In your family, who chose/chooses the baby’s name? Your husband? Your wife? or some next family member?
Has anyone come into a situation where they couldn’t agree on a name? For example, all the names the wife likes, her husband does not like and vice versa? Some people have very different tastes in names and when its your OWN baby you are naming, it’s a pretty big deal, I’m sure one side can’t give in so easily right?

Well we chose the name together, albeit he wanted my son's name more than me, I had another name in mind. I was under general anesthesia so at the point I didn't care anymore. This time around I am choosing the name, i made it clear from the beginning, but have asked for suggestions..etc.....but nothing really good so far.
Re: Complications of choosing the baby's name...
i know someone who couldn't name their baby for almost three weeks after birth because the parents of the hubby were going to choose. and they kept suggesting names the parents didn't like and rejecting the names the parents did like. finally the couple just called up his parents and told them they were naming the baby their top choice and the parents had to deal with it.
about time, let me tell you! ugh. i don't like this interfering... its like, you already named your own children., so now why not let them have the joy of choosing a name for their child?

^ I totally agreee. I think the naming should be done only by the parents of the baby. There should be no interference from other family members.
What I'm curious about though is when the husband and wife disagree on what to name their child. What happens then?

i dont agree with the notion dat only parents shud name the children ............
parents shud consult grand parents as well .....................
coz i have seen a trend that ppl are naming their children wid absurd name ............. they have obsession that "the name must be new" ............ without paying heed towards the meaning of the name
Re: Complications of choosing the baby's name...
^ i think most desi people, at least, tend to give more precedence to the meaning of the name as opposed to how trendy it is. you won't catch any ridiculous names like some of the gora celebrities- i mean, really, pilot inspektor? apple? rocket? those are DUMB names. i think consulting grandparents is a good idea, but the final decision should be up to the parents.
