Hi all,

He's being a total arsepart.

He does, but he then gets the middle name he wants too. Sad

I know I have long, but it's upsetting. I'm trying really hard and his name is really important to me!

he will be sticking to having one of his names

I would be telling him where to stick his bullying and to stop being a twat.

Wigeon · 28/03/2016 21:56

I'm also with the PPs who suggest a more traditional name which has a funky abbreviation, like Lex for Alexander, so both of you are happy.

Wigeon · 28/03/2016 21:54

Does he realise Jack is super dopa popular, unlike his entire list?

I am pretty sure that there is a law that you can't call a baby born August if it was born in March.

Voteforpedr0 · 28/03/2016 21:53

Matthew or Alexander both could be shortened to Matt or Alex/sacha/xander very cool yet would not sound odd in, say, a few decades time. The names on your dh list would not be fair on that perfectly beautiful baby boy

QueenOfThorns · 28/03/2016 21:52

Either of you can register him alone if you're married. You might want to stop him leaving the house until you've reached an agreement...

No, I wouldn't, but he isn't being fair. He's actually really unreasonable about it. He thinks I'm actually better off being the one who carried him, so he should be allowed and not me.

Poor poor OP! How about Cassius? I have a recent-ish baby Cassius in my family (not my own DC). Actual name unlike Oak or Nixon or Saxon but still unusual.

HerbieRidesAgain · 28/03/2016 21:50

You only need him there to register f you aren't married and want him on the birth certificate. If you are married you can register him alone - but in honesty would you want to do that?

dementedma · 28/03/2016 21:50

Oops, that should say okaaaaaay

evenoldergregg · 28/03/2016 21:49

What a beautiful baby. Congratulations.
Lucian,

Rubio is a Spanish name, but we have no Spanish connections Confused his only agreement regarding is Jack as first and he picks middle, if not "he will be sticking to having one of his names" Angry

It isn't fair, he has never been like this! Can I actually register on my own? If he keeps pissing me around, I just might!

Petroc
Sid
Archie
Vincent (Vinny)
Bob
Harrison
Sylvester
Gabriel
Fergus

HerbieRidesAgain · 28/03/2016 21:46

This may have been a suggestion already but would it work if DH compromises to have one off your list for the first name and he can have any name he likes as middle name?
I quite like Mason, its not too far out there

SoupDragon · 28/03/2016 21:45

Rubio?? What sort of name is that??

DingleberryFinn · 28/03/2016 21:44

Brandon?

Hang in there green. At one point, DP suggested Giacamo, as in Casanova, for the son that would be Ewan.

QueenOfThorns · 28/03/2016 21:40

Mason is another occupation Grin

sky1010 · 28/03/2016 21:39

I think he looks like an Axl.
