Name anxiety! Any advice helps .

We don't quite know the sex of our baby yet but we had both picked out names long before our pregnancy. My husband has had a boys name picked since he was little, I've known the name since we first got together but now that were close to finding out the sex, I'm freaking out. I really don't like the name but I can't deny him it because he has had his heart set on it for many years. He let me decide on the name if it is a girl without hesitation so how can I hesitate on letting him choose the name if its a boy. Eraziel DeMarco Martinez, is what he wants it sounds cool and all but I can't actually picture calling my son that. And I don't know if he actually likes the girl name I picked out, he says he does but what if he's just saying that because he got to pick the boys name? Any advice?

I am getting induced in 1 more day and we had a name picked out Caine Eli Palmer. We been calling baby this since I got pregnant now he wants to change it at the last minute and refuse to tell me until we get to hospital. I want him included and all but I want to know what it is becuz this is forever his name. I understand the pressure u must feel I'm going thru the same but I refuse to let him name my son something  crazy.

Dont stress to much about names once your baby is here and you hold them you will just know what will suite them when i had mysencond son i said from when i found out he was a boy he was guna be calle Blake but once he arrived i felt like it just didnt suit him so he went a week with no name untill the name koby just poped into my head and now i just couldny ever imagen calling him anything else but Koby its like it was made for him. Strange iknow but trust u will just know once babys born. Good luck. Xx

i think having no name for a week is better than impulsively naming your kid something and regretting it a week or a month later.

Its not impulsive though he has had his heart set on Eraziel since he was little. I cant take that away from him.
