Do you think names should be a compromise even if it's both not your favourite?

There is a name that I loved and my husband wasn't so keen which I was gutted about. I was talking to my friend about this, and she mentioned she knew someone who didn't take no for an answer and named their baby the name she liked anyway regardless of her husband not loving it like she did. I just think I would feel to guilty doing that. Do you think it should be 50/50 or even a compromise name I don't know how common this is who gets the final say.

I named my babies. My DH agreed with me.

We compromised both times. The names we chose weren't even in my top 20 but now I associate them with my children I love them! I wouldn't insist on a name my husband wasn't keen on.
