It's your turn. He's got to share, and not be selfish. That's the root of any successful marriage. And, if he doesn't want to let you have your say, remember something that I learned, in 8 years of teaching jr. high school: the answer to all of life's conflicts is... rock paper scissors-best of five series!

I did sort of the same thing with my husband he "named" our first and I "named" my second. The only thing is we both liked the name that the other picked. Try to come up with a compromise, that is what marriage is all about.
I know that this is very unfair but I know that I filled out all the paper work for a birth certificate and social security number. If you do that then your husband really doesn't have a say.

You both should mutually agree. Try you picking the first name and using the name he wants as a middle name since he named the first one. After all you are the one who has to carry the baby and go thru the pain, at least you could chose this ones name. But you are right you should not fight about it. It is supposed to be a happy time. If all else fails and you 2 start to really disagree, I would have to give in. :-) Good luck to you and I hope you get to chose the name you want with his good graces. ;-)

I say to go with a compromise, you pick the first name and he picks the middle name. I would suggest standing your ground on this and make it clear up until you sign the birth certificate.
BTW, Adonis is quite a name to fill. Good golly, I hope he grows to be a tall, strapping man.

How important is it to you that you get to pick the name this time? You have to pick your battles in life. If you really wanted to name the baby this time, then tell your husband it's your turn... he did it last time. He can't be a name hog.
If you don't care so much that you pick the name, let it go. There will be other battles in the future where you will have to stick to your guns.

You should definitely have a chance to name one of your own children. If you plan on having more, tell him its your turn, he can have the next one. Or for the others, you have to come up with a first name, and he can come up with a middle name. Keep talking to him. Don't give up!!!!

The both of you are supposed to come up with a name for your child togethor.
Having said that he named the first child, so it's your turn for this one. (Unless of course you like the name Daniel, then what's the point of arguing?)

If he named your first son, then you should be able too name your second son. I love the name Daniel, this is my sons name. However, he needs to be fair to you.. Good Luck!!!

Come on guys. compromise, this is a joyous time. How about this, hubby picks the first name and you do the middle name?
Daniel ___ OR ____ Daniel
Have fun with it.

when I was pregnant we both have different names in mind, so we decide he will decide the first name of the boy and I the middle name, while if girl I can choose the first name and he the middle name. It worked for us.
