The thing with "made up" names is that they don't tend to age very well, they really do ostracize people to varying extents (all the way into adulthood), and it disconnects them from their family tree...from EVERYONE's family tree...much like made up last names or hyphenation. Kudos to your husband...and you; a strong veto system is the way to get a name that works for everyone. I don't relish talking about them but I have learned miscarriages are FAR more common then let on and don't even necessarily indicate a problem or something you did wrong or could fix.
