Baby born, no name ? Having issues

[K1mberlylauren]

So I’ve now had my boy, my partner is making me feel so depressed, my little perfect man has been here for 48 hours and it just doesn’t feel right him not having a name and I feel my daughter is confused !!

It’s like he isn’t saying nothing to me, but my child isn’t a fashion show!
And we will decide, I think it is so ridiculous as we had a wide choice of names !!!!
Helpppp

@Needtheadvice hey I think he thinks I am trying to be in control and want to just name him what I want and he doesn’t get a say but I’ve told him it’s not that at all. Made progress today so will talk about names later

Does anyone have anymore suggestions for unusual names ?

I would look at some biblical names like Asa, Asher, Saul, Solomon, Amos etc.

Darius
Zachariah (you'll want to check the spelling of that one)
Idris
Tristan
Emrys
Edmund
Orlando
Dante
Samson
Edwin

I found many of those names by having a quick glance at boys names ranked 501st or more in England and Wales in 2018:

Both of you go through the list separately and make a list of ones you like and see if you have any in common?

Idris Alexander is nice!

@CaffiSaliMali
Thanks I will do x

Amari is a nice name. I know one and he's a lovely boy

Sounds to me like he doesn't get a say. He doesn't like your names you don't like his. You both have to compromise

I’m having a nervous break down over this I feel so sad

Of you can't decide a name there's no hope for you two being compatible parents for the next 18 years! It's all going to be a power struggle.

Do you like Ezra.

Why what's happening OP? Where are you both at names wise?

If you're really not able to agree, I would suggest you agree to take his names and your names off the table and find something new.

Compromise wise you may have to accept a name which isn't common, but not as unusual as you would like, and that it may not be Arabic.

Whereas he has to accept a name which is less common than he would like. He also has to remember that you chose Amayah for your daughter together, and that this is a factor in naming your son together.

He can like Christopher and Alexander all he wants, but they don't go with Amayah. He also needs to suggest more names that he likes - you have liked loads and he only likes two?

If you look at currently popular boys names - Oliver, Harry, Edward etc. none of them really go with Amayah.

Whereas a less common, but not necessarily weird or made up, and possibly even biblical will e.g.

Amayah and:
Asher
Asa
Amos
Abraham
Saul
Solomon
Idris
Enoch
Zac
Ezra
Ethan
Emrys
Seth
Reuben
Isaac
Gabriel
Raphael

You both need to keep looking.

Thanks for the positive messages and u guys that have been supportive the man won’t even sit down with me and discuss,
We should be able to sit down and discuss this, and believe me I have questioned our relationship over this, it’s an absolute joke I’ve become really depressed about this all one simple thing ! It’s really got me down

Hey how is this pronounced x

I don't know the full story - But why don't you both pick 3 names each that you like. Write them on little bits of paper and pick them out to discuss. See if they can be adapted slightly too.

Failing agreement - One of you picked first name and the other the middle.

You both are clearly passionate about what vibe of name you want and I'm sure you both love your son. So fighting won't do anything that's helpful x

Thanks @CaffiSaliMali

@Pudding01
Thanks, this would be a good idea but he is being difficult he won’t sit down and do this.i was really upset this evening and he’s just come in and said what shall we name him then ! Like effortless that’s how I feel

Well, I hope you both manage to sort it out between you and your children can have happy parents

What did you choose in the end?

@K1mberlylauren what did you name your baby?

Hope all is well.
