Mum asks if she should issue ultimatum to her husband about baby name

Did you have your heart set on your child's name?

Many mums-to-be will have their minds made up on their child's name months before it comes out of their womb. Others will have no clue what to call their child and will be indecisive until the very last second. Both ways are completely normal. However, this mum lies with the former half and has had her name picked out for her first child years ago. But now she has learned that her husband hates it. Taking to Mumsnet, the pregnant woman wrote:

"DH and I are shortly expecting our first child, a boy. I have a boys name I have absolutely loved for years, my absolute favourite by a country mile. "DH hates it. He can’t give any real reason, he just doesn’t like the name. "He has recently suggested using a family name as DS’s middle name, as it’s a family tradition. I’m not keen on this name at all. WIBU to say that we can use this family middle name, on the provision that we use the first name I love? I don’t want to pull the “I’ll be the one pushing him out” card but I feel if he wants this family middle name, I should get final say on the first name."

Many mums believed that she was being a tiny bit unreasonable as both parents have to like the name they give their child. One said:

"If he hates the name then no don't do that. There are a bajillion boys names out there. Pick one you both agree on."

However, another mum wrote that she thinks it is fair:

"I'd say yes you can. If he chooses the middle name, you get to choose the first. At least both of you are having an input. "I know how you feel -It's so hard to choose a name when you've got your heart set on one."

What do you think? Do you think she should reach a compromise?
