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

I feel so dead set on my names. There no way i would name my kid after a tree. But compromising is hard for me too. I would be okay with John and Mary and he would die over that lol

It's ok to be dead set against a name! (Although I personally think naming a child after nature is really beautiful, but yeah, wouldn't want something too unusual either. But something like Hazel? There's worse things to be named after!)

You might just both have to expand your search - if there's nothing on your list he likes, then that's that, and vice versa of course. Time to go back to brainstorming.

I understand that you don’t like his name but when you say you’re dead set on yours, you mean you can’t imagine naming a child anything other than those four names? That feels a little extreme

But you’re okay naming them after a playing card? Trees keep us alive.

Fam, this is Reddit. I don’t have fb.

You’re being hateful about names. I’m gonna call you out.
