Naming Your Children
Soon after a wedding, many couples decide to have kids. The decision sometimes doesn’t come easy as one of the partners may want to have kids later in life. The subject of having kids - when and how many - should definitely be discussed prior to the wedding. You need to make sure you both share the same feelings on this important topic.
If one of you do not even want kids, and having kids is important to you, your significant other may not be as “significant” anymore. But if you both do want kids, you have to both agree on when.
Naming your child is also something you both have to come to an agreement on. Many couples argue over what the names of their kids should be. You may wish to name your child after your uncle Ben who you look up to, but your wife may want to name him after her grandfather who was a role model to her.
Therefore, it’s best to sit down and decide together. My husband and I decided to write down 10 names that we both liked and compared our list. If there was a match, that was the name. If there was more than two matches, we’ll take a vote between all of our family members. We thought it would be fun to get the entire family involved.
Did you and your significant other talk about kids before you got married? And if you already have kids, how did you come up with the names(s) of your kid(s)?
