How many of you let your Husband choose the name?

in Baby Names
A part of me was happy to see my hubs be so involved in baby names (he downloaded a baby name thing on his computer that generates thousands upon thousands of names), since this is his and my first child and it is a boy... I decided to let him choose the first name.
He chose Connor. Out of like five he chose from the beginning.
Now we took some time looking for a middle name he chose Alexander... I chose Ares (was going to start a tradition where all my kids had Greek God middle names, silly I know lol)... my mother and aunt sided with him and loved the middle name Alexander.
So, being the extreme nice person I am.. I let my guy fully name our son, Connor Alexander Lattea.
I am just wondering about the nick names for Connor or his whole name... I do like C.A.L.

Re: How many of you let your Husband choose the name?
My husband and I decide on names together. We both have to agree on a name or we toss it out. He did pick DD2's name and I loved it so it worked.
Connor Alexander is a great name and I don't think Connor needs a nn. Cal would be cool, though. </
Our first child is named after him. I agreed to it, but, yeah, I'd say it was his choice. My condition was I named any other children but he'd have veto power.
I really like Connor and Cal is a cute nickname.
We made the decision together. If one of us didn't like a name then we took it off the list.
I definitely wouldn't do that, I think DD would have ended up with a really ridiculous name.
Connor is nice, though. While it doesn't *need* a nickname, I like Cal.

Are you going to regret later down the road that you didn't have more input in the name? I mean, it is your first child. I personally think that is a little ridiculous...
I definitely would not just let my husband pick the name. I might give him
He chose the name. At first I wasn't on board with it, but seeing how much he liked it, it grew on me and let him keep the name for our son. A bunch of factors, such as trying to get him involved as much as I can, him being our first son, etc... also m
Nope, I don't need validation. Like my subject line reads, how many people let their husband choose the name of their child?
I know a lot of women who write down a list of names they chose and hand it to their husband to choose from, but what I
Connor Alexander sounds really nice.
DH choose DS's first name (I didn't not like it, but wasn't in love) and middle name fit both families traditions.
We make the decision together in that we both suggest names and either add them to a list or veto and forget about them. I happen to suggest way more than him, lol. For DD, it was a name I suggested and he happened to really like it.
To me, I think that there should certainly be a discussion, but I do think that one parent tends to "get their way" in most cases. I would guess that very rarely do two people find one name that is both of their #1 favorite.

Our first son will be named after DH. He's a 3rd and he wants a 4th. I have known this since we were dating and, although it wouldn't be my first choice, I support him fulfilling this life-long dream of his and I can live with it.
