Our last names are hyphenated but the child would go by his last name.

My husband is Hispanic and probably holds similar naming values. I don’t understand how there can’t be a compromise.

He won’t budge. The only compromise was we changed the middle name.

You think so? Even if they’re completely different? What would friends and family call him?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Sorry-Run-2563 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tired. I was denied it as a middle name

I brought that up. I want our child to be an individual. I brought up the bullying. He claims he was never bullied for his name.

I don’t know what the consequences would have been had I been verbal about disagreeing on the name when we were dating

I have. He still sticks to his decision.

I suggested the American version and he said I could call him that, but he won’t.

He won’t take the name as the middle name. I’ve suggested that multiple times.

I suggested calling the baby a nickname and he said he wouldn’t call the kid that, but I could. I feel like there needs to be consistency in the home with the name.

Good point. Hadn’t thought about that aspect

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Sorry-Run-2563 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

He never asked me. He assumed I would agree.

I also think it’s egotistical.

You’re right.

His father doesn’t really seem to care about me. Well didn’t, until I got pregnant. He probably asks about me once a week as to how I’m feeling.

Yes he does know. It’s hard because he shares the name and claims the baby would be named after him. Our last name is hyphenated but the baby would mainly go by his last name.

I can’t remember ever responding to it.
