My husband don't like the name.

[Queeny01]

So we found out yesterday we are having a girl.So I toad him if it was a girl she is all
mean so I am going to name her Malaysia.
He said well how u expect her to get a job with that name.I toad him that is a strong name that she will have.He said well we have time to chance it.No I am not gaving this name up every.So what do u think of her first name?

[Kiysmommy]

I'm actually naming my daughter Malaysia. I really like the name, I wanted something different for my daughter's name. My son's name is Kiyan. Really didnt want to name my kids a common name.

[m_r_p]

Yeah, I have to agree. It's rude and you're being overly stubborn about it. He should get some say. If he doesn't like it he could pick a nickname you hate just to spite you. I think you might need to learn to compromise a little.

[th986]

I think you should take into consideration what he says. Some beautiful names are ruined by some things and it might be unfair but that's how it is.  I have the same problem, I want a Croatian name (we are Croatian) for my baby but the ones I like sound terrible in France where we live. So we have to think about Frenchies not hating it that much.

[nickizzy]

I personally would never be so disrespectful to my partner when it's not just your child and name a baby without him liking or helping with the name. I understand u loving the name but he has just as much right as you, but by the sound of your comments your simply not even considering a compromise and simply wanted to gloat about a name that u have decided on and don't care or respect your husbands input

[Soon2BeMommaOf3]

I like the middle names. Those are both really pretty

[EstrellaRuiz]

I love that name, it's beautiful!! I love different names and think it's a good one and strong like you said. I do also think you should come to an agreement though, I picked a name I absolutely loved but had to give it up for one me and my boyfriend both agreed on.. It's just as beautiful as the first but means more to me that we both picked it..

[Queeny01]

I guess I will be the only person in the world that will love her name.And I wish a grown azz person would tease her about her name specially if she still child did I say that I'm over protective when it comes to my kids!!!!
If there is a chance in hell that he can come up with another name.When we agree if it was a girl I will name her since he named our son.She is my daughter if he doesn't like the first name the he can call her by one of her middle names which will be Dena Faith so he.have choice..

[ambs87]

Or you could make it the middle name and find a first name y'all agree on. Then later in life she can go by what she likes best

[keaanddan03]

Im in the same boat as you! My husband and I cannot agree on a name. I think our baby will be called baby.... lol!!! Maybe he will warm up to it? Maybe ha can pick the middle name?

[JaydasMama]

Aww thats kind of sad I agree I feel like if your husband does not like that name yall shoulf come to a compromise shes yours as much as shes his its not right to be like that cuz if it was him doing something like that to you you wouldnt like it.. I love that name it is very preety but I picked out so many names for my daughter and me and my husband could just not come to a compromise until I said jayda and then we just clicked and absolutely knew that would be her name. :) compromise is what keeps a happy family together. :)

[AshleyNM]

You should definitely compromise. I had a girls name picked out that I absolutely loved. My boyfriend isn't too crazy about it so I let it go. This will be his child just as much as mine and I feel he has the right to help pick.

[DaniJezTyson]

I agree, if the dad doesnt like it compromise. My Mum named her youngest Bryanee and the father hated it. He struggles to pronounce it to this day and shes now 11 so he calls her Bree or Ella (her middle name) Me and my partner are going through names. The ones he doesn't we scrap and the ones I dont like I dont write down lol You should both be happy with the name, because its there for life.

[pourmycoffee]

Its pretty selfish to have a 'too bad so sad' attitude about her name. You are not and will not be her only parent.

Its not fair to force him to call her by a name he hates. Same as it wouldn't be fair for him to do it to you. Regardless how strong you feel that name is.

[Soon2BeMommaOf3]

Im not a huge fan of malaysia but thats just me. At the same time no one liked the name Melia except me and my husband and we decided to name her that regardless but weve discussed all our kids names and compromised on them so we both liked them.

[Nikki4289]

I would reconsider too.  U have to think about your daughter not what you like.  Are other children or adults gonna make fun of her name as she gets older? Just because it has a good definition doesn't mean it's always perfect.  You guys made this child together so why can't he be apart of the naming too.  Maybe consider it as a middle name. But I know kids and she might have a hard time with that name. Good luck.  

[cindylee25]

Personally I don't care for it. I think you should compromise on a name with your husband. She is just as much his daughter as she is yours. Do you really want to name your child something that your husband doesn't like? A name is forever and shouldn't be chosen lightly or in selfishness

[ShalaneMarie]

To me it sounds like a stripper name. Sorry; ( if ur husband doesn't like it.  U should consider different options.

[jess56m]

It sounds like the country maybe change to diff spelling

[Queeny01]

What do the name Malaysia mean

You have psychic power. You can
carry on for others with joy. You
have a receptive nature and may
bear burdens for others. You are
pragmatic, thorough, strong-willed,
practical and stubborn at times.
You are hard working, often martyr
to duty. You like home and security
above all.You are bold,
independent, inquisitive and
interested in research. You know
what you want and why you want it.

You desire to inspire and lead, to
control other's affairs. You are
giving, courageous and bold, action
oriented,energetic and strong
willed. You want to make a
difference in the world, and this
attitude often attracts you to
cultural interests, politics, social
issues, and the cultivation of your
creative talents...

This is why I am in love with her name

[Queeny01]

That's funny he said the same thing.I for some reason always love that name .I thou it is different.And when I looked it up it is a name that I want her to be.If u look up the name you will see what I mean.It is a very strong name.

[sew2009]

I think if your husband doesn't like it at all, you should consider a compromise. It's his daughter too...Just my opinion. Is there significance behind the name? Makes me think of the country...

[My_2nd_Baby]

Why did you choose that name? Is there a reason behind it?
