Well, that depends on the names you were throwing out at her lol! I mean-your screen name is Green Donkey lol!
I don't think it's at all unreasonable to expect to be a part of the process of naming your child. She is being a bit pushy, it sounds like. Either that or you are just totally whipped.
Best of luck to you both and to the new baby!

No, but I would hate it if my child was named a name I didn't like, simply because my husband says so. It's about a compromise. But can I just say - she's carried the baby, survived the birth and will probably be the one to look after this little child. Besides the stitches, cracked nipples and other things you just don't want to know about. So do give her some credit.
I take it you use the word "gay" as in the more modern definition of "sad"?

You should talk to your wife about how you feel, this is your child too so a compromise has to be made.
It certainly isn't 'Gay' for wanting to contribute in choosing a name.
Hope you can both decide on a name you both like, you might have to buy a baby names book and both highlight the names you like, that way you are sure to find a match.
Best of luck to you both
and remember, it is suppose to be fun so no arguing ha ha
Take care

Absolutely not! Your wife should be glad that you want to be a part of everything with this child. Make a list. There has to be a name you can both agree on. We had a hard time naming our kids but eventually found names we could agree on and so will you.

This is ludacrous. Your wife should understand that you want to share in naming your second child, especially since you had no input in naming the 1st. You should discuss with your wife your your feeling on this situation & come up with a compromise. Maybe you can pick a few names & out of YOUR names, she chooses one or vise versa. This is how I did it with my husband.
Or, maybe you should explain that since she named the 1st baby's name, you should be able to name the 2nd baby's name. My mother was strong willed in naming her first born, my brother. My father therefore, named me. It was a good compromise.
Hope it all works out for you!

Why would it be gay to want to name your child. Gay has to do with sexual orientation not name calling or what ever the proper term is. Look at it this way. You will raise this child and to do so you will have to make many sacrifices. You will have to divert money you could use on yourself for the family. You will have to work veryday to maintain your family. In short you will have to work very hard to raise this child. Given this, I think wanting to name the child is a minute decision out of the 1,000 others that you will have to make on this child life. SO, no, is neither gay nor unreasonable to want to name your child.
Also, many dads name their children. Have you heard of the term junior? Thats because the dad wanted to name their son after them. Why would the mother want to name their son after the dad. It just creates confusion.

It's not gay at all. My husband and I were at odds with our first baby, so he came up with a 3 name list, and so did I. We compromised that we would take a name from the six we had. I think you should have a say.

"Gay" no. My husband had a say in naming our son I wouldnt have wanted it any other way. We each picked out names and then crossed off the ones from the list we could not STAND, left the ones we liked and put stars next to the ones we really liked. {I crossed off Thor quick as hell} Then went back and slowly discussed the names left on the list and crossed off the ones we still didnt like and when we had one name left thats what we named our son.

You should have a say in it's name. Just tell her you want to help pick. Decide if you can name the first name or middle. One or the other. Good luck

Definitely not gay. A lot of fathers name their children. Why do think there are so many "Junior"s? I think you should have a fair chance at naming your child. Yes, you are being a bit railroaded.
By the way, my father named me and I have always liked my name.
