Name advice... Please help. I'm kind of hurt :(
We are expecting a boy... It is my first, his second. My dad and grandpop both passed away 11 years ago within a few months of each other and since it is my first I really would love to name him after them. Problem is... My bf hates the name Cliff. I agree it's not the best name out there but it really would mean so much to me. He refuses and wants to name him Lyric. It has no meaning... He just likes music and thinks it's a 'badass' name. He said we could have Cliff as a middle name but I don't want to and am kind of hurt that he doesn't understand how much it means to me. I feel like I have no choice but to have it as a middle name. I carried this baby. I'm giving birth to him. It's his second. Idk what to do Any advice? Yes, we have talked about it. He just says 'sorry but I hate that name.'

I've had to pass on several names that mean something to me because my husband didn't agree on them.
But thats the thing, it is his baby too, yes you are carrying the baby and yes your name means something to you, but just because it is his second baby doesn't make it any less his.
This is one of those times were the two of you have to come up with a compromise.
He at least agreed to have Cliff as a middle name, but maybe the two of you can come up with another name other then Lyric?
Do the nursery up in rock and roll designs.
I was gonna suggest Clifton Lyric as well. I have a buddy named Clifton and he is a skateboarder. He's badass
I think it's feminine too and am scared he would get teased butttt good news! We agreed on one today lol maybe I should have posted this sooner... It seemed to bring good luck! His name is going to be Noah Clifford I love Noah and it is only fair to compromise... I am very happy with our choice, as is he!
@everyone Thank you again for your thoughts!! Like I said... Very appreciated!
My point is, just because the first name is Lyric, doesn't meant you can't call him Cliff. In my experience other people will call the baby what the mom calls it... so give the kid the meaningful name of Cliff, and call him that..then he can decide what he wants to go by!
