You browse through thousands of baby girl names and their meanings until your head hurts, make a list of your favorites, and present it to your husband.

He is not impressed. He crosses off every name on your list. To be fair, you don’t like any of his favorites, either.

You’re back at the drawing board. You go through the countless names again and make a new list. He crosses off all except for one, next to which he puts a question mark.
