Which do you prefer, husband's or mine's names?

[Blackish]

So we both agree to only pick 2 names,
DH suggestions are : Carter and James.
While mines are Diane and Jane.
We are expecting a little girl. So his choices are a bit stupid to me.

Any thoughts

Yours 100%.

He might as well have chosen "I wanted a boy"

I have a god daughter who is 10 her name is Carter !

Does he mistakenly believe you’re having a boy?

Um…. What?

Is he holding out hope for a boy? Odd choices if not. Yours are a bit old fashioned and not in a charming way. Maybe have a look through some lists together online.

This. I don’t get it? What are we supposed to choose here? A girl isn’t going to be carter or James. Is your husband a bit thick?

Although imo your girls names are so awful I’d probably rather be called carter or James. Is this thread a joke?

Jane is a beautiful and under used name. Team Jane!

Errrr... no. Are your husband's choices for a girl?? Tell him to try again.

He is giving me lots of reasons "she will blend in everywhere " and stuff like that.

Okey I also love Carla and Emily ( we agree on). BUT he is so so so pushy on his names.

All your names are terrible.

Tell him to choose girl names. She’ll be picked on throughout school if you call her James!

I like Emily.

Jane is lovely. I don’t like Diane but I do like Diana.

Carter and James are not names for a girl.

All those names are bad, especially your husbands for a girl. I would go with Carla if you both agree on that, by far the best x

Honestly of the four names provided James is the only one I like, but for a boy not a girl.

Tell your husband if he changes his name by deed poll to Tiffany or Beatrice or something equally feminine and exclusively goes by his new name (including in work and down the pub) then you can call your daughter James 🙄

Emily is by far the best name you've come up with, it's lovely

DH suggestions are : Carter and James. - Carter is horrible for a boy or a girl, especially a girl. The film Get Carter (1971) springs to mind. James is nice for a boy although in America it’s more acceptable as a unisex name.

While mines are Diane and Jane. - Diane - Miss Diane from Crossroads - no that’s an awful name. Jane is a nothing name. Nothing wrong with it but not terribly exciting.

Don't much like any of them. But Carter and James for a girl. Is your DH a bit confused.

Your names are much better

I don't like any of the names.

He has chosen boy's names.

You've chosen the most dated out of fashion names imaginable.

Carla is nice!

OP, if you like Diane and Jane and have agreed with your DH that you will choose two of your four final names, then go for the girl’s names you like. Please don’t take any notice of what anyone else thinks - it’s a very personal decision, and your DD will become a Diane, if that’s her name. Likewise, if she ends up being an Emily. But it is for you and your DH to choose.

All dreadful names. You both need to up your game. There are SO many beautiful names out there.
