My husband’s baby names are driving me to tears – I want to name our boy James or Isaac but he won’t let me choose

CHOOSING a name for your baby should be a joint effort between you and your partner.

Sadly, this mom can’t say the same as her husband is choosing “out-there names.”

Taking to Mumsnet.com, an expectant mom revealed she was having some major issues with her husband as of late.

Asking for help, she wrote: “I’m probably hormonal but has anyone ever had an argument with their partner over baby names?

“I’ve had a little cry because I can’t see us ever agreeing.

[Dear husband] keeps suggesting names like Ozymandias and Balthazar.

“Mine are more traditional like James, Isaac. I’m open to more unique names but he won’t stop with these bloody out-there names.

“For context, we live in the UK and there’s no interesting heritage to warrant names he’s choosing.

“I asked him for a ‘normal’ name and those were his normal names.”

She further explained: “He spent half an hour reeling off names which were the same kind of bold names.

“I was growing more irritated, so several times, I said he’s winding me up and to just stop. I stopped responding to the names and ignored him but when he finally said, for the 4th time, ‘what IS wrong with Balthazar though?’ I asked him to leave the room.

“He chose our daughter’s name which I liked after months of disagreements with his girl’s names so I suggested I choose our son’s name.

“He’s rejected every name on my list so far and refuses me naming him alone.

Following her post, many were divided on whether she was right to blow up on him or not.

One person said: “I think the hormones have gone to my head a bit as I can’t think of anything worse than a beige name like Oliver or James.”

However, many others simply suggested they both write their own lists and aim to find a common ground.
