Men often worry about providing for the baby once it's here. In my first birth class we all had to share our biggest fears about having a baby and almost every father said something about providing. It seems to be one of those differences hardwired into the sexes. Talk it out and see if that helps. Not so much a conversation about his feelings, but talk about specific plans like the budget or the division of chores. A lot of men respond well to having a plan, even when it's things you really can't plan for.
I just started on the getting up every 2 hours thing. At least I think it's going to be the case till the end of my pregnancy since I'm 36 weeks and this started a few days ago. Before I could go 3-4 hours. I'm used to getting up at night now so it doesn't bother me as much. The part I hate is getting up at 4 and not being able to go back to sleep even though I don't have to get up till 6.
As far as the name thing, I would stop sharing the names you like. It's your baby with your husband. You get to pick the names, not anyone else. My hubby and I purposefully chose not to tell anyone the names we've chosen. Pregnancy is stressful enough without people's unnecessary opinions.
