My husband and I fought tooth and nail over the first 2 names for our kids (we have 3 now.) I would come up with a HUGE list and he would whittle it down to 2 or 3. For our third, he came up with one name and I loved it haha.
So, the more names you see, the better chance of finding one you can agree on!
