Meagen, my babys momma is still saying that our baby is going to be named Ryland Ivan. She says that its set in stone and there is nothing i can do about it. Fuck that shit. I am naming him and there is nothing SHE can do about THAT. Ryland Ivan is a stupid fucking name and every time I tell someone what it is, they are like "what?" and i gotta repeat it. fuck that dumb shit. She can keep the middle name but ryland has to go. Does anyone know where i can find some legal rammifications or laws regarding this. I dont believe she can just say "this is his name" and i have absolutely no say in it. i need help.
You can look it up and stuff but I don't think you'll have much luck. If a girl can get an abortion without a guy's consent, what makes you think she can't be in charge of the name? Fair? Nah. Maybe your best bet would be to talk nicely to her and try to reach a compromise.
ryland's not really that bad, but the whole unilateral decision making process could be a bad sign for your relationship as co-parents to this child. communication and cooperation are so important.
it dosent matter whether you guys like the name or not. the point is i dont like the name and i feel that i should have the right to not let her name it some stupid shit.
has it occured to you that the more you get, angry about this the more she will probably dig her heels in, she may feel your being unresonable. and I can't believe your calling your unborn baby 'it' S
Honestly I don't think there's anything you can do besides try and reason with her if you dislike the name so much. Can the two of you come to a compromise? Or, make a list of names that you like, and she makes a list of names that she likes, and then you choose from those together?
I think the only way you are going to get anywhere with this person is by staying calm around her. If you show your anger she'll feed off that and dig the knife in deeper. If you act reasonable and show her you would be willing to be civil she just might come around. There is nothing worse then two parents fighting. Your child isn't even born yet and you're in hell. It will take a lot of effort and patience but if you two can reach some agreement your child will thank you for it later. Do you like the name Ray? If your baby is born with Ryland what about you finding something similar not to confuse the baby but something you like? Rae, Riley.
Sorry, Death ol' buddy....but there is absolutely nothing you can do about that. You two are not married, and unless you are, the law does not assume that you are even the father....you will not be allowed to sign the papers. So start thinking of a good nick name you can use for him...how about Rye? Or call him by his middle name, lots of people do that. Ivan is a cool name. Both my dad and my mother-in-law go by their middle names.
There is really nothing you can do. My cousin used the name her husband wanted for their son, but to spite him she gave him (the baby) her maiden name as his last name and there is nothing her husband can do about it.
yeah, you're shit outta luck. she can name the baby whatever she wants. it's emerging from her VAGINA after living in her body for 9 months. you can call him jack all you like, but his legal name is whatever she says it is. even if it's lame. sorry. on a humorous side note, my husband had always wanted to name a daugher Hope Rene. i said "no fucking way." that was that. we then discussed options that were acceptable to both of us. however, there's no reason whatsoever that you can't just call him jack, ivan, booger, whatever. i don't think either tyler or kai had any idea that their names weren't t-bone and booger until they were at least 3.
