Poll: Did you despise a name DH picked...

4thofJulyWedding

With your last pregnancy, did you despise a name DH picked, but now it is starting to grow on you?

DH said he's always wanted the name Seamus Michael for a boy. I was not a fan at all when I was pg before, but now it's starting to grow on me and I'm actually starting to like it. Now, how to tell DH I like it without making him think he won this battle???

Aw, let him "win." It will make him feel good.

DH loves Julius with the NN "JJ" and that's just never going to happen. I really don't like initials as NNs, sorry DH.

Haha, that is true, I could just let him win and keep him happy.

I agree, I'm not a big fan of initials as NNs either.

I actually really disliked Olivia for a long time, but it grew on me and now it's our DDs name! My DH has also suggested Seamus, and with me being about 3/4 Irish and DH being about 1/4 it could fly, but I'm just not sure. I'm nervous about reactoins from other kids (that he'd go to school with) mostly.

DH suggested Wesley because it's his grandpa's middle name, and I thought it was awful at first.  Then I liked it for a bit but now I hate it again.  Sorry DH.

This was my main concern too, but I guess it's becoming more popular now so maybe the kids will be more accepting? I hope, haha.

DH picked our little guy's name (Henry) - I really didn't like it at first, I thought it was dorky and I told him no way.

But then it started to grow on me, and now after deciding that it's his name, I just love it more and more every day. And it makes me happy to know we have a name for our boy that my DH loves.

DH really likes the name Jason for a boy. At first I hated it, and I still don't like it. But it's start to grow on me... just a teensy bit.

With my 1st pg I was only 6.5 wks along when it was discovered it was an ectopic pg so we really hadn't discussed anything baby related at that time.

I've thrown out a few baby names to dh but he hasn't said much about them. He hasn't suggested any names to me yet. I have a feeling this will be one area where we don't really agree.

One of my best friends just named her son the name she hated in the begining- Tamden

My DH already told his whole family that his first son's name is going to be "Timothy Romulo" after his father and grandfather. ?His father is very excited about it. ?I hated the name in the beginning, but I've resigned to it. ?It's more of a sentimental thing for him. ?My family will just have to come up with a good nickname for him. ? ?
