DH & I can't agree on a name. I'm only 22 weeks along - but he won't even discuss it. I had a very unique name growing up, Tango (mother got it from a soap opera). He had a very common name. So we have different perspectives on names. Any comments or suggestions would be helpful bc we are at an impass.
Boys:
I always wanted to name a boy Dylan Thomas after the poet. My father died when I was young so the poem "do not go gently into that good night" really got to me. But nowadays its become so common! I also like Jamie, Ethan (tho thats too common as well) and Michael (again common). DH really doesn't seem to care. He says go with "whatever" which makes me think he just isn't grabbed by any of those names?!?
Girls:
DH has his heart set on Lacey. That was the town we were in when he had the "I am ready to be a father" ephipany. So he thinks it works. I want to make him happy, but I'm not totally sold on it. To make it even harder,

I would suggest you go to a baby website that has baby names (babycenter.com has a good one), sit down with dh, and go through the list letter by letter. Yes this may take some time! Write down names that you both think are at least okay. Then you will have a starting point and can start looking at which ones you like the most. When I was pg, dh did not suggest any names, he would just veto or accept. I picked "Lincoln" from the show Prison Break. I threw it out there one night and at first dh said it was "ok". After a few minutes he loved it! Good luck!!!
