how can I legaly name my daughter while the wife is squeezing her out and before she has any say in it?

Question

My wife and I are expecting in 7 weeks and cannot agree on a name.I was thinking of calling her "Ralph-etta" after my great uncle ralph. While she is squeezing the baby out how can I name the baby legally before she has any say in it?

I don't care what you all think.Ralphetta is the name I am giving her. I have already arranged payment with adinistrater who is going to help me do this and there is nothing any of you can do to make me not name her Ralphetta. I even picked a middle name.... Bertha.

Answer 1

Whatever. Thanks for the points.

Answer 2

I think you and your wife should come to an agreement some how. Compromising is what you'll have to do. What is your uncle's second name, maybe it can be converted in to a female name more easily than Ralph. Do not give your girl such a horrible name, she will resent you. Maybe you could wait for a baby boy, if that is an option, or just forget it all together. When you're at the hospital they always ask what the child's name will be so, she will have a say in the matter even if no decision has been made at that time. Give your daughter a pretty name or a strong, but feminine name. If you don't have a baby name book maybe you should buy one to see all the names available. If your wife already has a name in mind maybe you could use that name and you can contribute her middle name, but not Ralph-etta there is no way that will happen. Just sit down and really think about it, would you really curse your little girl with such a name. Remenber your child has to live with the name she is given for the rest of her life.

Answer 3

This is something that the both of you should agree on. Both of you conceived this little miracle & both of you should have a say in her name, talk it over first. Wait until you have a boy to give a child the name of Ralph, I don't think that is a good name for a girl., Ralphetta. If you do this and she don't have any say in it, she will be upset with you. You are creating a family & family makes decisions together, that is why I say pick out something that you both agree on. And your wife is not squeezing it out, don't be a idiot, I'd like to see you give birth, birth is a miracle, not a joke... Honor your wife & forget about Uncle Ralph.

Answer 4

how can you be that cold??? it's more her baby than yours, seeing that she's having it. why don't you agree on a first name, and go with ralph or something like that for a middle name? do you know how much your daughter will HATE you for naming her that?!? that is such a mean thing to do to a child. can you imagine having that name in high school?? do you really see your wife not doing anything about this, even if you do manage to pull it off? you are a very cruel person, to your wife and unborn daughter.

Answer 5

You can't. The mom is the one that fills out the birth certificate and then you sign it. That would be an awful thing to do to your wife, though even if you could. You shouldn't name a daughter after a man either. If you have a son then maybe you could name him after your unlce. Would you ever give your son a girl name to name him after a female relative? I think not. You should give your daughter the same courtesy. Just because you put an etta after a boys name does not make it a girls name.

Answer 6

You're going to go behind your wife's back while she's enduring the worst pain known to mankind and bringing your child into the world and then you're going to name her Ralphetta after your uncle Ralph?! At least it you're going to be sneaky, give the poor child a better name. I can see why your wife disagrees with you. I wouldn't let my husband name my child Ralphetta in a million years.

Answer 7

This is not the way to solve this disagreement. Your daughter has to live with this name and you both need to agree on it. Your wife is right not to want you to name your daughter that awful name. You can't do this and shouldn't even be thinking about it if you love your wife. Keep serching for a name you both want.

Answer 8

Ralphetta? How about NOT! First of all, you should be supporting your wife while she is 'squeezing' your baby out. Second of all, your wife DOES have say in what you will be calling you baby. Third of all, "Ralphetta" would be teased a million times a day, please talk to your wife and decide on a name TOGETHER!

Answer 9

Ok I understand you want to name your kid after your great uncle if it was a boy that would be fine. But DON'T name your child that unless you want her to be picked on 24-7 and I am sure once she turned 18 should would have it changed. And your wife is giving birth (you have no idea what that is like) and you would be so cold as to try and pull something like that. Grow up. Would you like it if she pulled something like that. Oh and also you can't because she has to sign the birth cirtificate and I doubt she would with that name.

Answer 10

You should pick a name you both like -- I liked a number of names my husband didnt and I said 'oh well, lets look at some more;

To compromise, why not have her middle name be Ralpheeta

Answer 11
