DH and I have very different naming styles. We each came up with ten names we loved and I hate his, he hates mine.
We’ve exhausted every baby name book and website. Help us. My list: Benjamin Sebastian Michael Reece Connor Elijah William/Liam Arthur Brandon Peter His list: Zephyr Icarus Ignatius Atlas Orion Constantine Wolfgang Ulysses Odysseus Casimir Yeah. You can see the issue. I even offered to settle for a name I don’t like as much and told him he had free reign of middle name but he said nope. Any suggestions? |

Why don’t you ask the baby? We had a list, we asked baby: are you name 1 and he started screaming his ass off. We asked again, a couple hours later, are you name 1...more screaming. Then a few hours later we asked are you name 2? And he settled down and fell asleep so that’s his name.

| So your husband is an orthodox priest? With 1% German thrown in? |

I suggested Augustus/Augustan and DH thinks it’s too common. |

| Get a divorce. His names are pathetic. Such a phoney! |

You need to decide on a method to decide. Some possibilities:
-you decide bc you gave birth -pick a neutral third party to choose -each write down your top 5, you each get 3 vetoes, the remaining 4 go in a hat and you draw one |
