The baby is almost here, but my wife still hasn't settled on a name

We experienced a similar situation during the name event before. My spouse kept changing their mind in the last few weeks, and in the end, we chose three names and voted between us. I even had a hard time getting that accepted, but we cut off the last-minute stress from the start.

I think you should make a list and write their meanings next to them. Both of you choose a maximum of 5 names each, then discuss the matching ones. It will be clear quickly without dragging it out 🫠

Honestly, there are many couples who think about the name until the last minute. It seems like an event that will greatly affect the child's life, but in reality, it doesn't turn out that way. In fact, most names end up adapting to the child anyway.

But you seem to be quite tense as well. Eight months have passed, and both of you should already be happy with the name. Maybe you aren't giving your partner enough space to think about this.

Let me add something, just now we talked about the name again. This time we discussed something older, "at first I had already thought of this name but you didn't want it," he said. It feels like we exchanged a bit but let's see.

Ugh, just thinking about it is exhausting. I couldn't handle the whole thing of coming up with a new name every day. It's like whatever they're thinking upon waking up is what they bring out, total chaos of indecision.

They say you should consider your child's zodiac sign when choosing a name, is that true? For example, my nephew was born under the water sign, and his name was specifically chosen to be 'Deniz' (which means 'sea') 🫠

Could your partner be legitimizing their own decisions by saying "it will affect the child's life"? It might also be an issue of not leaving room for your opinion, rather than indecisiveness about the name.

It's all personal preference. A child naturally shapes their personality as they grow, based on their name. There's no scientific basis; let's be realistic.
