Baby Name Conundrum - WIBU?

[tempnamechange19]

I have name changed for this one as it is a tad outing.

My husband has come up with what he believes to be a beautiful and very fitting name for our new baby... I disagree.

The name is Byromi and is a mixture of our names.

I think that although it would be an unusual name, it is very lazy just to smash them together and it is also a bit odd sounding. He thinks I am being unreasonable not to even consider it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on either the name or the mixing of parents names to make a new name?

Thanks!

I fully understand your reluctance, it sounds like how people come up with a name for their bungalow. Is it an unusual name he wants or a name to honour you both?

Reminds me of Bryony, which I don't like sorry.

What about Balonz?

I used to know a Keomi (Keith and Naomi)

Wouldn't it sound like biro? Don't do it.

Sorry but that’s horrible on so many levels.

It’s awful

Your baby is a person in their own right - you don’t have to give them an ugly mashed up name in order to remind them who their parents are!

I lived in a small country where this was very common. However, it's a bit of a mouthful. Could you say that it's a lovely idea and could it be her middle name?

Twlight was a crap book and a shite film - not real life. That's not even a dog's name - it's a bungalow name for pensioners on the south coast. Don't do it.

No I'm sorry. It sounds like something you'd order at an Indian restaurant.

Makes me think of Twilight - Renesmee! And it's an odd sounding name so yanbu.

What if you have another child? One will have your names and the other won't. Personally I think with names that if either parent dislikes it, it is immediately out.

I’ve got friends who’s names actually make a perfectly reasonable name and they’ve done this. Although they are lovely I think it’s a bit twee and unoriginal, it also means their second child has a totally different name unrelated to either of theirs which just seems a bit odd.

What are your names?
Maybe we can help with a better mash?

Could you compromise with it as a middle name?

Byron and Naomi?

Sounds like he's trying to hard to be original.

I agree with Veterinari. Your child is a human being in their own right. It’s so, so egotistical.

I think it's shit to make up a name, it's not you that's going to spend the rest of their lives correcting people and spelling, very unfair imo.

And parents of people with unusual names/unusual spellings always moan a few years later that people get it wrong and they are sick of it

It's hideous and weirdly egotistical.

Tell him you have considered it very carefully and after a great deal of thought and reflection your answer is Christ no.

I have no idea why people think uniqueness is such a good quality in a name.

Jesus...Just no

Yes we are Byron and Naomi.

Thank you all for you responses. I wasn't sure if I was being really precious and safe. I like more traditional names and he likes really unusual names so we are struggling a bit to find a common ground on this one.

Wow. What a beautiful name. I for one think you should agree with your husband. He is obviously a very thoughtful hero.

Everyone here doesn’t know what they are talking about.

Amazing.

I think you should get your husband a beer.

It's hideous. Veto it and don't give it another thought.
