This is the situation, my boyfriend and his dad have the same name and He wants to name the baby the same name as they have. I do not like that at all. I tried reasoning with him to be open to options so we can both agree on a name, but he is really stuck on naming the kid after him.

He is so stuck on naming him that that he called me yesterday and told me that I have 2 options

(mind this I’m not living with him, I am still living with my parents due to college being closer to where my parents live. (I’m 18 and he is 21)

1. For me to choose the name myself and he’ll have my last name as well but he’s not going to be in the babies life or mine because he doesn’t want to be a part of my life or the baby if I don’t name the baby after him.

2. Me agreeing to name him what he wants and he gets to have his last name and he will be a part of mine and the babies life.

To me this is dumb but I know people have different view points so I wanted to see what you guys had to say. Maybe you guys will reply and help me out

I know I could just agree and tell him okay fine I’ll name him the name you want and the argument will be over. But I want to also be happy with the name of my baby. I really want both of us to be happy but I guess it is not going to work like that. I find what he asked me very manipulative though we have been dating for 3 years now and I would have never expected him to ever put me in a situation like that. That is my opinion so you guys can kind of see what option I am going for. If he’s going that far to basically end it with me just because of a NAME then I don’t know if I want to be with someone like that.

I am going back and forth between the options, I can see both of our point of views. But I am having trouble deciding. please help
