baby name vent
So dh at first says ok if its a girl I name it and if its a boy he names it, I said fine BUT we need to agree on the name in the end that the other chooses, or choose another he was fine with that sooo he pops up that he needs a baby book so he can name his baby girl if it is a girl I was like wooooww hold on, what happened to me naming the girl, also since hes stated that if its a boy hes naming it after him which also I HATE cause his name sucks LOL soo whats a girl to do ? my choices are
girl : Karisma Renae
boy: Delano or Davion - middle name ??? possibly his first name,
but keep in mind he supposed to name the boy this was just a thought to me sooo what do I do to tell this man I hate his first name and hell no hes not naming boy AND girl lol !!!
Re: baby name vent
my hubby named our son..named our dog..named our cat we had a few years ago..so when this baby was conceived i laid the law down right away. i name her thats that i get the final say and tough if you dont like it haha. i think you need to say the same, you made a deal there is no going back on that!
ok IMHO ew to Karisma.... Delano is nice though as long as your LN doesnt end in O like mine... I loved the name Santiago but our last name is Lorello
Santiago Lorello sounded nice but the double O bothered me
My DH was a butt too... Have you thought about making lists and seeing what names you do have in common?
are the names you listed the ones you like or he likes? why is Charisma spelled with a K?
anyway, i don't get the idea of one parent naming the kid. DH and I are doing it together. We've got a fat baby name book and are going through it, discussing what we like and what we don't. DH has much more vanilla taste than I do, but we're compromising and coming up with things we both like. I suggest you work together on this.
You should probably let your husband stick to names, jk!!
Karisma? I have second the "ew". I don't like Delano either. Reminds of Plano tackle boxes, lol. Weird, I know.
I feel your pain though; DH and I are having trouble figuring out what to name our baby, and I'm sooo sick of the question.
It works for some people, but there is no way I would have given DH naming rights to a boy. This is something we had decided from the beginning that we needed to do together. It actually wasn't that hard for us, we chose Trista Morgan.
Charisma, spelled properly, isn't my fave, but I do think of Charisma Carpenter (of Buffy/Angel fame) so that's not awful. But with a K, it is.
i completely feel the same way. the baby will be equal parts me and DH, so we get equal naming rights/vetos/etc, regardless if we wind up having a boy or a girl.
Um... Please don't name your baby something that's going to cause them humiliation on the playground and irritation as an adult. It's bad enough to constantly have to spell out your last name, why would you doom a baby to having to spell their whole name, every time? Not to mention that Karisma, at least to me, sounds like a stripper/call girl/pornstar type name.
My two cents, take it or leave it.
Karisma is NMS. And Delano is the name of a city 5 miles from us, so I don't know that I'd go for that either.
What's important, though, is that you two like it. And maybe you and DH could compromise and use his name for a middle name?
DITTO! Ever since we found out what we are having the big question of "What are you gonna name him" is just really ANNOYING...
We both are making lists and surprisingly he doesn't want a junior, but this is gonna be hard cuz' so far we haven't agreed on anything.
