lol poor angie.. ^_^
I think it's kinda normal for men to be kaka heads about names anyway.. kiddos dad and I never agreed on a name.. his only suggestions were to call him a Jr (thank god I didn't agree to that haha) and Luke.... so he could say "luke I am your father"...... I also passed on that one  boys r weird.

I'm kinda traditional w/ names too. I don't like anything too trendy, too baby, too adult, too many L's (alliteration - our last name is Littleton), etc. Our kids names are Wesley (Wes), Claire, and Sadie. Sadie and Claire are getting a little more popular/trendy, but they are still classic names. And I think we used them b4 they started getting trendy again.
So, what are you suggestions and what are his?

I was just running down a list of names and waiting for him to say yay or nay on each....I say "mia" and he's all - what kind of name is that? No one uses the name Mia, that sounds made up". Dude! IT's #14 in popularity last year.......Oy!
I don't even want Mia (though I find it a pretty name), I just find it ridiculous how few names he likes. Our boys are Alexander, Henry, Jack, and Samuel. Right now we are leaning towards Hazel & Grace. I also like Madeline & Isabelle but he doesn't so much....

I do like Grace...I've got a Madelyn Grace and an Emma Rose. Drives me crazy that Emma got as popular as it did.
Another name I really like is Sofia...but that's waaaay popular around here.

 I LOVE the names Madeline & Isabelle, Emmy! We are planning on adopting a little girl and naming her Ariana, but she will be Filipina {if things go as planned} and will totally be able to pull it off. If I had a little white baby girl, she would have been Katherine Mary {Katie}, after Joels grandmother & mother. ANd I think it is just WRONG that we spend our childhoods picking out our children's names, and then these men, who have never in their entire lives thought about what they might name their children, think they should have a right in naming the kids.

Why does he think he has a say in it?
I really wanted Ava to be named Emily, but it is so popular. Of course now I see that Ava is super popular. *sigh* Growing up with like 3 other Jennifers in my classes in school has made me try an stay away from popular. My husband actually came up will with Lilith's name, but we rarely call her by her full name, she gets called Lilly, Lils, Li-la, and Lil-ster. girl names I love: Emily, Addison, Ruby, and Charlotte.

Emmy -
Love Grace, with Hazel... my first thought - as we were leaving the park the other day overheard some poor girl with being called " Hazy Hazel " in that sing-song way - not that we can or should protect them from all hurts, but something to keep in mind? DH and I are also traditional... in spelling even. Some from our girl's list: Cora Mae Rebecca Lynn all the best with the names!

Jane is a good one!
DH and I only agree on a few girl names, so if we ever have a girl her name will probably be Jane Isabella

We had Felicity Jane picked out for our baby. Which we didnt tell anyone because we thought alot of people wouldnt like it and we didnt want to hear the "you want to call her that??!!". But i personally think its lovely and feminine and not too popular, but not unpronounceable or weird....We ended up with a boy tho and called him Thomas Michael.
im sure it will be back on our list if we ever have a girl tho as its the only girls name we agree on!

We agreed on my oldest daughter quickly Carrie Anne. I love that name even if her name is Carrie Anne Moss like the actress from the Matrix. We had fits with Molly's name. My DH really wanted her to be named Molly Catherine or put Catherine in there somewhere, which is my middle name and I am not having a daughter named Kate Moss! I like Elizabeth because it is my name. My mom's name is Jeannette which I like because it is unusual. Other girl names:
Violet Meredith Alice

Another issue I had was the differences in origins - It took me 3 days to let him name our first Natalie. Our second was named b4 she was born if she turned out to be a girl. Her Grandma was Yuseline which translated to Jocelyn - we found Jaslyn in an book of names in the library and since we both loved it we stopped looking. My mum was Audrey - I wasnt inclined to use it for my dd's tho. Same went with the middle name I shared with her - Winifred was never going to be in my preferred list. Not all heritage names are an honor to pass on!! Fanny and Anus were 2 others that never made it to the current generation!! No guesses as to why there!! GL with your decision!

I see Naomi (mn Alexis) getting popular and I don't like it. After Naomi was born, there were 3 Naomis on TV within a few years...that always makes things skyrocket.
Parker (mn Samuel) is popular around HERE...for the same reason I chose it. It's a popular last name in this part of the country, so people use it for that reason...and then others hear it and like it, etc. Neither are extremely popular though. GL finding names you can agree on! My husbands never had much of a say. LOL.

Yes...it's a lot of pressure. Of our 4 boys the one we like the most is Henry, because it's the least popular and feels a bit more unique while still being traditional. So that's where we are coming from. It's just harder to find "older" girl names that don't sound old lady. I have seriously considered Millie, Ruby (dh wanted to name them Max & Ruby if they were girl/boy twins - weirdo), and such. Last time I left naming Sam too long and ended up deciding in the delivery room - I don't want to do that this time.

My SO is the same, he doesn't like anything either. Our oldest DD was nameless for 3 months because we couldn't agree
Middle names was easy, SO is scottish and his family are from the islands so we picked one of the island names for each, but first names? Not so much. My favourite is Nora, but SO doesn't like it, so we didn't use it.

We have a Benjamin, Amelia and Rachael. They are not trendy, but a bit old fashioned, especially with us spelling Rachael with the "a" in it.
Tony and I decided pretty easily. I wanted Daniel (named after Dan Marino, I'm a Dolphins fan, have been my whole life) but DH is a Pats fan, and vetoed it. So he wanted to name our kid Tom (middle name Brady) but I absolutely refused. LOL

We had a really hard time with our son's name, but our daughter was easy -- her name is Juliana which is a very old, traditional name, but still very pretty and girly. And I love the nickname Julie which is so "all-american" girl.
