Poll time/ Venting time again!! Is anyone else and their SO clashing in the name department? I came up with a name list of names I'd always wanted to name my child and got told they were all "too white" and "not urban enough" (meanwhile our names are Jennifer and Joshua...nowhere near urban) and that my SO wanted the name to begin with an A if its a girl JUST because his mother, and both of his sisters names begin with A's and actually came up with a variation of his youngest sister's name on top of that. I'm dead set against name patterns (for example, both of our names begin with J's so I'd find it cliche and ridiculous to name our child something that began with a j), and vowed to never do the whole junior thing because I personally just think it's weird and puts pressure on the kid even if the kid doesn't say it or demonstrate it, and at one point we actually agreed on the no junior thing, but he changed his mind childishly after I said I was unable to take care of something financially (that could've been completely avoided had he not quit his job knowing we have bills to pay AND a child on the way in approximately 29 weeks...he luckily just got a new job today) because I have credit card bills (that I never ask him for help with because of his responses) coming up, and I'm a full time student just barely getting hours at my current job and I'm trying to save the best I can since I'm the only one who can pay for anything in terms of our child right now. However, I did then offer to give him half of what he needed and asked if he could get the other half from someone else since he said he'd just ask his mom for the money, which he then switches up and says he can't ask anyone else for the other half (hey bud, you just said you were going to ask someone else for the whole thing...how can you not ask them for half?). He (after yelling at me to drop the name situation when I just gave my opinion) then tells me that I'm thinking too much about the name and then while I'm mid sentence he hangs up on me. It's just annoying and hard to compromise and makes me not want to compromise when he does stupid stuff like that and always criticizes everything I've said or done in terms of this baby. So long story short, has anyone else had issues agreeing on anything (and or everything like myself) with their child's other parent? And how are you dealing with it or trying to keep your composure?

I stayed telling my boyfriend the fathers can get the pregnancy mood swings too because we got into it all the time! If you know your partner, just don't stress yourself about it, which is kind of hard but y'all would be fine like nothing happened the next time y'all talk. My boyfriend and I also didn't agree on a name so I left it alone we agreed on a name the day we found out the gender, so don't stress about a name yet either y'all have time

@mookie1, lol I legit told him that yesterday! It's like every other day we get into it and then god forbid I'm over it and I call him for something or about something important and get I'll hit with attitude from the moment he picks up the phone and on a really bad day I get put on do not disturb (for no good reason whatsoever), and then just like you said everything goes back to fine out of nowhere! And yeah, I've been trying not to mention it too much and been trying to look at it in terms of we still have a lot of time for that any time he brings it up or starts with me about my name choices at this point.

don't stress about a name. We argeed on a name before we found out what we were having. Once we found out what we were having we started to look at different names and then finally named our son. I would just enjoy the next 10 weeks before finding out the gender. Now with our second; I'm still trying to find a name even with knowing the gender.
