What do I do if my husband and I cannot come to a mutual agreement on baby names for the future?

My husband and I cannot agree. For example, for a girl he likes Isabelle and I like Ava. How can we agree? Who gets the deciding vote?

I hope you have all boys.





LOL!
Reply:You need to learn to compromise. If you can't agree on a baby's name, you both are going to have a long, hard road ahead of you when it comes to parental disagreements. You need to sit down and start negotiating right now. Listen with an open mind as to why his name choice is better than yours. If it's a family name, respect that, with the compromise that the other partner choose the name for the next child. Or compromise on which parent gets to name which gender child, or swap who chooses first and middle names.





If this is going to be your only child, you will have to find other ways of compromising. Maybe you can ask a relative, pick names out of a hat, or even consult a psychic.





These are basic life skills here... you need to learn to compromise now, before your children learn to use your disagreements against you.
Reply:Agree in the present instead of the future. If you're not having a baby today, it's not a problem. Stop making problems for yourself that don't exist.
Reply:The my husband and I did was if we had a boy he names him and if we have a girl I name her. We had a boy and he named him. It's only fair.
Reply:Well, I think that I would curb that disagreement until you are actually going to have a baby.






Reply:use one of them for the first name and one of them for the middle name. that way you both win.
Reply:You just use one as the first name and one as the middle name. Simple.
Reply:Can one be the middle and one the first?
