Baby Names

SUPER Picky Hubby

Help! My hubby is apparently really picky about names. I had no idea he'd be like this! The worst part is, he doesn't seem to want to come up with any names...he just likes to poo-poo my ideas! Haha. We're having a boy. I've gathered so far that he likes names that are mostly off the beaten path/unique. The only ones he hasn't said "meh" or "ugh" to are:

Asher
Ashton
Carter
Elliot

It's starting to drive me totally nuts. Any suggestions along those lines?

Re: SUPER Picky Hubby

  • My suggestion is to have him create a list on his own and then when he's done, you both sit down together and go over them.

  • What are some of the names that you like that he has not liked. That may help us with a list that blends both styles.
  • Love Elliott

    I agree give him the top 1000 list and have him highlight names then you go over his list with a different color and discuss matches

    other options 

    Since you like Asher and Ashton how about 
    Archer
    Arlo
    Alaric
    Alec

    With Carter
    Cameron
    Cedric
    Silas
    Cyrus

    With Elliott 
    Elijah
    Micah
    Evan
    Ian

    Asher, Carter are my fave from your list! Cooper, Caleb, Sawyer, Or Connor came to mind too.
  • Shooting down ideas with no meaningful input tends to get you kicked off the committee.

    I agree with PP about giving him a task like come up with 15 he DOES like and working on it from there. Right now you're just throwing darts at a steel wall.
