This baby may not ever have a name.

We just started talking about names and we're in no rush, we've got plenty of time to choose, but I'm starting to see that DH and I are on opposite ends. He like the "country" names like savannah, Georgia, Emmylou, etc... I like more modern or traditional names like Meredith and Presley. My daughter has dibs on naming the new one Molly or Nerd. ;-) Baby may just end up being Peanut until she can decide.

DH an I were the same way. He liked Barnabus an Archemedes; I like Dean and Saul. Completely differet kinds of names. I went to a baby name site, put in the names he liked and had it give me related names. I went over all the names that were similar, and it came up with Solomon. We both loved it.

I'm mobile and can't remember the website I used most or I would share it!

Was it nymbler? I think that site gives you similar names.

DH won't agree to anything I throw out there.  Currently I'm fighting for "Harper" and he is so not interested.  We've agreed on the middle name of Michelle, so I think Harper Michelle Husk works.  I also like Natalie and Natasha, but he's not digging those either.

See, I love Harper and Natalie and he nixed those immediately and threw out Emmylou??? This man.. I don't know what to do with him. Those websites sound neat tho. If you guys find then, please post!

Would he consider something like Emily Louise/Lucille instead of Emmylou? You might be able to come up with similar sounding but more mainstream names that appease him. He could always affectionately call Emily "Emmylou."

Join the club! I think we've exhausted every name website & I bought a book of 60,000+ names yesterday and STILL! We finally came up with Solomon last night but we'll see how long that lasts... my husband has a nasty habit of liking a name and not liking it a week later.

We're in the same boat. Though, can't say there is any particular girl name I love so much that it's worth fighting for. I did really like Briony but dh just isn't feeling it. Plus, I have to admit. It doesn't really roll off the tongue. Kind of like I'm just saying Brian With an ee at the end?

We're the same way.. I'm pretty sure DS won't be named until after he comes. My waiting to be emroided nursery bedding is collecting dust.

These men are so frustrating. He's been telling me "we'll see" for all my names and all of us mommas know we'll see means no. He told me I can't call her peanut anymore either because he's "not going to call his daughter something you can make butter out of". Oh Lordy, give me strength.

Check out www.namberry.com
If you type in a name you like it gives you the meaning and underneath it says if you like this name you may like ..... And then lists a bunch of other names too. I love that website.

For what it's worth DH and I have yet to name DD2 as well. It's not that we disagree, but neither of us feels we've found "the" name. Poor nameless baby girl!

DH and I also have very different taste in names so what we ended up doing is making a list each of our top 10 names. Then we went through it and decided that way with DS. With this baby we already had 2 potential first names so it was a lot easier to decide.

Naming a human is so hard! For both our babies now, we've kept a list on the refrigerator with three columns: names I like, names he likes, and names we both like. You'd be surprised what overlaps, after a couple or weeks. Good luck!

I just checked- yes, it was.  Good call!
