I hate that name?

Question

I am pregnant with my second child. My husband likes the names Amber Alissa
Anastacia Amelia
Oleshia Jade
Mya Mariann
I hate all of those names. Our first daughters name is Andrea Joy.
I love the name Sarah Elizabeth. What should I do with my husband hating that name. I love that name and hate all of his ideas. He loves his ideas and hates mine.

Answer 1

I don't get it. In the other question you said you weren't pregnant. Which is it? Are you pregnant or aren't you?

Edit:
Anyways, with name conflict you might each want to come up with a big list of girl names. He crosses off the ones he doesn't like. You cross off the names you don't like. Choose a name from the names that both of you like. That's one idea.

Another idea is that you can compromise. You choose the first name and he chooses the second name. (That idea's kinda scary though because you never know what he's going to choose).

Answer 2

I think the best thing to do would be to start with a clean slate. If he doesn't like yours and you don't like his, then you aren't getting anywhere. Start looking again and maybe compromise a little Maybe he can pick the first name and you can pick the middle or vice versa. My husband and I are looking at baby names and we both like the name "Dakota" only I want it for a GIRL and he wants it for a BOY. I like the name so much I agreed and he chose the middle name. But, we are unsure about a girl name. There are a ton of books and websites out there and start looking (again). I like different names and he likes traditional ones. I understand where you are coming from because everytime I throw a name out there that I love he says..."NO" Sometimes the best thing to do is compromise, and there are SO many names out there that I just KNOW the both of you will like. Don't be stubborn and just remember that you BOTH can name the baby and you can love the name. : )
I wish you the best of luck! !

Answer 3

This sounds funny, but worked for us. We got a dry erase marker and wrote all the names that we both liked on the fridge. Neither of us were allowed to erase any name for the first 3 days. Friends and family added to our list, we erased ones we could not stand and lived with the other until they bothered us. After a few weeks we were down to about 7 names that we both either liked or could live with, then we played with how they sounded together and what they meant to us and came up with a name!

Answer 4

Well, personally out of all those names the only one I like is Amber. My daughters name I Amber kate.

My husband liked the name Catherine Elizabeth. I didn't like it at all, but we compomised since he could use the name Kate, instead of Catherine.

Somhow you and your husband will have to compromise or come up with a totally different name you both like.

Answer 5

what about sarah jade? or mya elizabeth? or any other combination of names? you and your husband should compromise somehow, whether you both pick both names or if you pick the first name and he picks the second or if you just throw random names into a hat and go with the first two you draw out.

my husband and I debated over names up until after I gave birth even. but when we saw the baby and found the right name, we just knew it was the right name for her.

Answer 6

Wow, I have to say I love the name Sarah Elizabeth. I have a cousin with that name. Everyone calls her Sallie-beth. It is cute. I would say that the best thing to do is keep looking at names until you can come up with one you both love. Good luck.

Answer 7

O.k.... ummm I think the best thing here is for ye two to compramise about this. Sit down and disguss it in adult terms. Ye may have a small fight but this kind of fight is a healthy one. Maybe one of ye pick the first name and the other the second name? is a suggestion. Good luck (how about Fiona, Leah, Chloe, or Aoife)

Answer 8

I agree that some form of compromise is in order. Here are a few ideas:

Sarah Elizabeth, nicknamed Sadie

Sarah Jade, possible nn Sadie/Sally/Sage -- or you could call her Sarah and he could call her Jade

Amelia Elizabeth, nn Amy/Mia/Lia
Anastasia Jade, nn Ana/Annie/Stacy
Mariann Elizabeth, nn Mari/Annie/Maribeth

A few more name ideas that you both might like:
Julianna, nn Julie/Anna/Annie/Ann
Maribeth or Mary Beth
Jocelyn
Mara/Maura
Megan/Meghan
Elise
Elena/Alaina
Ava/Eve/Evelyn
Marissa
Bethany

Good luck finding something you both can agree on!

Answer 9

comprimize
what about sarah jade thats pretty who named the first child if one of you picked the first childs name then the other could pick this one tell your husband to sit down with his list of names and write down every goofy nickname he can come up with from his picks you do the same think about the child in the future you are pinning something on that child it can never change easily good luck

Answer 10

Why don't you each pick 1 name and then have your friends and family vote on which one is the best. That name will be the first name & the other will be the middle. Good luck!
