[quote=Anonymous]My DH. I like our DC's name (it was my suggestion, actually). But we landed on it only because my DH vetoed literally every other name in the history of creation. He would not even entertain a single other name, even though I really wasn't 100% sold on this name. Then two weeks before the baby came, he finally suggested a single name (I had been asking him for months to make a list of names he liked so we could talk through them, rather than me suggesting names only to have him shoot every single one down). Which I liked but felt unsure about. Plus by then I was honestly just frustrated and mad at him for kind of ruining what I thought would be a fun aspect of having a baby, picking a name, by being very non-collaborative and stubborn.

We gave our baby that first name, and it's a good name, and I'm happy with it. But I do sometimes wonder if one of the other names I suggested, and especially one of the names from my shortlist that he wouldn't even consider, would have been better. I also sometimes wonder if the name he suggested would have been better! I basically have name anxiety, and I fully blame my DH for being a huge PITA during the name-picking process for that. I didn't really feel like we chose a name so much as I just got tired, which is not the best possible circumstances under which to choose your child's name.

But no one would know any of this from our child's name. Which again, I like! Sigh. [/quote]
