My husband hates every name!!

[ImNotAMermaid]

Dh is driving me loopy with his lack of flexibility on names. We are expecting a boy in two weeks and we still don’t even have any names we both like. Names we have are as follows:
Ollie (ambivalent but we don’t like it)
Jordan (I hate but dh likes)
Every name I suggest dh hates, the only name he’s come up with is Jordan. Dh likes gender neutral names which I don’t mind but I want something masculine sounding.

Teresa but for a boy. It is a unisex name. A lot of unisex names can be used for both senses.

Cassius,Cash or Cass are good shortenings.
Cassidy.
Monroe.
Winston.
Everett.
Meon.
Merlin.
Remi? Cool.
Caspian.
Jasper.
Sebastian.
Leith.
Pierce.
Keiran
Good luck!

Iday Abdullah III as an exsmpls of dad or grandad name but II III to honour lineage

What a fantastic name I’ll call my son it and change my name to match of course.

Jacob ! That's great. Who cares if it's close to a relatives name as long as it isn't a sibling that should be fine.

Obelisk?
He is trying to wind you up. Give him a deathstare amd tell him you don't find him funny.

The two of you need to come up with a list of 12 names each.

You both get to strike 8 names from each other's list.

You will be left with 8 names to choose from (first plus middle).

Suggestions:
Austin
Finn
Justin
Finley
Fraser
Fergus
Euan
Rafferty

Maybe a name from your families or ancestors?

But I also think mathanxiety's suggestions is good. Try that.

Good luck!

Oscar or Toby

Ellis?

Caleb

Chanteclear

Globulo

Christickens

Balofoy

Grondisk

Honestly just don't think it. You both clearly want 'out there' names... just invent one and hope that your child will be happy with it..

Jasper.
Julian.
Jude.

Joaquin.
Jared.
Jamison.
Heathrow.
Julius.

Sorry for any repeats but how about...

Caleb
Zachary
Levi
Barney
Malachi
Micah
Otto
Oscar
Guy

I think this is the issue, dh wants something different while I’d be happy to call ds Sam if I’m being quite honest!

New rule - no free vetoes. If he hates a name and wants to veto one as an option, he needs to present another in it's place. :)

If he doesn't, that name stays as an option. Pretty simple, if he doesn't help name the baby, he doesn't get to name the baby. lol

For example you are not a fan of Jordan, you can veto it and another forward. One of the many names you probably have mentioned. With two weeks left I would recommend using an actual physical board. With note cards or a chalkboard, sometimes looking at them helps decide a feeling, and it will help keep track of ones you BOTH like.

Jordan is one of the most gender neutral names I've heard!
Tell him this crazy American lady on mumsnet says you're to name him Oliver Neil.

Charlie

Kit

I need to stop watching Heartstopper!!

DH seems to, OP is more worried of they'd let a "Jordan" into the right kind of school

I like Obie short for Oberon

pick something normal that isn't too used, Dominic, Victor, Patrick, Saul

Jordan seems really dated to me, although I quite like Jody for a boy. I like those unisex names on boys. Sasha, Jody, Kim, but only for a boy.

I know a Jakob who goes by Kobi, do you think he may like that?
