Husband sadly doesn't love my fav boy name

[Poseyrosy]

I recently heard of baby name Albert I fallen in love with it I like old traditional names, unfortunately husband really doesn't seem to love it like I do which makes me sad I was discussing with my DM earlier and she loves it too but she has said to me that I can't use it if my DH doesn't like it as much as me.

Has anyone had this and do you get over this feeling even with a compromise name instead. I wonder see the name Albert I'm going to feel sad.

I love Aubrey

Prefer Albie

Seconding this, absolutely loads of Berties at my kids’ school and nursery (one of them is mine and I didn’t want a totally original name or anything but I definitely didn’t anticipate there being 3 on each school year!)

I liked Albert nn Albie but my H disliked 'old fashioned' names. I love that all the older style names are coming back into fashion

How long until baby is due?
I just went quiet in this situation for a while and then brought it back up again another time and told him all the reasons it was wonderful and he changed his mind. Now he loves it!

Hold on to it. Say it again when you’ve just given birth.

I compromised on my favourite name and I regret it to this day. I always look at her and think she’d make a much better ‘favourite name’ and she’s nearly 4.

I had this with baby 1's name. We had agreed on a girl's name but struggled with a boy's name and DP despised my ultimate favourite name. After seeing me go through birth, he would've let me use it had she been a boy, but I wouldn't have. It wouldn't have felt right choosing a name he didn't like. We both love our daughter's name and I still remember how excited we both were when we discovered it. Just keep trying. A name you are both enthusiastic over will come up 😃

Love Albert, so many lovely nicknames too

I'm biased as it was my darling dad's name so I love it 🥰

My nan called him Bertie which is lovely too. Mostly he was known as 'Al'.
