my husband hates all the names I pick please help me find some he will like?

Question

We aren't yet expecting but we are trying for our second baby. I have been having crazy dreams about our children not having names and people calling them a and b. I know it is because my husband hates all the names I like. Here are some girl names I like Evelyn, Reagan, Kennedy, Shayna, and Lydia. Boys Leland, Landon, Dallan, Carson, Mason, and Carter. He wont give me any input so I need you guys to help please. Our daughters name is Madison and he liked that maybe that helps.

Answer 1

The names you have listed here are all nice names. I particularly like Lydia and Mason but it would depend on what your last name is. I like Carson and Carter for twin boys. I would skip the president names though unless you are really into politics or you hope to be. Also, consider names that reflect your heritage and that of your husband's. For example, Evelyn and Lydia are English. I think Shayna and Kennedy are Irish names. Leland reminds me of the character on West Wing. Names that follow popular television shows will end up being popular at the same time (although I don't think this is as true of Leland as some of the other names from other shows.) Angelina, for example, is a popular name because many babies that have a rough start get names such as this and actors such as Angelina Jolie help add to the popularity. (By the way, I like Jolie, Jordan, and Jorge.) If you decide to create a new name for your child try to follow the grammar rules. Children sometimes end up with names that would not be pronounced the way the parent has chosen to write them.

But I wouldn't worry too much about your husband not liking them just yet. The truth is he probably doesn't want to have a discussion about names because, for him, the baby is not a reality yet. This is kind of a men are from mars and women are from venus kind of thing.

Women love to imagine the baby's name and say it until it is perfectly natural in our heads. You mention that you are trying but are not pregnant yet. Some couples try for a long while before getting pregnant. Names we like this year, we won't like next year (or five years ago).

I remember wanting Todd and Tonya for names (before I had even met my husband). I was sure that was what I would name my first child or I would end up with a boy and a girl and these would be there names. Several years later when I had my first son, we named him Jeffrey (and had his middle name after his father Ronald) even though we toyed with the Old English spelling of Geoffrey we ruled it out because we thought people would mispronounce it. Our second son (thus blowing the whole one boy, one girl plan) we named Jason (with his middle name after my grandfather John). I was never a fan of the naming all the kids with the same starting letter but these names sounded right at the time (and the kids seem to fit these names although Jason became Jay).

When we sat down and talked what my husband and I really agreed on the most were two things, I did not want a "Junior" or a child with the same first name as my husband (not because I didn't like his name but because I believed that the child should have his own unique identity. The second thing we agreed on was to have the middle name of the child to be after someone. So, that is how the names were picked in our case. You and your husband have to decide what things are important to each of you.

When the time comes, you will find the perfect name for your child. Don't worry about it. (And the baby or babies can go by Baby (and your last name) for a couple days after they are born if you need to "try out" the choices (although it is not encouraged to do so.) So, don't worry about him not being "on board" with the names yet. There is plenty of time for that.

Good luck to you and the rest of your family and I hope everything works out for you.

Answer 2

How about these names
Girls: Alexis, Ava, Peyton, Sierra, Shawna, Tacie, Maylie

Boys: Logan, Ashton, Keegan, Harrison, Ryder, Tyler, Alexander

Answer 3

I don't blame him for hating the names you suggested. I feel the same way about the names you listed.

The poor kids have to grow up with the monicer the silly parents sometimes give the poor tykes.

Suggest something more regular rather than trying to be different.

Answer 4

Why don't you just give him really really bad names, so he'll be forced to come up with one himself!

Like Tormanda! Or Jormany! If you need help on thinking of really bad names, combine the first two objects you see! Like Sodaputer! Or Tablamp! (Table Lamp)

He'll realize that you're so bad at names, he'll be forced to think of one!

Answer 5

Here are some possible alternatives to the names that you chose. Maybe you'll both like one of these. :-)

Aveline
Teagan
Kendall or Kenadie
Shawna or Shauni
Leediah

Leyland
London
Dylan or Dillon
Karsen
Jayson
Cartell or Martell

Answer 6

I think its weid he doesn't like any because you seem to have a wide range of styles on your list. Maybe you can have him make a list and you can pick some off of it ? I know a Madison who has a sister named Jenna.

Answer 7

girls names: Amber Dawn, Syke Ashleigh, Alyssa Ashlee

boys names: (I would go more traditional because he likes Madison) Edward John, Edward James, David James, James Henry (if you want compromise and go with) Leland James.
