    Girls Names- DH has no Taste!

    Seriously having trouble finding girls names. DH IMO has NO taste whatsoever. For the love of all things holy he liked Norma Jean and River...and Guinevere We actually had a serious argument over it when we found out because I thought he was joking and he was offended. We haven't discussed it since.
    I don't want really popular names, or anything too out there. I'd just like a list of potentials to take to him....
    The only names I sort of like are Maddison or Summer.
    Please help!
    TIA

    I think Isabella is a beautiful name. Thought if we both had an A and an I id almost have to call my next boy R...
    I would probably avoid Maddison i think its stilll pretty high on the popular list.

    What do you like it a name? Do you want something long that can go short, do you like classic, unique etc...
    Not popular is hard because i think it changes so quickly!!

    Lol! I agree! Except my little sister's name is Isabella- I meant to mention I have to avoid all the 'Bella' names...

    ETA: I'm not really sure what I specifically like in a name...just not a name where potentially 5 other kids in the class would have it! In saying that my 2 DS names are common so

    It seems that your DH seems to prefer old-school names. So maybe starting from a search say, from the 1920s-1950s of names that might be nice for both of you.

    Some that I can think of could include:

    Rose (classic)
    Mabel (dd1 goes to kinder with a Mabel and it really works! i was surprised...)
    Lyla
    Laura
    Audrey
    Vera
    Stella
    Helena
    Anita
    Penny

    I truly wish you guys luck! DH and I had many a fraught moment this time coming up with a name...was so relieved when we came to an agreement lol.

    I think your DH has great taste. Guinevere is a lovely, sophisticated, olde English name.

    I have told you soooo many times!!! Abby. Her name will be Abby.. Although it might be a bit weird when my DS marries a girl with the same name as his mum
