I think wellyes has some good points. Are you more worried about your DH picking a name you don't like for the mn or are you more worried about him complaining about your choice of first names? Any chance he would insist on calling the LO by the mn he chose rather than the fn you chose? If it was a mn to just go on the birth certificate/ be used infrequently I would probably go for the deal knowing how my DH operates. I guess it depends on what you think your DH is up to with this deal. Being agreeable/ trying to come up with a solution or trying to slip a name that you would never, ever consent to by you?
