Can't agree on name
| Mon, 08-20-2007 - 4:05pm |
My partner and I love the first name we have picked for our due in 3 weeks daughter. But he didn't like the middle I picked. months have gone by and now he says he likes the name but i don't want him to say he likes the name unless he honestly does. It's his child too so I want his input, so does he really like the name or just trying to satisfy me?

While the name is not my style, I'd go for it since you both say you like it. Your partner may not have liked it at first, but often a name will grow on someone over time, especially if they've been calling the baby by that name. Good luck!

I would take him at his word and assume the name has grown on him - my DH does this all the time. He'll HATE a name, and then after a while, decide it's okay, and end up liking it in the end! Of course, he'll unfortunately go the other way, too - starting by loving a name and ending up refusing to even consider it.
Either way, if your SO says go for it, I would go for it!
Since he says he likes it, and it's only the MIDDLE name, I would worry too much. How many times is he actually going to hear it?
