DH grinding on me about baby names

Hi all..
I have 3 months til I’m due and currently spending my spare time hunting down names 🤣 my first was easy and I had the name as soon as I found out he was a boy.
This baby is a girl and DH is being SO impatient. We mentioned a name and he’s decided he’s set on that name but I’m not 100%. While uploading a photo of my scan to his Facebook he went to write “our baby girl (name)” and I had to stop him as I wasn’t sure on the name yet and we would look like idiots if it then changed. Also the fact that even if we’re dead set on a name I feel like we should see our baby first before giving her that name, to make sure it fitted her.
I said last night that I like the name but I was still thinking about others and he said “yes or no to the name, tell me now” and I repeated that I was thinking still and I did like the name I just want to look around at others. Then he said “so you like the name then that’s her name, end of”.
I don’t know why he’s being so impatient about this but it’s really starting to irritate me 😅 he’s not like this with anything else so I’m not sure what the big rush is when we have so long to choose a name. Is/was anyone else’s other half like this with names and how did you combat it? I feel like there’s going to be an argument very soon if he keeps trying to pressure me, it’s not like choosing a bloody rug for the living room floor!

We were in the same position. I am 28 weeks pregnant and we had 2 names we liked before we knew the sex of the baby. Now we know my partner started calling him by the name we liked but I kept saying we still need to be open to other names. I dont think I will get DP to change on it because it was his grandads name but I got to the point where his sister started calling my bump by that name and telling everyone the name and that really bugged me as I felt she was naming my child to the world. I told DP he needed to have a word with her and it did stop. I think same as you, open to different names and his face might not suit the name we like, but I do like it so he will probably end up being what we have picked lol
