DH and I can't agree. Please help.

[QUOTE=cookiemonster;1794340Bathsheba while you raise a valid point, your name is only what you make of it. If you would judge a woman with the name Kira as young and immature then that is certainly your loss.[/QUOTE]

CM: Given that the OP wasn't keen on the name Kira I thought I could provide an "out" I wasn't passing judgement on the name and certainly didn't say that I would judge a woman with the name Kira as "young and immature" I meant "older" woman when i said "mature". I left it up to her to decide by using the shrugging emoticon. Sorry if you found my comment judgemental... was just my own humble opinion on the name. People given unfavourable opinions on names all the time here in these threads. The names that I have chosen for my own children (mainly my DD) have been commented on as being old fashioned as the kind of name an old lady might have, not a baby But I took that as just that person's opinion and wasn't offended. You are right, you make what you do from a name. The most unlikely names can end up really suiting a person. For example I read the neame "Rebel" on a class list once when I was a teachers' assistant and thought... "hmmm" but after a few days I discovered the name really worked and actually had a nice ring to it.... likewise the name "Sixteen" (for a little girl)... once again I thought "odd" but once I got to know her it just seemed natural to call her that name. So I guess we agree on that point... perhaps not whether members should ever express a negative opinion on a name though hey?

I know it's probably not even relevant - but last night as I lay in bed, I thought of this thread. I thought of the names Sarenna or Sarienna? I'm not sure about the spelling, they were just what popped into my head at the time and the way i've spelt it is how the pronounciation is rolling off my tongue. Like I said, I'm not even sure how relevant those names are to Sienna and Kira. lol. Best of luck!

Its nice to know someone is thinking of me Catherine. Or my thread anyway LOL!

Good luck with the last couple of weeks of your pregnancy and look forward to hearing your arrival announcement. Hope it all goes well for you.

I know how hard it is Megan! We had a similar situation with our last child... and the gender was inconclusive for most of my pregnancy... we had agreed on a boys name but not a girls. I really liked Greta and my DH liked Deborah and neither of us could compromise. So luckily we had a boy! And I even got DH to agree to an unusual middle name, Atticus, which until my DS was born DH wasn't keen on.... but when he arrived DH agreed that it kinda suited him afterall.... so sometimes waiting until the birth can help decide things. And there's no hurry... you have a few weeks to decide after the birth anyhow. But goodluck! it IS such a tricky issue!

[CatherineL]

LOL Megan... The odd things that come out of no where of a pregnant woman's mind huh! Don't stress too much about it though... we can't completely decide on a name either - we're hoping once we see baby a name will stand out. Fingers crossed! lol.

Thank-you for your kind words too. I hope your husband comes around, actually I hope mine does too.

I actually like Kira more than Sienna also. We were going to use Sienna too until it became quite popular!

If you can't agree on either names I would be inclined to drop them both and start fresh and hopefully find something you both like!

Good Luck

Thank you for all of your replies. Unfortunately I think the scrore is about 50/50

I still like Sienna best. And DH likes Kira best.

Im having an ultra sound in a couple weeks, maybe I should just give in and find out the sex so I know for sure if I even need to be concerned about a girls name.

Why does it have to be so hard?

I've been readin all of these to DH so fingers crossed he might come round and give in to me

I love Sienna! It is one of my top 3. It is also very popular at the moment and was rated No 10 last year I think..

Good Luck with your choice!

You are right about the top 10. I just checked (popular baby names in South Australia) and it was number 10. hmmmm. I still like it.
