Not even pregnant and names causing discussions

[Snowberry86]

Me and hubby just don't agree on anything!

He says no to all mine but doesn't have any suggestions of his own!

What do you guys think to-

Philippa Hope
Philippa Alice
Clara Hope
Arabella Hope
Eloise Hope
Louisa Hope

I like Louisa best.

But really, you need to find some names you're both okay with get your DH's agreement. It's pretty much irrelevant what most people on here like if your DH hates all the names in your OP.

He has said no to about 50 names I have suggested but won't suggest any of his own!

I hope that when I am actually pregnant and he sees the scan he will be more in the zone to think about them!

My husband was always useless at preconception baby name talks. He just messed about suggesting nonsense or dismissed anything I liked. However, once baby was actually on the way he did actually engage properly in choosing a name for DS. I am now pregnant again and he is already making suggestions off his own back.
I think for some people, talking about things in theory just isn't as interesting.

Yeh I think that's the case.

He just suggests daft names or says he wants a really plain simple name like Brian or Steve!

He has said no to about 50 names I have suggested but won't suggest any of his own!

I think we're married to the same man. I have a plan though - I'm just not bringing the subject up again. Only nine weeks to go, and if he hasn't suggested a single name when the baby comes, it'll have to come off my list.

I dont see a point discusding and agreeing or disagreeing on a name while not even preganant.

I used to have some names I liked which I casually mentioned sometimes but it felt like jumping a big hoop.

Im 35 w now and my husband is still quite reluctant to discuss names.
We have some list but he did not say anything binding.

OP I would not worry about it at all. Your name preference can change over time and also as you are nearing delivery.

Clara and Arabella are on our list if its a girl. Love them!! :)

We didn't even discuss boys names until after he was born! You're overthinking things and you will kill the experience if you argue about names before you're even pregnant

I know we should wait until we are pregnant, but after trying unsuccessfully for 13 months talking about things like names gives me hope.

It might give you hope, but do you think you are putting additional pressure on your DH and making him upset?

If I was already feeling inadequate, your reminder of what my body isn't already achieving would not help matters. There definitely would be tensions.
