How do you agree to disagree on names with DH/DP

We're expecting our first baby in May and have a girls name planned but DH and I cannot agree to disagree on a boys name. Anything I love, he doesn't and vice versa.

We have a few names we can both agree on but they're not our favourites if you know what I mean and we'd be settling as we couldn't get the names we both want.

Can anyone recommend how we get around this if we were to have a boy? We feel we've gone over all the baby names time and time again.

Sorry I know this is a bit of a stubborn/can't win situation but was just curious if others have experienced this and how you resolved it? 💙

The way we did it is I choose a shortlist of 5-10 names I all love and partner chooses his favourite from that list.

Not sure what you'd do if he didn't like any on your list though.... I'd don't give mine that option, he had to choose from the list.
