Have been giggling through this, we have a different sort of problem as had picked boys name as expected to be having another boy - we already have 4 - only to be told its a girl so trying to find one we can both agree on is difficult!!!

Rosapenny you are very brave to let hubby choose coz my hubby just comes out with the same name everytime and i just dont like it and STILLL he doesnt listen!!!

Mrs Ikea i love your boys names, i have a Jamie Owen if that helps!!!

Good luck girls

Mrs Ikea I could never let him pick his own clothes that would be a disaster!!!!

Yes.... my only problem is that my baby is 6days old and still doesnt have a name!!!! everyname i suggest there is some excuse like my friends, brothers,uncles dog is called that..... then he suggests really ridiculous names which i hate....the latest was jackson after micheal jackson!!!!! aww well keep thinking lol hopefully he'll have a name soon!!!

yes my oh wanted to call Sam..wait for it.......boom! my whole pregnancy he referred to bump as boom and was deadly serious...as soon as sam was born he never mentioned boom again thank god xxxxx

Mrs I - we also have Ryley and Grace (similar to Gracie) on our short list.
Thankfully h2b as been quite god with names, except the fact want one really loves the other hates but we do have a few names on a short list, but won't decide on the name until baby is born even tho we are finding out the sex, as i do believe babies look like a name

Anyhow as h2b is fine thought i'd share what my grandad wanted when my mum was pregnant with my brother

"Lord Thornton Pereguin"

What the hell was he thinking, we go to public schools and are far from rich and he came up with that name, he still tells my mum about it now, he was so deadly serious haha

My ohs most recent suggestion is 'abrahim' apologies to anyone who likes it but NOooooooooooo, not for us! It's gonna be a long 9months lol

Emilie and Sam I had to read your post twice, I was wondering what on earth was wrong with Sam then I clicked! How could he possibly think boom was a good idea??

Just wanted to update, OH informed me yesterday that the 1 boys name we had agreed on, he has decided he doesn't like it anymore! So now we are back to nothing and absolutely no idea. Thank god we are having this conversation at 10 weeks instead of 40 or we would be completely screwed! We really need it to be a girl and then I need to work on him to convince him that Lola is an amazing name!

He is so stubborn he barks no at me before I have even finished the word, "How about Charli... NO! Why what's wrong with Char... NO!!"
Man he is annoying!!

Mrs Ikea you have the same first choice as me
Emelia Jane (the Jane bit being named after my mother)!!!
I have the additional problem of that my partner is Italian and I am English and we live in Italy. I want a name that can be pronounced the same in both countries. Partner speaks with an English accent as lived over there for 11 years, so everytime I think of a name I have to go round to see my nieces and ask them to say it in Italian!!!!!!
He also keeps suggesting stupid obscure Italian names like Cosimino and Pascalina!
Like that helps!!!!!

Anyway for a girl I am set on Emelia Jane and for a boy Luca Robert

If it makes you feel better SBJr was a week old before he was named

My ex kept suggesting Nelson when I was pregnant with SBJr. He wouldn't consider anything else and just kept saying "Nelson is a cool name" I won that one eventually

Imagine my horror when I was pregnant with TJ and Takers and his mates suggested Nelson!! It was a bit easier this time cos I just said "oh my ex wanted to call SBJr that" and it was never mentioned again

You are in a similar situation that I was in. My OH's family are Italian. My eldest is called Emilia, my youngest is called Thea but her second name is Valentina and they all call her Valentina. I really liked Valentina but didn't want it shortened to Val or Tina.

Finding names was a struggle as there were very few Italian girls names I liked

Congrats Mrs I on having a girl, great news :) x

everytime i ask my OH about boys names he always says simba or mufassa! its so annoying now and not funny he says he cant think of any boys names but hates all the ones i like! our baby may be nameless lol x

My oh wanted Jesus or Elvis for boys names.
By the end of my 1st pregnancy he lost interest
in the name Jesus-it only took 9 months. Luckily
we had a girl. He was certain if our next baby was
a boy it should be called Elvis, he told all our family
and friends. Being very nervous about just how sure
he was I encouraged him to buy a chameleon, which
he had always wanted. Upon getting the creature home
he was stuck for a name, so I casually sugguested
Elvis. He loved the idea. So that was that, pressure off,
we couldn't have a second Elvis in the house.
He didn't miss out though because we had another girl so
it was win win. But that's my sugguestion, let them get a pet
to get the silly names out of their system x

My sisters ex suggested Deco for my nephew! I think that might be a footballers name. Luckily they decided on Daniel so he got a normal name!

H2B didn't really suggest anything silly- never really suggested anything at all! Every day I said to him have you thought about names? And his reply was no I have been too busy. For god's sake, I'm giving you the chance to be involved so if you are too damn busy I'll decide by myself!! In the end he agreed with one of my choices, Haiden Elise. He decided to change Haiden to have an i rather than a y. At least he made some sort of contribution!!
