DH Hates the name that I feel is absoloutely the one, but he wont suggest any name at all, he's been through 2 baby name books and on the internet and he cany see ONE that he likes but says that the name I like is absoloutely a no no. Just feel a bit... sad, annoyed, disapointed... (probably all hormone driven!!) but I think it would be easier if he was atleast mentioning alternatives!!
We're having a DS, due in February and will be our second DC, we have a little girl already who we found a name relatively easily for, but DH says he finds girl names easier and doesnt like any boy's names.
We've got until February so no rush but I would like to 'live' with it a while before Baby's arrival if that makes sense.
Probably just hormones I know, I know!

I have a dd. If it was a boy my favourite name was George!

Just about given up on George no to be honest... Now have no idea really lol. I wanted to have tome to 'live' with the name before he got here like we did with DD but at this rate looks highly unlikely!!

Well obviously it should be a joint decision - but I recommend bribery

HF- we've already been told that my placenta is low s I may well need a C-section and we've also been told he's on track to be atleast 9 1/2 llb!! lol so if that information doesnt buy me a bit leverage then I think im out if luck! lol

pretend to be all excited and tell him you have found the name thnat you MUST have for Ds.
tel him if he doesn't like it its tough you will just divorce him.
when he asks what it is youcan tell him its Septimus.

he will hate (hopefully) and he will try and convice you that your original name was great
