When the time comes let us know what happens. I like to know what you named the little one.

Give me a break grow up!
I named our sons, my husband named our daughter. We made that agreement before we were married. In your case, let Dad have the honor of having a son named after him and KEEP the family tradition alive! Call the baby by his initials, choose a nickname. Good luck! You may be upset for nothing you may have another princess
Entitled much? Geez - this baby is not just YOUR child, he also belongs to your husband too. You have known all along what your husband’s wishes are so just STOP! Enough already! What if you pick a name and your husband hates it - is he just supposed to suck it up? If that is your attitude, you should look for a divorce attorney and let your husband find someone that wants to be a partner in a marriage and not just a sperm donor because that is how you are treating him.
I would give in and go with the tradition. However, you pick the middle name and call him by that.
It’s a win win.
I had a similar situation when I had my son. His father hated his name (he was the 2nd), I told my husband that I would pick out the first name and our son could have his middle name. This worked because my husband hated his name and it gave him an out with the family…(wife picked out name)… The family was over it the minute he was born, my husband was happy and so was I.
The kid is probably going to hate his name anyway, so I wouldn’t worry about it. A great nickname would solve the problem.
Stick with tradition and call him something else.
No, we have 3 Johns in our family and it’s really stupid. Call him what you want, maybe a name from your family, he’s your kid too!!
Stay with your agreement. This seems to mean a lot to your husband. I know somehow it will work out. Congratulations.
Why can’t you name him after your husband, and call him whatever you like? Jr, Bud, J.R. Butch, Sonny, Chip, Dude, Skip, Opie, or hey you.
Time to lay down the law sis… You’re carrying the baby. You already have 30 bubba’s in the family and compromise is part of the family unit. Stand up for yourself and the baby’s name! You can’t allow him to be completely happy and you completely miserable … give the baby four names if you have to but definitely put your foot down and do not be a push over. He’ll live… They all will!
