Naming Rant

So initially my daughter name was Keri Amira well her dad does not like it anymore and wants to name her Amira whatever. I dont like that as her first name and her first name means alot to me. Its my deceased cousin middle name just spelled differently. I am so close to when we are at the hospital just naming her myself and he just will be pissed the rest of his life. I mean it is still her name just not her first. All my kids have A middle initials and he wants to screw this up. I am not having anymore kids after this and this is my daughter.  I am so sick and tired of going through this. Oh and I even changed the first name to names like Demi and Cali and Cylie (Kylie) and even Carlie and they all were a no to him. He is being a real jerk.

Why can't the baby name be Keri, but he call her by her middle name Amira? The name u both like should be in the name.

Yes he knows how important that name is to me and this is our third kid together I named first he named second on his own with no restrictions so why cant I name our daughter.  I give into alot but not this one and I am getting depressed behind it well just upset not depressed

Sometimes I think husbands feel as though they're left out and that naming is the one thing they can have a say over. My husband picked both my kids names which was absurdly ok with me because I worked with kids and couldn't think of anything I liked.
This time though, we have different opinions so I said '' I have to push it out, put my body through hell so I hold rank'
I have just now realised how disconnected fathers are from the pregnancy. We grow the baby, feel every movement, and don't miss a single thing where the dad is kind of on the outside looking in.
I understand the sentiment behind the name you've chosen, but if my husband and I don't agree on a name or one of us don't like it then we don't use it and think of something else.

Did he ever say why all of a sudden he wants to change the baby's first name? Does he know how important it is to you to name your daughter after your special cousin? And not to mention to keep the tradition of the middle name going?
