Naming your baby?

[florassecret.livejournal.com]

Did you name your baby or your better half? I know my dad had no say in the matter with me, my mother named me Dorina. Same with my sister, Christa, and even my brother Bryan. All of us were named by my mother. I know my dad tried to help name my sister Birtha, and my mother refused. LOL perhaps that's a good thing.

My husband and I made a promise to agree or the name isn't used. LOL we never got to pick a girl's name out for our first born as Jocelyn was born 4 weeks early and we thought it was a boy. And no we didn't know the sex of our first born. This time we made another rule and promise, to pick names early before the baby was born so we wouldn't have to come up with a name on the spot; for girl Madeline Dorothy, for boy, Gabriel Maximilian. We both agreed on both names almost right away. Did you fight with your spouse till you or he/she caved or was a mutual effort in naming your kids?

BTW, anyone can answer this, even if you are not having a baby. I thought to put this out there as I've heard alot of people having arguments about baby names and what to name their baby.

Like my sister had no choice but to name both her boys scottish names as her husband wouldn't budge.

Oh and if you didn't get to help in the naming the baby, do you like it or hate it?

My husband had a big say in what we named our daughter. We knew her middle name was going to be Elaine after my grandmother. We fought over Melanie or Chistianna (pronounced like Cri-SHAWN-na) and ended up with Kristen. So I'm pretty glad he fought me over it, she doesn't look like a Melanie!
