Anyone named their kids names they don't particularly like??

charlotte and isabelle work well together

Can't use Isabelle, our surname begins with Bell lol And it is too common for me now.


Smiles - Yep, same here, Imogen is one I could warm to.

Imogen was on our shortlist for a while. It could grow on you. I was thinking Immy or Gen for short.

I know a lovely little girl called Chloe. She's a really girly girl

I dont like Chloe... it was going to be a middle name but so over it.

I LOVE IMOGEN though (mog ) I think it sits really well with Charlotte. They are both a bit old fashioned, or classic (though charlotte is pretty popular I guess).

Ive loved it forever but DH hates it..

As for the actually question... Alexander was a 'fall back'. We could not decide on anything else so Alexander it was and it suits him sso well now I wouldnt call him anything else.

I think Cordelia is better than Imogen.

[YoYo]

I like Imogen It goes well with charlotte...but I also know a sweet sweet chloe!

I guess DD's name wasn't really on my radar at all, I had my girls name picked out years ago, but DH wouldn't have a bar of it....Darcie was the only name we both had on our lists....I even had a cat named d'arcy once!!!

[Isadora]

I think you both need to love the name. I think Imogen is a beautiful name, actually its on our very short list too

[Crystalwings]

Funny you say that about Chloe. A close family member named her daughter Chloe cause it was all her and her partner could agree on and she still hates it. It doesn't suit them as people to have a daughter called Chloe and it would really suck to regret naming a baby something 7 years later.

Like others i agree that Imogen goes well with Charlotte.

I love Imogen, on it's own or with Charlotte.

Pie's name came from Google... I really wanted the name to mean 'promise' and googled it, and it was the first name DH & I both liked. As the pregnancy went on I kind of got a bit 'over it' but couldn't find anything I really loved, so we went with it... it fits her well though I think. I like it better written than out loud

I don't really like either of our boy's names, DH got me when I was all high on hormones & stuff... one reason I chose Pie's while I was PG but they are ok, I can live with them.

Dont give up on finding that "just right" name yet, research, research, research. With #6 i was stressing because we couldnt find that name that gave us that "wow" factor, i trawled baby name sites and looked at movie credits and read everything i could really, then one day, there it was!!

With #1 though, i did find that we had a name we both loved and when she was born, every time i looked at her i kept thinking she was Rebekah (shes Ebonee), for about a month i struggled to call her Ebonee because the rebekah feeling was so strong but DH wouldnt change her name. So it can work both ways, u think u have the right name and they are born and they totally suit another name.

I say go in with a list, even if it takes you several days to name her, her name will come to you
