Well I've had the scan yesterday n found out I'm expecting a boy! But sadly I need to rant about the other half.. and help with a middle name! Basically we had both decided on a first name for a boy or girl... took ages of him sayin no to all my ideas and me saying no to his... He is traditional.. I HATE traditional names I like different or American kinda names.. so basically we both hate each others suggestions. Anyway the boys name we both like is felix :-) it's cute it's quirky without being too odd and ticks all the boxes for me... I suggested it months ago and he never commented.. a couple weeks ago he looked in the baby book it fell open on felix and he saw it was Latin for happy/lucky and then suggested it. I just said yes cos I thought you must not have been listening when I said it and I frankly I don't care it's a name I like!! Plus I thought it would put a stop to the snidey comments about how it doesn't matter what he suggests cos it always seem to be whatever I want anyway etc etc.
So anyway now comes the hard part of finding a middle name, I like middle names my son has a middle name and I chose a name I liked not a family members name as no offence to them but I don't like any of the names and I wanted to pick something I liked. I was given my nans name as my middle name and was teased for it and I hate it so it's Prob why I didn't want to with him and I've always said to my other half I don't do family names as I usually don't like them and he said he agreed as his parents split up n re married n frankly it would cause arguments. So we were talking about middle names and again we are back to everything I say he hates n everything he says I hate. .. He's coming out with Peter or Steven etc and they don't sound right!!! And I keep saying to him you can't have a traditional name like Peter after felix cos it doesn't flow it's needs to be a little different but he won't have it... He was suggesting some just now and I said no cos once again their names he knows I hate and I suggested one and he bloody bit my head off!!! Said oh let's have everything you choose blah blah... but he thinks he chose the first name all by himself so I dunno how he's come to this realisation lol!! He then goes I'd like to name him John after my grandad... John doesn't go plus we had already decided no family names!!! It causes arguments.
I'm literally pulling my hair out!!!! Sorry for the long rant but needed to get it off my chest!!! Anyway any ideas for a middle name for felix?

bogey face - how is what lappy suggested some kind of manipulative bitch thing to do? It's a perfectly valid point.
It seems like both the OP and her partner are being very stubborn, but frankly, between the two of them who is the one actually doing all the work, putting up with all the shit things about being pregnant including child birth? I don't see how constantly suggesting things that the OP has already said she is specifically against, and then getting snappy about her not liking them (no shit) is a decent thing to do.
I personally think her DP sounds like he is being a bit of a controlling dick. Presumably the kid is getting his LAST name as well.
Or should the OP just shut up and be a good little mindless baby incubator 
and let the MAN get to choose the names of HIS son?
