So with DD I read through thousands of names, came up with a list, showed it to hubby scratched the ones off he didnt like and then picked the name we both liked the best...and girl names are so easy for me, i have like 10 names i love...

however we are expecting a boy, and there are pretty much no names that i like except one that im set on...

Braydan..

cross out the first a and the d and you get my husbands name
now scratch out the b and you get ryan, after my deceased cousin
and then dan was my deceased grandfathers name

so i am 10000% set on this name, i love how it has so much meaning and is named after so many people yet still his own name..

but hubby likes another name, no meaning to it and i dont even like it :S

i dont know what to do because now i feel like its one of us have to get our way and the other one gives in, compromising on a middle name wont make either one of us feel better..

i thought about just trying to find another name, and i want to like his name....but bc it has so much meaning for me im so stubbornly set on Braydan...i just feel like thats his name..

it was so much easier the first time..any ideas or opinions?

... Are you meaning that you guys wouldn't want to combined the names for a first and second name so you both could have a name you would like???

Maybe wait until DS is born and when DH is so over joyed at being a daddy again he will happily name him braydan. After all, he might not suit the name he has picked out. Can you compromise and use the name he likes as a middle name?

I know this doesn't help , but I really like the name Braydan!
maybe explain all the reasons why it is so meaningful to you or tell him when he is pregnant for 9mos and delivers a baby-he can pick the name-LOL. Seriously though Braydan is a beautiful name
