Baby Name Arguing

[JMC]

Me and my girlfriend cant agree on a name we like !!

We have only really been discussing it for about 4 weeks but we just cant agree

Im sure you have all been through it, any advice?

Also, as far as the babys second name goes, If i want it to have my second name and she wants it to have her second name, who wins, as silly as it sounds

Does she get to choose because she is the one carrying it...

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

i think it is her but not 99 % sure could u not do a double barrel surname eg: smith- jones hehe
and for first names seperatly rite allowed of names down and give it to hte other person they cross the names they dont like off n then goi from there lol
i didnt have this problem but it sounds a good way lol

 

[JMC]

Yeh that sounds like a really good way

I dont think she would have smith-mccoy, its quite a good compremise though

as for the first names, I think swapping lists and taking it from their is a great way

To be honest we will be picking and changing names right up until the baby is born right ?!

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

well i had a girls name at 30 weeks PG and a boys in the delivery suite lol

Haha

To be honest i dont want to spend my time arguing over names. Who cares... to an extent. Aslong as we dont call it something stupid right?!

She said she wants an unusual name, like Kiomi. I hate that !!

I think something more simple would be nice

I quite like Stephanie (Steph) and Michael (Mikey)

 

[hev&madi]

hehe we have been finding choosing a name very hard lol now we have come down to

mason for a boy

madison for a girl

as for the last name were still trying to decide

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

as my name was so popular at skool has 7 in my IT class lol i wanted something more unusual for Braydon
hence the name Braydon Andrew - andrew after my dad as his been gr8
and for a girl he would have been Breigh-anna faith janet Janet after my mum and for the same reason
could u not 1 have the name as a 1st name n the other pick the middle if it gonna cause fites

 

[JMC]

Well i think we have agreed on middle names

She wants elizebeth if its a girl, and i want thomas if its a boy

We are both fine with that

But she wants the baby to have her second name and we are both finding it hard to agree on a first name

sarah is right as your not married she can use her name, as its only her that has to register the birth if you want to be on the birth cert you have to go with her, still if you get back together who knows you might get married then can change its name then!

We always talk about marriage but shes only 16... So obviously its a long way off anyway

I will register the birth with her of course... I just want it to be a McCoy !! But at the end of the day its not essential and we can always change it in the future, although thats rather confusing !!

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

if u r that serious tlking bout marrage why is she so against bubs having ur name???
but ur rite can always be changed in the future

Well it was always going to be named after me... no doubt about it we didnt even discuss it and she was happy

Then all of a sudden she said she wanted it after her

That was pretty hurtful because i think it was based on 'im the one who always have to be their you could easily not bother'

I dont know what brought it on, i never gave any impression i'd do that and i certainly wouldn't

Maybe she is jsut thinking negative... hourmones by any chance ladies?

Hi,

Just wanted to add, If I was your girlfriend, and 16, having a baby, there would be no doubt in my mind that the baby would be registered in my name. Theres nothing to say that this can change in the future if you both are a couple and stay together but at 16 you can't see that far ahead so maybe you should say to her, you know I completely understand you want the baby to have your last name, possibly this can change in the future but it's not an issue.

Good luck with picking the christian name, it definately takes time and I'm not gonna totally decide until I see the little face and see if the names we like will suit him or her.

Yeh i see where your coming from. I'll hold off a bit. How many times has a lad promised the world to his g/f and let her down?

I'm not going to do that, but i understand that she is concerned.

I quite like Stephanie (Steph) )[/b][/quote]

Oh that is a great name!!! hehe

 

[jenna]

If i had a baby and i wasnt married i would give the baby my sur name. my first boy will have my maiden name as his middle name as my maiden name is "tyree" and can be used as a first name aswell I think it would be cool to do that have like 2 sur names or what ever after all it isnt just the girl who makes the child.

 

[beanie]

Me and my OH are not married but my baby has his surname. However if I was not ina relationship I would probably have had her registered with my surname. I personally am not a fan of double barrelled names (both me and OH have long surnames anyway so poor child if we did that) but its something that you will both have to agree on.

 

[JMC]

Yeh i agree

Well maybe if we can work harder on are relatiponship and get it back on track, come the time of the baby the only real thing on her mind about me an her will be when are we gettin married !!

So we will just have to wait and see

At the moment im not goin to put any pressure on her as a lot can change and its too soon to be discussin it right now

 

[Lilli]

How old are you both? Im curious..

 

[Lilli]

If i wasnt married, i would let the baby take the fathers name, IMO.
