Yes, I am letting him name the baby, as long as its a good name.

In response to BAGD’s post, yes, he is in charge of the baby’s name.  But we did alot of prescreening together before we ever got to this point.  So, I know the names he is thinking of.  I can’t name the baby because its stressing me out.  I don’t remember it being this hard last time.  I can’t find a good middle name for my #1 name.  I like BAGD’s #1 name, but I worry that it might become too popular in a few years.  We like middle names with character, but they are tough to pair up with a good first name.  (my apologies to all those with the middle name Lynn, Marie, Elizabeth, and Anne…but I think your parents copped out on the middle name.)

So, now he is in charge.  I am sure he will do fine, but I do have one emergency veto.  But I don’t expect to use it.

      Thinking of suitable names is certaily more difficult than other people seem to think. I was never able to think of names for my boys. My partner chose the first and second name for our pre-schooler, and my mum chose the first name for our baby.

      I rang her up after my 20 week ultrasound, told her it was a boy, and she started squealing down the ‘phone “oh call him Sam, please call him Sam!”. I said ‘Okay then’.

      I think my agreeing with her kinds stumped her, as she went very quiet around about then ;)

      Good luck to both of you, I’m sure he’ll pick a great name :)

      well, as long as you have veto power, nothing wrong with letting him pick the name. but if it helps, here are some middle names from my family: Claire, Lisa, Abby, June, and Alexandra.

      You are a brave woman. If I had let dh name my daughter, she would have been Heather or Michelle or Jennifer (she is Jessamine Morgen). If I have another girl she will be Odessa Gaia, but if we have another boy, it will be a Jr., which makes me twitch just thinking about it.
