I gave DH a pre approved short list and let him pick from that.

No one, you find a name you both like

DH had final say on DD, we couldn't decide and I'm crap at making decisions. I'm really glad he did, the name he chose really suits her and the ones I liked wouldnt have I don't think. Also in hindsight her actual name works better with our surname.

IMO, the one who did all the hard work. Fortunately, we agreed on DDs name but I would have insisted had DH not liked it enough.
He had no input in her middle name(s), I went to register her on my own and the woman at the typewriter surprised me.

We agreed DH could do boys and I'd do girls with me having ultimate veto

I don't think any one person should have the final say, you should just keep going until you find one you both like.

With DS, We just kind of stopped at a name. I don't remember there being a decision at all. With DD, DH chose the name. I didnt feel that comfortable with it until she was about 1

Surely you pick a name you both like?

PotteringAlong · 23/07/2012 05:50

No one. You change your names to one you both like.

Wait a few days and don't be hurried.
