If you and DH/DP couldn't agree on a name who won in the end?

We already have a DD, and are expecting DC2 in September - we are in agreement on a girl's name if it is another DD, but if it's a boy we're stuck.

I like Dexter.
DH likes Stanley.

I am pretty sure I can work on him in the 13 weeks we have left until DC2 arrives. Anyone else had a battle with their partner over a name?

Neither-we had to keep going until we found common ground. One person 'winning' isn't fair.

I won my ds2 is Fraser liam, dh wanted Liam Fraser. When he came out the midwife asked if he had a name and I said were still thinking about it, then dh said his name was Fraser

I would re-think another name you both like.

Yes and he sort of got his way in the end. I liked Noah he hated it. He liked Tarquin!!!!!! i HATED it. We both liked Finn. But he liked Finley but call him Finn and i liked Fintan but call him Finn anyway he was born we couldnt decided, then he became ill and had to stay in hospital and then i no longer cared what he was called just wanted him to be better so i gave in and let him call him Finley, and now 5 months on it really suits him. :)

Both names are nice but i prefer Dexter. Hope you get your way in the end. Good luck
