My partner and I let our 10 year old son name our unborn daughter. he has come up with the name Summer Mackenzie. We dont LOVE it, but we did say he could choose. What do you guys think? should we try to skillfully talk him out of it?

I think both names are okay, but together it has too much m. If you don’t want to flat out say no to your son, then just talk him into the name you choose.

That really isn’t the "Worst" he could do. I’d pick my top three, and let him choose. Make sure you LOVE your top three though. And set him down and do it with him, like ask for his suggestions.

You could always ask him to come up with more names he likes and choose from them.

I just have to ask, because I’ve never known anyone to actually let a sibling have full rank over the newborn’s name, but what caused you and your husband to decide on this?
Jw because I love the naming process between husband and wife.

I would tell your son to either suggest more names he likes and you and your husband come up with a full name that flows better or you and your husband make a list of first names then let your son pick his favorite and you can pick one of his names like Summer, Mackenzie, or have him suggest more he likes and use that as the babys middle name. I think your son will be happy because he did get to pick the babys first name and you will be happy too. Hope this helps GL

thanks guys
in response to what made us let our son choose the name: when we told him aboutthe baby there was a bit of jealously, the "will mum and dad still like me" feeling. He is old enough to understand and since he has been on his own for so long it was a bit unsettling. to get him excited and feel involved we decided to let him choose the name.

I would go with his choice because I think the name is adorable.

I really like the name Mackenzie or Makenna. I think you need to tell him that everyone (mom, dad, big brother) is going to suggest 3 names and you will decide from those choices.

I think Summer Mackenzie is very cute, but it really needs to be something everyone agrees on... what if you pick the first name and let him pick the middle!

Or use one of those as the middle name... OR ten year olds change their mind a lot, give it a few weeks and ask him again!
