], but I am trying not to get stuck on it because I don’t think he will like it. He has shot down all my other ideas ([name_f]Anya[/name_f], [name_u]Simone[/name_u], [name_f]Veda[/name_f]). I want my tiny baby to have a name that isn’t shared with 7 other kids once she starts school. Please help! Thanks!
What about [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]? It’s pretty ‘normal’ because [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is so popular, but it’s still different and not many other girls will have it. And it’s sort of a smush of [name_u]Alva[/name_u]/[name_f]Anya[/name_f] and [name_f]Veda[/name_f].
Or maybe [name_f]Alma[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]? Again, [name_f]Alma[/name_f] is a bit more common than [name_u]Alva[/name_u] but it’s still a different.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]? I know [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is also pretty common, but was thinking since you like [name_u]Alva[/name_u], but are afraid your husband won’t like it maybe [name_f]Ava[/name_f] is a nice alternative.
Other thoughts:
[name_f]Anna[/name_f]/[name_f]Annabel[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!!
So here’s the deal - you aren’t required to agree to something that bores you. Yes, it may take more work and seem like a hassle, but you can work this out! There are many ideas for couples in this situation on line - (taking turns with lists, brackets, using name generators, etc.). Choose a process that frames the issue differently and isn’t just more fruitless discussion. Many of us have had partners who veto rather than add to the discussion, and men especially seem to like the names of their own generation rather than what is currently in style. Take a step back and a deep breath and see if you can come up with a way to have the discussion before you actually decide on a name. Good luck! There’s still plenty of time.

[name_f]Ada[/name_f] is my suggestion as well! I don’t care for your other names, including [name_u]Alva[/name_u].
Hmm…
I like the suggestions from others off [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] which is a nice combination off [name_f]Anya[/name_f]/[name_f]Ava[/name_f]/[name_u]Alva[/name_u] and yet could appeal too your husband’s traditional taste.
