Usually I'm the one that comes up with names and DH either says yay or nay, with DS1, being the first, I had an abundance of both boy and girl names. For a girl we had decided or Aaliyah Jayde and neither or us loved anything else, for a boy I had a short list of about 4 names and on that list DH only liked the fourth (which I wasn't totally sold on) but we didn't come up with anything we liked any better so he is C o o p e r. With DS2 we realised we had made an ABC pattern and if we found a 'D' name we loved we'd go with it so that narrowed it down a bit, because DH had got the final day on DS1s name I said I get the final day on this one, again we found loads of girls names we loved and narrowed it down to Delany, Della or Delta but not much inspiration for boys then found out he was in fact a boy lol I remember driving along one day and thinking of the names Dylan and Hayden which I liked but thought they were to 'normal' I then mooshed them together and got D a y l e n and loved it and DH didn't come up with anything he liked better so agreed to it if his middle name was DHs first name. With this baby again I'm the one doing all the searching and suggesting and DH is just saying yay or nay. 'E' names are hard but and we've agreed we'll ditch the pattern if we don't find something we both love,
