Are you and your partner in sync about names?

Updated Wed Oct 06 2010

The question of the week: Are you and your partner in sync when it comes to baby names?

Do you have the same general style? How would you describe it?

Do you disagree on specific names? For what reasons? Hate by association?

How do you resolve your differences? Do you have rules of negotiation? Does one partner have more influence than the other? Has one of you succeeded in persuading the other to go with their choice?

Have your name discussions shown you something about your partner that you hadn’t seen before?
