Okay its hard to talk names before you get into a relationship, what a way to scare off a potential partner, but its also hard to believe that you didnt twig that your wife was a little on the different to you side BEFORE you married her. None of her names I would consider naming my child but then again I didn’t like any of the names you picked. Considering the baby is already on the way, the only thing I can suggest is pick the least offensive name and use it as a middle name.

I have to say that I like Fern and Quincy but not much else. Fern can’t be shortened and I have known girls who have that name in the past. Quincy was a detective? in a tv series, maybe you could give those a chance. It could be a lot worse – Zoomer etc have to be a joke!!!!

Ha ha! Zoomer! Actually these would make good dog names. It’s one thing to have a different name, another to have the poor kid targeted because of a very weird name

Do hope you can resolve this problem. They say love cures all things, so looks like you may both have to work a bit on this. Good luck.

I only like a couple of these names. It’s like people are following celebrities and how they name their children. I hope you can both compromise and find names that you both like.

They’re not all ‘out there’. Perhaps in a calmer moment, you could have a conversation and not be so dismissive of her choices.

At least he is honest.

They are… unusual

A couple of those are okay… surely they could compromise

Keep communicating – nicely and gently. There are bound to be some that you can agree on.

Maybe it will be easier to name bubs once it has arrived and they can see it to see what name suits and they can comprise better then?

Yep I’m definitely not a fan of those names at all…

Hopefully by the time the child comes, there will be some compromise. Maybe by seeing the child will help.

Most of the names are stupid… but don’t be rude!

I don’t think those names are too bad?

I wouldn’t feel comfortable naming my child any of those names either so I’m team husband here. My gosh I hope they find a middle ground

Every now and then one escapes from the backyard and goes on a rampage doing damage to all it comes in contact with. Seems this can be applied to many situations and we have one here .Poor husband is a victim of love of his barking mad wife
lets hope the wife gets cured of her state of ?

Oh not fun times. They are going to have to each write a list and do an elimination of names. Unfortunately he is correct in saying some of those names the child may be bullied at school.

Unlikely you come to a compromise when you tell each other their choice of name is stupid ridiculous and terrible. Be respectful, show willingness and hear each other out. When a conversation turns into a heated argument, better calm down first and talk about it when you’re able to listen to each other and willing to compromise.

  I agree, they need to work on listening to each in other and communicating in a respectful way. I imagine a lot of work needs to be done in repairing the relationship.

    Yes, a relationship without respect is out of balance and unhealthy

could be the hormones talking or she might change her mind after seeing baby arrive
