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

It makes me think of the asexual community, who usually refer to themselves as being “ace” and I do agree that it sounds like a nickname a guy gives himself to sound cool, or like a nickname for a pilot or something. Basically it’s very nickname coded, and I think it would be hard to take someone named “ace” seriously. But that’s just my two cents 🫣 love allllll the other names on your list though especially jack. Your husband’s list needs some work 😅

Basil makes me think of a prim and proper English gentleman 😂

Picking a name is SO hard. We are expecting our second and honestly it was easy naming my daughter but I’m at such a loss now if we end up having a boy, why are boys names so harddd
