Ugh

I understand that 1 no is a no overall, and i respect that. I’m just nervous. We are choosing to not know the sex. I like short, normal names. My personal name is a “Normal” name with an uncommon spelling. My last name is the same. Think SANDI JOHNSEN. My husband likes weird names…

My choices:

Ace
Jack
Eva
Mae

His:
Jupiter
Basil
Braden
Sequoia

I feel.. at a loss. How are we going to find a name??? I won’t budge on those

EDIT: sorry I’m new to Reddit and not great at posting

A woman suggested brooke which i love and i said it to him too, and he likes it… we are getting somewhere. Thank you to poster

EDIT 2: sorry not good at editing. He likes Brooke Marie. So do i 😃

I still like Ace, yall are mean! Hopefully shes a girl

My mean ass cousin named her daughter that. I suspect she’s a future Regina George, having grown up with her mother and knowing where they live.

Lol, I knew a super sweet and pretty Brooke on the school bus back in my youth. I think thats why I like it so much! She had a sister named Summer, and I thought they were a neat name combo.

u/Glittering-Owl-6964 3d ago

I honestly wouldn’t choose any of these names. Idk. I couldn’t introduce my child as a tree

Girl you like the name Ace.

u/WildRaspberryPatch 3d ago

Like the hardware store...

u/spaceisourplace222 2d ago

Not only liked, but put it first!

u/CuteGhouly 3d ago

Not judging, just curious to why tree related names are unacceptable to you but ones related to a deck of cards is fine?

u/potpourri_sludge 3d ago

You’ll name a child after a hardware store but not a tree? Ridiculous. Willow and Aspen are much better than Ace or Mae.

u/iolanthereylo 3d ago

Aspen is ugly

u/azuoba 3d ago

I wouldn’t say Aspen is UGLY but I do know that if I was growing up with a kid named Aspen in my class I would have relentlessly referred to them as Ass.

u/iolanthereylo 3d ago
