The baby-naming arguments you and your partner will definitely have

Naming your baby can be a little on the stressful side when you and your partner just can't seem to agree.

You get there in the end, but not before a few disagreements! Take a look at our list of the common arguments parents have when trying to pick a name for their little bundle of yumminess.

1. Do you want our poor child be made fun of for the rest of his life?

2. I know your Aunt Hortense is very important to you but it’s still NOT happening.

3. No one will be able to spell it. Or pronounce it for that matter!

4. I went to school with a girl who had that name. She wasn’t very nice.

5. We’re NOT naming our child after a character in Star Trek!

6. Oh it’s a lovely name, but it’ll definitely be shortened, so no.

7. It’s about what we BOTH want, not just you. I don’t care if you’ve wanted to call your daughter ‘Barbie’ since you were 6.

8. Can we not just use your dad’s name as a middle name? Basil is just a bit too much for a baby.

9. We are NOT calling our son Bruce Wayne.

10. No way, that sounds like an old lady’s name.

11. Not happening, for some reason that name reminds me of sick. I can’t explain it, it just does.

12. It’s too boring.

13. It’s too unusual.

14. People will think we’re trying too hard.

15. We’re Irish! It’s far from Desdemona and Clotilde we were reared!

16. Oh that’s gorgeous! Yes I love it – finally we’re in agreement. Oh no, oh wait, now that I think about it a woman I work with called her daughter that. No, we can’t have the same.

17. No, everyone will think we just copied [insert celebrity here]. They’ll think we have no imagination.

18. My mother / father / brother / sister will be very offended, so no.

19. It sounds ridiculous with our surname. A tongue twister!

20. Okay but only if I can spell it this cooler and more unusual way.

What do you think, mums? Sound familiar?
