Baby name help! Again...?

I love the name Lucas Joshua Willoughby or something else with the name Lucas in it (this name was the name my hubby came up with about 3 months ago when we found out we were having a baby boy) But now as some of you may know... my hubby has came to the conclusion that he hates the name Lucas now. I'm so hung up on the name Lucas that I can't see straight! I've cried and cried because he doesn't like it anymore... but hes determined to change it to anything but the name Lucas. I've tried to think of other names just to please him.. but the fact is I can't... I adore the name Lucas... and I'm gonna feel broken hearted no matter what if I don't get to use that name! How do I convince him I cannot give it up.. I mean you never know... we may not have more children and if we do they may not be boys...I feel like I'm doing myself a disfavor by not using the name Lucas because I love that name so much!

Baby name help! Again...?
I'd decided on the name that i was going to give to my baby boy when I was 7 months pregnant. After that, he was no longer..."the baby". He had a name, an identity. He stopped being just "a baby", he was Malcolm.


I think that I can understand your feeling, because for you "lucas" is not just a name anymore. It is the name that you've thought about when you thought about this little angel you're carrying. You have every right to be sad and sorry. I would be too. try to explain this to your husband, but if he doesn't understand ( knowing men..he won't!) than you have to reach a compromise. It is his baby...and if he doesn't like the name it's no good calling him that. Whatever name you choose, you'll still love him, it's your baby ! Good luck and sincere wishes!
Reply:i would tell him that you are stuck on the name Lucas he can call him Luke for short and it can always be a middle name he used to like it what happened? why not try Lucas as a middle name like James Lucas Willoughby? that is cute and can call him Jamie or James for short...that is all i can say or think of other boys names you like....good luck honey!
Reply:We had a similar issue with the name elliot. My wife loved it I hated it. then one day we were watching jonny quest the cartoon and i proposed Race as a name. She did not like it but let me choose because he was a boy and she figured i would give a boy a good boy name. turns out that the name Race is the best name ever for this kid. Let your husband name the kids. You get all the nurturing and bonding time as they grow up, at least let him give them what he considers strong names.
Reply:It took two of you to make the baby, it's going to take two of you to name the baby. Come to the agreement together. You might try compromising by saying that Lucas can be a middle name, but you get veto power on whatever first name he chooses.
Reply:What about Luke? Maybe he would go for that. I personally like Lucas, we were going to name our second child that but it didn't fit with the middle name we wanted. So we went with Matthew instead. Maybe he would go for Lucas as the middle name and then you could still use it when you are scolding him!!=) Good Luck.
Reply:Joshua Lucas.


Or tell your husband its you going to give a birth and it's you going to be in pain, so why can't you have a 2nd thing that will make you happy [ the baby is 1st]
Reply:Give him Lucas as a middle name and let him pick out the first name. If he still doesn't agree, tell him its your *** that's going to be in labor for 15 hours, not his!
Reply:Compromise and and name him Joshua Lucas that way he doesnt have to call him Lucas but he is still named Lucas! I hope you win. Congrats!
Reply:Why don't you compromise and use Lucas for the middle name and think of a new first name?
Reply:Maybe you could talk to your husband about using Lucas as the middle name?
Reply:name name him lucas call him something else...like Luke?
