I like the names
GIRL-- Arley, Ainsley, Kait, Layla, Roxy and Belle. He doesn't like any of them!
BOY- Declan, Griffin, Cameron, Thomas, Eli, Jaxon- he doesn't like any of them either!
He likes Eva, and Calvin. He won't budge on names, how do I get him to loosen up about it?! lol
Also, any name suggestions would be appreciated-- I like pretty names for girls, nothing too out there, and strong names for boys, nothing too crazy... thanks

Why don't you try mixing the name as an idea?
For a girl you said you like Arley and he likes Eva?
How about Arva? Or Ava?
And for the boy..actially mixing those names would clash. Why don't you try looking at a babynames site with him and you together? Then you can go over the names your around, here's some sites.
They have many creative names, your bound to find one you agree on.

Ask him if the names Eva and Calvin have a special meaning for him, somebody special for him ? if it's important for him maybe you might agree. The family name is important because it has to sound nice. Plus you can have even 2 names for a baby, like Eva Belle,(the first beautiful girl will be the meaning of the name ) or Thomas Calvin. I like for a boy these names Eric Alexander(eric-means ruler) , Andrew Michael, Robert Nicholas. For girls Anne- Marie(like my mother and grandmother) , Madeline (short Maddy, means tower of strenght) Amira(means princess) Erin. Good luck...

You should both decide on a name that is perfect for the baby. Unless your boyfriend is going to be in your life for the baby's entire 18 years, then I wouldn't go with the names he suggested. You should go outside and yell as loud as you can the names you have chosen. This works exceptionally well when you have a middle name picked as well. If it doesn't sound good to hear the name coming out of your mouth, pick another name. Do this until you are sure of what name you can stand hearing over and over again. Believe me, you will be using that name alot. Thank you and good luck.

You're the one pregnant! you should have a little more control over the first name! The name will be something that last forever. If he doesn't want to work with you, tell him to shove a 8 pound baby out of his junk down there, and then he can be as picky as he wants!

My boyfriend and I both made a list of names on a single piece of paper. we handed it back and forth each crossing off one name at a time, when we got it down to two names we put them in his hat and shook it until one name fell out. That became his first name and the name still in the hat became his middle name. Now i have my little Brayden Dylan.

i personally dont like those names. Naming your baby isnt something you fight about or comprimise on, this is your child so you need to choose a name together. Something that you both love. I always liked the name Abigail but we couldnt see ourselves naming our daughter that. Out of the blue he suggested Madison, a name I had never really thought of. It fit perfectly. We named our daughter Madison Abigail Kate.

Everyone and their mom is now naming their daughters, "Ava or Eva" "Emma and Aiden" I have a very common name and hate it. Tell your bf that you will never agree to his names just as he won't agree to yours. Tell him to pick a few more names, you do the same. Put them on the fridge and look at them everyday. You can cross off the ones you cant stand anymore. Hopefully there will be only one on each side left.

I would kindly remind him that you are the one carrying this child not him. When he gives birth to a child then he can name the baby without your input. Honestly tell him that you have to make this decision together, this can be a good memory or a bad one.
I like Jaxson( slight difference in spelling from your version)
I named my little girl Aiden, an Irish boy name.

well, it is not fair if you come up with 6 names for each sex and he only one, make him choose 5 names more for each sex, you might like one of them!!!
if not, you can agree that you choose the name for the baby if it is a girl (or boy) and he if it is a boy...(it depends on how much you dislike each other´s names)..or you choose the 1st time and he can choose with the 2nd baby...you should give each other reasons for disliking eachother´s names, for instance that it doesn´t go well with the surname etc...GOOD LUCK (I like Bell; Eva and Thomas by the way)
