well he is your son too, and i think that you should have a choice in what his name is.

 you should try to work it out, ayden is a decient name. A compromise you could...if she's naming this one say your naming the next one and your last child you could choose together. Or tell her your not comfortable with that name and choose a few names together.

When me and my bf had to name our baby we just compromised and that is what ya'll will have to do that is the bottom line. It is your child and you should have a say in what he is called I personally don't think there is anything wrong with Ayden as long as it is a strong name then anything you pick should be great. Why not come up with five names each and put them in a hat and you both pick one and then choose from those two. You could always go with a bible name that way you can't go wrong. Now and days the names you listed are often chosen, encourage her to try to be more original instead of falling into the what is in trap and I am sure then you will be able to agree.
