Help! Baby is three days old and we can’t agree on a name

[Anonymous]

Maybe narrow his list down and let him pick the name, but you pick what he’ll be called? Orion=Ryan, Constantine = Connor, etc? I can usually see each side in a name debate, but his are truly awful.

But I’d go with Constantine and call him Dino. His list is terrible.

Ignatius could also use Nate as a nickname.

Does your husband have a normal name, or something that would fit onto his list?

Asher. No question about it.

Use one if your classic names as a first and one of DH’s loony names as a middle. You carried and birthed the baby, you get to pull rank.

Maximilian, he could be max or maxim, like in Rebecca
Silas
Hadrian

Tell your husband he can pick the middle name if the baby gets your last name. If he wants the baby to have his last name he needs to shut up with these stupid cartoon character first names.

I like Ignatius or Iggy.

I was going to suggest this. Dino is the traditional nickname for Constantine. That might be the only one on his list I could tolerate, and that’s probably because I knew a great guy with that name in college.

What is his thought process, op? Where did he come up with those names?

Teacher here: I love Atlas! This name has not yet been ruined for me.

I think your husband has a very unrealistic view of parenting and possibly an inflated sense of self. These names are all about calling attention to himself and his superior cleverness, rather than giving a human a name he will keep for the next 100 years. It’s about as bad as Michael Jackson’s naming choices (Prince Michael I and Prince Michael II known as Blanket).

One of you picks the first name, the other the middle. Draw straws to see who gets first.

Agree to Orion. Immediately start calling him "Rion" (Ryan).
