Found out that my baby is a girl and right from pissing on the stick I have decided it would be Matilda for a girl.

My other kids are Megan and Harvey and think that goes nicely with it.

At first DH wasnt too keen but thought it was alright - fine thought I, I can talk him round.

But now we know it is a girl he has decided it is horrible, even went as far as to say he hates it

SNOT FAIR

Shall I insist, claiming that as I have to push her out I should be able to name her or can anyone think of some nice names that are similar and suit my other two?

I saw the name Matilda-Lilly in the paper and thought that's really pretty and really works, even though i don't normally like the name Matilda. i think it's an Australian thing for me, as we had a famous kangaroo called Matilda, think it was an olympic mascot or something so i just think of a kangaroo LOL

errrm
i had already decided on a girls name before we had dd (4) . It was the same name that i had when i was pregnant the first time (had ds been a girl).Dh and i were both convinced we were having another boy....so we didn't discuss girls names too much...but he wasn't particularly keen on my choice.
... We still used the name i wanted. i'm a little shocked how inconsiderate i was now...i can't explain it.... just that if i had a girl, then that was her name.
We talked about it recently and he says he just can't imagine her as anything else (of course..now it just means her)..but that also he thinks it's beautiful.
phew!

Matilda is beautiful btw

i decided on a boys name and didn't give a flying fuck what anyone including my dh thought. btw they hated it - needless to say my boy is now called that name - its lovely. I was accused of giving him a "gay" name.

thb i don't know what men have to do with it anyway
