We really struggle to find common ground for a boy name due September. She likes names from the very beginning of the 20th century while I just can't fathom calling my son an old man name.
Systematically, any name I'm found of, she hates and vice versa.
What helped you guys to find common ground?
We went through a long list of popular names. We both had veto power for any name, for any reason.
We took the remaining names and ranked them according to preference (I think giving them a 1-4).
We took the overlapping 1s, and ranked them according to preference separately, and then came together to see what was highest on both lists.
A bit much, but it was fair, and we both had equal say.
