For those singles who DO still want children (and please don't get into a debate about that, or start posting to us how should feel otherwise...I figure God gives us desires for a reason...and has us keep them for a reason), or more children as the case may be, do you ever think about making sure a potential spouse has similar taste in names as you? I have very definite favorites, so I do think about that actually.

It's good to have a list of names you like but names are a funny thing. M and I worked for months to narrow the list down to four or so names for the Girl. One night about 2 days before she was born M elbowed me (I was bruised a lot  ) and said the Girl's name. It fit perfectly but it wasn't on the list and we never considered it before. But it was right and it is now her name.

I've never thought about it really as something to look for in a wife. I figure there's a lot of names available out there and chances are you can find at least one that you both like.
agreed, seems kinda awkward/creepy to ask on early dates if they'd allow names x, y, and z. and on later dates, i wonder if anyone has broken up with someone they really liked because their boyfriend/girlfriend didn't like a name.

Interesting question. No, I haven't thought about that. I have a few names, but I figured that we'd be able to decide on names together. If we are stuck, maybe one of us could pick the first name and the other the middle name.

I've thought about it before.
If they're willing to compromise on names, that's fine, I know I'll probably have to compromise some of my favorite names (had to with my first two). However, if they absolutely refuse to accept anything other than their choice.. no, a relationship would go no further. Probably also mean they would never compromise much else either.

Well, I had the opportunity to be a sky nanny for about 2,5years and at times had a lot of infants and kids onboard the plane. Depending on the length of the flight, I had to check if some kids wanted to eat after take-off or with their parents and so you start off with introducing yourself and asking for the names of the children... A lot of names I barely understood so I wrote something that sounded like it on my kiddie form (form to remember where which kid what seated and any special meals). This was mainly cause they came from Asia and their given name is much longer than I'm used to. But I have come across some nice names and some I'd considere for my future babies. But if my future husband doesn't like the name, it would be ok. It wouldn't be a dealbreaker. In the end, it has to be a name we both like. It's a compromise. Sometimes both of you agree at a very early stage in the pregnancy about a name and sometimes it comes to you at the last minute.

My cousin and her husband disagreed on names for their son. He wanted to name his boy "Santino" and call him Sonny. She thought they could call him Sonny no matter what his name and that it just doesn't fit with their family ....Tara, Joe, Audrey and SANTINO.
They compromised and named the little guy Maddox Santino.

I haven't dwelt upon names through most of my years. It's funny because when I have tossed names around, they've always been girl names (perhaps I had the idea that I'd let a hubby have a say in the boys names).
The only name I have picked out (for a girl) is Madalynne Michele. A combination of my late grandma's and mom's names....two ladies in my life that have been an awesome gift.
And as far as potential spouse agreement, I am not concerned. I could be flexible if there was a name that he really wanted. Perhaps the more important question would be whether there would be kids in the first place! LOL

I'm not too picky about names but I hope my future wife will allow me to name our first child after either my father or mother whatever the case may be.

I would like to name a son Henry after my grandfather, and I'd certainly like to avoid anything overly trendy, but apart from that I'm flexible.
