[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let her have it.

My husband vetoed the name I loved and I got tired of debating. A year later, he apologized for being pushy and admitted he regrets the name he insisted upon. My name would have been a better fit. [/quote]

This. My husband was hung up on giving our child a name he had picked. Like simply liking and agreeing with a name I picked felt too passive to him. We wound up giving her a name he proposed that I really liked, but his rigidity made the process a source of pain, not joy for me. I like our daughter’s name and feel it suits her, but when I think about how we named her, it still makes me a little frustrated.

Some men develop a concerning attitude when they are about to become fathers, it’s like... proprietary. I think it has to do with how little they have to do, compared to women, during pregnancy and childbirth. Mine thankfully chilled out once the baby arrived and he could develop a relationship with her directly. But that tendency is not great.[/quote]
