Name vent!!

My fiance is the most indecisive person ever!! I came up with possible names (we are having a girl) and he helped narrow it down by telling me NO of most of them but will not give a definate decision of which name he wants to use. I know the name is a big deal yada yada..but I am so ready to have it decided on already!! The longer it takes the more I start to second guess both names ...

So today I asked him to look over a list of top 100 names so that I could get a better idea on what type of names he likes (I asked him to do this before and he never did, was always too busy) and he is compaining that I am taking the fun out of naming our little girl!! GRRRR he has taken all of the fun out of it for me with this indecisiveness and now hes blaming me! It is keeping me from doing a lot of things like putting name up in nursery and possibly having a blanket made with her name in the center.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make this fun again? Or atleast to get him to decide so we can be done with it?

If your curious the names are : Addison Noelle or Adriana Noelle...I wanted Rylie Grace but he shot that one down haha. TIA

it should be a fun process. You have plenty of time, I'd say leave the subject alone for a while and enjoy some hubby time that is just about the two of you.

When it's time to talk about it again don't give him an option, narrow your choices to 3 names and tell him you like the names the best and he would consider any, he's a guy and not all of them are really into it as us woman.

My husband is a different story, he will not stop emailing me with names however I told him I want to wait until we find out the sex before even thinking about.

 

Good luck!!!

How to make it fun?  Stop nagging him. 

Seriously, he knows the baby needs a name, but if you hound him about it constantly, it'll be a chore. 

I made up a list of name possibilities (a first name came easy and a middle name we couldn't figure out) and left them on the computer desk.  After a while, he started crossing off the ones he didn't like.  I didn't have to hound him, he did it in his own time.

You've got lots of time to do things like put a name in the nursery and get a personalized blanket...

You don't need a name until it's time to put it on the birth certificate.  We are team green so we can't even think about specific personalization until after the birth, totally doable.  I imagine we will be tossing around names even after the birth!  And a list of 100, wowza!  That would take me months to think about.

I feel your pain.  DH has been so indecisive about names and most pregnancy things.  He actually came up with the name Alexis Genevieve based on our agreed upon criteria.  Now, he is getting upset because in my mind that is our name.  I told him, I don't want to wait until our LO arrives to choose a name.  I think after delivering, I am going to be too tired, irrational, and over emotional to make a good name choice. 

To get DH involved, stop pressuring him.  DH came up with the name randomly one night.  Ask him sometime during the next month to come up with a list of his top 5 names and you will do the same.  Then compare to come up with your top 2.  Let him know you will decide the final one right before or after LO arrives.
