Compromise or half-hate?

ok...Dh and I have wildly different ideas on names that we love.

We have managed to come up with a name that we both like for impending DD (3 weeks) with a middle name that we both love (not a first name, IMO).

However, we both have a favourite name that we love that we agreed that we would give up on as we couldn't agree. Now DH has offered to have the name that I love as a first name, with the name that he loves as a middle name, excluding our original first and middle name agreement.

So what would you do? Would you put up with a middle name that you hated, for the first name you loved, or would you rather have the name that you liked? Even though you are being pathetic as your DH is the one making the "sacrifice"???

Should I shut up pondering and jump at the chance of my perfect baby name?

Well I wanted my mums middle name for my dd's first name so dh choose her middle name, which I am not keen on, but TBH no one ever uses their middle name anyway.

You are going to endure lalbour and birth.

You should be allowed to call your DD anything you damn well like, IMO !!

More seriously, would DH be offering if he really hated it ? Perhaps it's grown on him.
