HelpRe: The name my husband always wanted vs. My Dream
in reply to a message by Ninor
I agree. Look, I'm a Christian too, but in the few occasions in the Bible where people were told what to name their baby, it was because the name had a specific meaning and the person would have a specific job, of which the parents were told. (John the Baptist and Jesus) Otherwise, he left it up to the parents. Brooklyn doesn't have a very specific meaning, to be honest. Don't give this dream too much meaning. Pick a name you like.

I think op does really like the name Brooklyn though. Her issue isn’t feeling obligated to use it when she doesn’t want to, it’s really really wanting to use it but not being sure how to get her husband on board.
@op, I have no advice on how to have this conversation with your husband but I think using something like Brooklyn Lillian Dawn would be fine. It might be a little awkward sounding or word heavy but I think honoring important people and using names you love trumps the flow issue.
