How do you agree on a name ? 😅

Originally before we were pregnant and then before we knew the gender we were saying we'd give them my grandmothers name for first and his mom's name as second if it was a girl and my husband's dad's name for second and something original for first name if it was a boy . However we found out it was a girl and my mom blew up that we wanted to name her my grandmothers name which I get cuz it's her mils name she doesn't particularly get along with and its a very old school Slavic name. Now my husband wants to grind her gears even more and give his mom's name as first name with a twist and my mom's moms name as second however I think it's going a lil far now 😅 I was all for his mom's name to be involved however our relationship is up and down and I'm just not in love with it. We had a lil list of names we liked but we just can't agree at all 😅 I'm already contracting but my cervix is stubborn so she can come out any second and we have no name 😅 any tips how to resolve it ?

I would say if there's issues there it might be best to avoid all family names and pick a new one. Then again it's nobodys business why you picked a name so your mother will just have to deal with it if you choose your grandmother's name. It needs to be what you and your partner love and what suits your little girl. Best wishes for your labour, hope she arrives soon 🩷

In that case NO grandma names lmao they don't get to chose . Husband and you should chose your own unique name and if anything use middle names for grandma's

@Katie it'd be ideal but we almost feel forced to say least have a second name from my husbands side cuz our first has my dad's name as his second name and his first is unique 😅 my choices are unique/unusual and his are Pokémon choices 😅I'm almost afraid whoever delivers the baby will have to end up naming her at this point 🤣🤣🤣

@Patrycja that definitely makes it harder/more awkward then. If you like your grandma's name you've chosen then I say go for it and your mum will just have to get over it. You have time though don't worry, you don't have to be decided until you register the birth

I’m avoiding all family names to avoid any politics/upset! We’ve been using an app called Babyname, where you each download it and swipe on names you like, and then see which ones you match on. Like peanut/tinder swiping 😊

I would just come up with a new original name and maybe use your own name or have your middle name as middle name for baby
