Hi, my husband and I cannot decide on a name we both like. We have a list and tried condensing it, but I don’t 100% like the name.
I’m 40 weeks pregnant and on a time crunch to find a name 😂🙈 I have one I REALLY love but he doesn’t like it at all.
I feel like at this point I should be able to choose a name. I’m carrying the baby, I struggled with the symptoms, and had a not-so-lovely pregnancy journey so far (plus two miscarriages in the past). Am I being selfish for wanting to choose the name?

No not selfish at all. Do what I did and say it’s between two names and you’ll decide once you meet the baby. Then once your husband watches you go through labour and you’re all exhausted you look at your baby and say he/she looks like a

Oh 100 you can choose 🤣 mine and my husbands lists are so super different im really stressing over it but ultimately I get the final say 🤣🤣

Im a firm believer that it should be argeed on by both parents. Yes you had to deal with the pregnancy but you will both be raising the child. What are the names you love and he loves? Maybe we can help with a compromise

I was all about finding a name we both like but now after everything is done I must say: you definitely have the final say 😄 I wish I would’ve thought like that before. Would’ve made it a lot easier. I think it’s important your partner does like the name though of course but if it’s not a red flag, do as the previous girls suggested and just tell him right after birth. 😆

Alora means beautiful dream

Just go get a tattoo of the name you like and be like sorry its already tattooed on me😂
