It will be his own special name. This is the PERFECT opportunity to show respect to the father of your child. Lack of respect is the number one reason for men leaving women. I think also that your boyfriend will be more involved in your son's life if you namesake him.
This is just my opinon...CONGRATS on the new life!

If you are giving the baby his last name, tell him that it's enough of an honor and namesake to have the baby carry on the family name. It will already have part of his name, why does he need the whole name? Or even make the middle name Carlos instead of the first, and agree on a different first name.

That's a tough one. I'm all for giving a kid his own name too. I couldn't stand it growing up when the phone would ring and they would ask for Ron I would have to say the younger one or the older one. Now that my brother is an adult he has had some identity problems too. He received some retirement stuff in the mail that was supposed to go to my Dad and some records got messed up. They have different middle names and it still got messed up because they are both doctors. I would try that arguement. If that doesn't work, do what I did, remind him that you are the one that has to go through labor, you should get to pick.
I just read your other post where you said that the father wants nothing to do with this baby. You should name the baby whatever you want. Better yet, give it up for adoption to a married couple that really wants a child.

Comprimise with him and tell him Carlos can be the Middle Name if it is a boy
Johnathan Carlos ____________ for example
but don't have your hearts set on a boy it could be a girl
either way you are very blessed to have the baby coming
good luck and congrats on the baby

Maybe your boyfriend will go for a compromise if you give the baby Carlos for a second name.

If you truly don't want the name don't do it you are the one to have the baby you are the one who will raise him you name him I had almost the same issue my ex didn't like the name I had picked out but I stuck to my guns and said if when he was born the name didn't fit him I would change it even my mom was calling him Benjamin the whole time because she didn't like the name either he is now 7 and everyone loves the name I picked
CHANCE and it totally fits him :)

How about saying to your husband that you would like Carlos to be the middle name so it can be passed onto the next generation then if you have a boy it can be ............. Carlos John .............
... are the bits you put in! good luck

How about using his first name as the babies middle name. It's called compromise....Also let your boyfriend know that it can get very confusing to have two people in the house with the same name, especially as your child gets older.

Compromise. With my third child, my husband and I both picked a name. Then we arranged them according to what sounded best. We both got to pick, and it worked out really well. Making the baby was a joint project, naming the baby should be too.

well its both of yours and his baby but since your not married he doesnt hold any claim to the child.however if you two get married he will.an unwed mother has most rights with the child but he could get a lawyer.i would split from him and name the baby after your father. how about john carlos?it does have a ring to it.
