36 weeks - NO boys names, DH likes NONE!

I am just coming up to 36 weeks and really stuggling with boys names.

The problem is not me but the DH, i like many names but so far DH has not liked ANY!

How did any of you cope with picking a name in such difficult circumstances?!

Top of my list is Ezra - which DH did like and is now saying he doesn't.

I also like;

Nathaniel
Solomon
Isaac
and Gabriel

HELP, any advice gratefully recieved!

I agree with the others - if your DH won't suggest even one name, or at least let you know which of your choices he likes the most (or dislikes the least), then you will have to make an executive decision.

My DH only liked one name, and I liked several. In a state of post-labour exhaustion I agreed to the name he liked - even though I didn't like it. What an idiot . We ended up changing it after it was registered. I wish I hadn't insisted that he look through the baby books as then he wouldn't have become fixated on this one name!

Like Isaac & Gabriel from your "list".

Doesn´t he have any suggestions at all?

I agree with what cyteen said - seriously, you'll just have to choose the name yourself if your DH doesn't even like one single name.

Cyteen - that is my thoughts on it but then i feel a bit guilty!

Tell him that you will make a unilateral decision on naming the baby if he can't be more helpful

Seriously, if he can't make a single suggestion at all then he hasn't got a leg to stand on, has he?
