Baby Name Poll Results
Acceptable vs. Not Acceptable
My husband & I have a daughter, & he felt really strongly about naming her. I wouldn’t mind, especially because i was worrried he’d upset about not having a boy & i got to choose the mn, but he named her after his sister (Julia) with whom he is very close, but she really hates me. Now we’re having a son, and i have a dilema. my favorite name ever is Jacob, & I love how Julie & Jake sounds. BUT, when he chose Julia, I was very angry, and now Jacob is the name of my ex-fiance (i broke it off before we married), so im afraid he’ll think im naming our son that to get back at him. I asked my brother his opinon, and he said it was really unacceptable. so wdyt? is this really stupid?

do it forget what he thinks. he’s the father and it shouldn’t really matter what you name a baby, it’s the love that counts

It sounds great. I like the name too. But if you think it may cause a fight, maybe it’s not a good idea. Talk it over with him, maybe he’ll understand :) A name for your child is something you should agree on!

I don’t get this. In my opinion, both parents need to LOVE the name they chose for their baby. I 100% do not understand the "you name this one/I’ll name the next one" thing!
Anyway, I think that you and your DH should sit down and pick out a name you BOTH love.

I agree with the 3rd poster. Naming a child should be enjoyable and you should both love the name.
However, since he picked a name that you didn’t love, then you could technically do the same to him. Although, you should be the more mature one and ask his input.

Sorry, no, you should not name your son the same name as your ex fiancee.
It’s just odd and inappropriate.
I don’t know the root of your troubles with your sil, but it’s troubling that your hubby knows that and isn’t helping you two to mend fences.
In general, it sounds like you have a very petty and immature relationship.
I would never worry that my husband would think I was trying to, "Get back at him." This is 7th grade material-not the way married people should be communicating.
I’d table the baby name discussion in favor of finding some couple’s counseling ASAP!!

No Way!! Naming a baby after your sister is one thing, but the same name as your ex-fiance. That’s just asking to cause a fight!!!

Sit down together and both of you make a list of your top 5 or 10 favorite names, in no particular order. Maybe he likes Jacob too. But it’s a very casual way of suggesting the name.
