Naming babies is the worst part of my pregnancies.

posted 29th Oct
My husband is so unhelpful. He doesnt make suggestions and he shoots down all of mine. I feel like every girl has names picked out in her head for potential children from the time we are little. So I suggest tons of James that I LOVE and just makes this stupid face at me every single time to let me know he doesn't like it. I feel like naming should be fun but it NEVER is for us. With our son we just named him after both of our dads, that was easy. With our daughter we didn't have a name picked that we both liked. I suggested tons of beautiful names, and he just made his stupid face every time. We settled on Jillian Claire after she was born because Jillian was a name that I didn't completely hate and Claire is his gandmother's name. I'm still kind of bitter about my daughter's name, I absolutely HATE the nickname Jill. I just wish he would be more open index and helpful. Now with this baby he is again not making any suggestions and just shooing down every one I suggest. I know I'm early but we started this early with my daughter and we still had no name when she was born.
I almost just want him to not have a day anymore. But that's not nice.

If he doesn't want to help, stop asking him. I'd just pick out a name and go with it. If he makes a fuss, then he can choose, if not, it's the one you picked.

I agree with the previous posters. I'd just name her myself. You're not the one being incosiderate, he is. You gave your best try at being reasonable.

I named my last two on my own, didnt ask for opinons at all. My oldest dd's dad named her (Tatyana) and its not horrible, but he is a dead beat so....

My younger two have the same dad, after our 4 yr old was coming and I asked him to help and he suggested names like leelou and Julie and cant even remeber the aweful boys names.

I named my kids myself, didnt even tell him the names I picked out at all, till all the papers were signed. lol if he is going to give ugly names he takes no part in it. lol

Well I don't think he's really being immature, I just think he's being lazy and picky. And I would just pick a name and say its done, but he wants to be involved with the naming, and really we both made the baby, I want both of us to be involved in the naming. He just sucks at it. The only suggestions he HAS made are Nico for a boy, and Marie as a middle name for a girl. I like nico but I don't think it goes well with our other kids' names and Marie is every little girl born in the 80's middle name. No thanks.

I mean, that's who she is now so it's fine. But deciding on a name was miserable.

I am sorry. Naming should be a good part. I loved picking out my sons name.
