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

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

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

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


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?

Ignatius could also use Nate as a nickname.



I like Ignatius or Iggy.

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.

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.

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

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.
