So me and DH are expecting and recently found out what we were having. My SC are really excited and have been involved in talking about baby and asking loads of questions and stuff, it's been really nice.
We both recently chose a name we like (it is not some wild out there thing, it's a fairly standard normal name but we both really like it).
Anyway, we told my DSC the other day and DH came to bed last night and said they'd told him they don't really like the name we chose and now he thinks we should look for something else that we all agree on and ask the kids for suggestions instead.
AIBU to say no, I don't want to do that? I have a good relationship with my SC but I don't want to allow children to choose the name of our baby. I know what DH is like, he's a pleaser when it comes to the kids and he'll try to guilt me into accepting what the children like rather than what I like. I love what me and DH chose together and that's what my baby is to me now in my head. We looked for ages, me and DH, and we couldn't find another name we liked as much so I already know anything else we choose all together will not be what me and DH actually want. This was the only name we both went 'yes I really like that'. DH has said he still loves the name we chose, just thinks we should include the DSC in the process of choosing and look for something else if they don't like it.
I just think they will get used to it. It is a normal name, nothing whacky or weird, so they'll get used to it when the baby is here and in the scheme of things does it really matter if they aren't that fond of the name right now?
