My husband wants to pick a name!! HELP!

We're having twins and he is so set on naming one of them Wolf if we have boys.. I don't like it. I feel like it's so easy to make fun of :( how do I nicely talk him out of it without hurting his feelings??

We have two children already and I picked their first name's and we picked their middle name's together...(we agreed on them together but I basically picked them because he was just like "oh, that sounds nice" to every name I spit out).

Now, he wants to do it all on his own. What do I do/say to him?

@a_love that is the first time I've heard that. My hubby would be so happy if he saw your comment :p

Anyone have any good names so Wolf could be a possible nickname? Wolfgang is out, though. I really want to make hubby happy but at the same time I don't want my child to be teased because of a poor decision his father made.

That's what we did, we have a whole list of names that start with W (that's our theme) and he wants Wolf.. I love Walter and Wattson.. he wants Wolf. No matter what I say or who says it..he gets super offended because he just wants to pick a name for one of the twins.

I'm like really stressed as is and I just don't understand why he can't reason just a little bit. It can't be a middle name because all our kids have character trait middle name's..we have Winter Grace and Whittaker Brave.. so middle name's for boys will be True and Honor.

Seriously, I need something good because he's so set on that name. :( I'm at a loss.

I love it!! Its def not something any other kid will have but if you hate it that much I'd just be honest , ask for it to be his middle name and at home that's what you call him..but either way you need to tell him how u really feel or its never gunna get resolved

I would just be honest...say you don't like it.
Maybe make a  list of names together and agree on one.  
Wolf could be one of the middle names.
