Have you and your husband write down your top 10 names. Then, go down your list one by one and compare them. The 1st name you get to that's highest on both your lists wins. You may even need to look at your top 20 names in order to find one on both your lists.

What I think helped us the most though was that we would give the baby a new name every week and only call it that name. Usually after a week of saying and living with the same name we were on the same page about how we felt about it. That really helped narrow things down.

I think we, as the pregnant ones, should get a teeeeny tiny bit more pull though if it's between two names that you both like but one prefers "Alex" and the other perfers "Jim". If mom prefers "Alex" and hubby doesn't HATE it, then by all means use the sympathy card!![]()
I am intrigued as to what name has a traditional, an Irish and an Indian spelling?!Feb03Bride|1314413982|3001136 said:I wanted the traditional spelling and DH wanted the Indian one. We finally agreed on the irish spelling as a compromise
