I am a hyper organised person whereas bf is much more laid back and last minute. We are keeping the gender a surprise but I have a c section booked for 3 weeks time and would like a shortlist of names for each gender. Bf thinks we can wait til baby is here to think about names but I dont think I will be in my right mind following birth and getting to grips with motherhood!

I have made lots of suggestions of names to him, none of which he likes. He has suggested about 3 names to me which I am not keen on and one I actively disliked.

What do you do in this situation? I feel stressed that we don't at least have an idea of some names we both like. What if we can't agree???

We need the names op! Then we can set to work on some middle ground. That's what we do here!😁

He got to choose from my shortlist of 5.
