Falling out over baby's name... Help!

[Bunsyduff]

happy new year everyone!
Ours was slightly ruined by another night of exhaustively discussing our new baby's name. Our second son is now nearly five weeks old and we therefore have ten days left to register him. The problem is we can't agree! I have a list of about ten I would be super happy with ( agreed pre birth) but my husband has totally and unexpectedly fixated on jack. There is nothing wrong with jack at all as a name ( my great grandad was called that) but I just can't reconcile myself to calling my son that. My husband is a lovely, gentle chap and this insistence is v out of character, but this is genuinely driving a wedge between us. Should I just give him this one? Just feel supremely sad as thought we would decide together and it seems like a very safe option... ( nb I like Arthur, jem, nat , wilf to name a few...).
Please help! X

I too had this with the name sophie. I wanted to call dd lydia but dh insisted on sophie. I sat in hospital and he said im still set on sophie. She didnt look like a lydia at all so i relented. I did choose her middle name ella.

Im still not mad on sophie but concede that she does suit it. Weirdly to me she'd suit ella more and we often call her ella boo!

Im now due dc2. I await to see if it happens again.

what about Jake?

Not much help, but Jack is one of my favourite boy names but think you do need to go back to the drawing board as it's not fair if you are not 100%.

If anyone is still out there, we went for Arthur Finnian ... Both very happy and I am v relieved! Thanks all - tips were brilliant xxxx

Oh,that's lovely

Congratulations, glad you managed to find a name you both like.
