So, I'm not pregnant but I find myself cringing at the thought of getting pregnant on the slight possibility that I will have a boy. My husband wants to name our boy......Kalel (sp?) His name is Gerrell (super man's dad's name) so he thinks his son should be named after superman. My whole family agrees that I should let him choose the name since it would most likely be his only boy but I hate it. WWYD?
Re: WWYD???
You could use that for his first name, but call him by his mn. Or just be honest with your husband and tell him you don't like it, hopefully he'll understand. It's not all about him and what he wants. You have a say to. explain to him that it's not your favorite and you would like to name your son something you both like.
Sounds like grounds for divorce
It's none of your family's business and they should take a hike as well
Kal-el is a ridiculous name. Even a celebrity's kid can't pull that off. Maybe suggest Calvin or Callum... his nn could be Cal. That's the best compromise I can come up with.
Also, tell your family to shove it. Both parents get to decide on a name, not just one.
don't name your kid something you don't like.
An idea for a compromise could be that his NN is Kal-El. If you named him Kalvin Elliot, or Kalvin Elijah, etc, you could both have a say in his name.
My friends son is named Kal-el. Well, his MN is Kal-el and his first name is Thomas.
I like it.
Good to know I'm not just being mean. Even though I want a little boy someday I'll pray for another girl for now.

That's stupid. You should both have to agree on a name.
And Kalel is freaking horrible. DH is a big Superman fan too but over my dead body will we ever name a kid after him.
Of COURSE he should get to the name the kid.... It could be HIS ONLY SON!
He should also do every feeding, every diaper change, every bath, every doctor's visit, teach him how to walk and talk, doall discipline, take Kal-El to and from school every day, work full time to support the family....
... after all...this could be the only son your husband ever has.
Yep. What she said.

This, and I LOVE your siggy
That's ridiculous! He should never expect you to use a name you hate and it's none of anyone else's business! You're the one that will be carrying the baby for 9 months! If anyone has the right to give a guilt trip for a name, it's you!!!
I don't like Kalel at all and would tell DH not happening. You shouldn't hate your sons name. Why not Clark?
