I think it would be better to have an honest conversation sooner rather than later. You very much should be able to have a say in your baby’s name [name_f][/name_f]- and you should both[name_f][/name_f] be happy with the final option!
[name_f][/name_f]I’d suggest coming up with several possible compromises such as…
[name_f][/name_f]- [name_f][/name_f]
- A first name you both like, followed by his first and middle name as a double middle. So let’s say he was [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] and you both liked [name_m]Arlo[/name_m], his full name could be [name_m]Arlo[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] IV [name_f][/name_f]
- Matching initials [name_f][/name_f]- you could use your husband’s actual middle and pair it with a first name starting with the same letter as his? (Using the example above, it could be [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] could become [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m], or [name_m]Jett[/name_m] Milo) [name_f][/name_f]
- Variations on his name. Are there any variants or similar sounding options that you do like? so he’d still have your husband’s name but his own form of it? (using the above example, [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] → [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] Micah) [name_f][/name_f]
- an additional middle name of your choosing that you could call your son (e.g [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Michael[/name_m] [name_m]Flynn[/name_m] called ‘Flynn’) [name_f][/name_f]
