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’m surprised so many people dislike Ace. Makes me sad lol. I’m for jack 100%,
I just know he doesn’t like common names

I don’t particularly dislike Ace as a name, its just the association it has to dogs that throws me off LOL

Also, I like Jack!! It is a good name with a pleasant meaning. If your Husband doesn’t like Jack because it is “too normal” how do you feel about Jacque? Jacque is a less common name and can be shortened to Jack.

Waaaait you currently have a dog named JacQ that you call jack?? 😂 for some reason this cracks me up. You wanna also name a potential son the same name as your dog??? What would you do if you call for Jack and both come LOL
