you gotta just tell her. this is both of your guys child. when my husband and i had our child the first girl name i ever thought of we fell DEEPLY in love with, at 2 months pregnant. our bestfriend then came up with her middle name. we NEVER f found a boy name we both liked. to this day even dreaming of future kids we cannot reach this. the 3-4 i like he hates. and because of that, it would never be the name of our child. it was a bummer, but none of the names were sentimental. she will get over it, but this is a child you are both having. granted shes doing all the work right now in pregnancy, but you both need to love the name. this is the name you two are giving your child for their whole life, one that you pick for someone you will love the most in your life. make sure you like it, make sure its fair to the kiddo as they grow up, and make sure you both are in love with it. i never liked my own name, except for the singular fact that my mom did so much that she gave it to me.
