I’m almost 24 weeks pregnant with my second son. My first little guys name is [name_m]Lincoln[/name_m] [name_m]Joshua[/name_m]. Last time, it was really easy to find a name but my husband and I have found no middle ground when it comes to baby names this time around.
I have two names I’ve been in love with for years, [name_m]Lucius[/name_m] and [name_f]Merril[/name_f]. My husband has nixed [name_m]Lucius[/name_m], [name_m]Lucien[/name_m], [name_m]Lucas[/name_m] or even [name_m]Luke[/name_m]. The name [name_f]Merril[/name_f] he isn’t really fond of either.
I’ve been doing all the looking and making of lists, he’s been nixing about 99% of everything I’ve chosen. In addition to that, he can’t even give me a few names he even likes so I can have a base to work with.
We did almost choose a name, [name_u]Noah[/name_u], but I just can’t use a biblical name as a first. Plus, to make it worse, I found out that its in the top 10 most popular names list.
I’ve searched over every list on this website (all except the ones only for girls) and I can’t find a single name we can both agree on.
I don’t know how to get him to compromise with me and I don’t know how to compromise with him so we can get our little guy a name.
[name_m]How[/name_m] did you compromise with your partner so you could both be satisfied with a name that’s not necessarily one of our favorites?
