Basically DH and I can't agree on anything and it's doing my head in . Baby due in 7 weeks and I want to enjoy thinking about names but it's just becoming a tedious circular conversation and I just can't imagine what name DD is going to end up with. I need your help! I'll list all the names we each like but have vetoed from each other for various reasons so you can get an idea of our taste. There are are a few that we both like but neither of us love and I feel sad about giving her a compromise name that I just don't adore, as does DH. I'm worried I'll regret it. Hoping you can give me some ideas we haven't thought of.... or persuade me that one of the names is just the ticket
So, names I love are:
Rosa - DS is Ruben, is it weird to have them starting with same letter?
Stella - DH hates
Meg - sounds ridiculous with surname
Bay - well, he agrees with most of the Mners on that one!
Hebe - DH thinks it's weird
DH loves:
Eva - too popular IMO, or at least going that way
Nadia - I don't like that you don't know whether to say Na-dia or Naaaahhh-dia
Bella - One already in my family
We both quite like:
Carla
Julia
Layla (sometimes it makes me think Persian princess, othertimes I think its a bit dated and chavvy)
Other criteria, it has to sound okay with Ruben and surname starts with M and rhymes with Kapookee! So no names ending with ie sound, Rosie, Lily etc.And def not Mary!
Sorry for such long post. I eagerly await your verdict!
