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 put me incharge of finding names,meaning and origian that I liked and he was a major help narrowing them down. I can be VERY stubborn when it comes to what I want and he knows that. And some names I thought were good names he ixnayed them so we went rounds for a couple of months with my son. This pregnancy it was a little easier. The same method but we both had a hard time narrowing down girls names until on finally just popped out more than the rest and then we worked from there. lol we're already starting to look for baby names for our next baby in 2 years. ;P
