Struggling with a girls name!!

[mellys bubby belly]

Hi guys,

Just after your opinions...

Hubby and I have had no dramas picking a boy's name, in fact we knew what we wanted before we were even married (yep sounds weird, but it was just one of those random conversations)

But...when it comes to naming a girl, things have been a lot harder. I have picked heaps of names and there have been heaps that hubby has knocked back (which I don't mind) but when I ask him for some suggestions, he's not very forthcoming. Im not sure if it's coz he's hoping we're having a boy, even tho I know he'll be stoked whateva it is

But it means that the few girls names he has suggested, i have felt really bad knocking them back coz i don't want him to lose interest. He has said a few times that he is happy for me to 'just pick a name' but i really don't want him to be stuck with a girls name that he hates

Any suggestions, or can anyone commiserate (sp?) with me?

Just some random suggestions- maybe he'll find something he likes.

Ada, Alison, Anneliese, Arielle, Aurelia, Aviva, Beatrix, Bronwen, Calista, Camila, Catalina, Chiara (kee-ahr-uh), Christabel, Clara, Cleone (clee-oh-nee), Cora, Demelza, Eliana, Estella, Eve, Faye, Fiona, Gabriella, Gillian, Gwen, Helena, Iris, Isis, Jocasta, Judith, June, Kira, Lilia, Lisela, Lydia, Madeleine, Mariska, Miranda, Nadia, Nerissa, Rosabel, Rosalie, Rosemarie, Roxane, Selina, Skye, Sophie, Sylvie, Z?lie

What were his/your suggestions maybe we can think of some combination...
Any middle name picked out?
My fav girls names lately are Cassidy and Campbell. I know Campbell is usually thought of as a boys name but so is Charlie and there are loads of little girls with the name

I would be so happy if DH told me to just choose a name! lol

What names has he suggested that you dont like? Which ones do you like?
Traditional, Trendy, different, uncommon?

Thanks for your feedback!! I think we may have had the break-through conversation over the weekend and we now seem to have a girl's name that we agree on :woohoo:

Now I've just gotta hope that when bub pops out, we don't think "Wait on, she doesn't look like a *insert name here*" coz then we'll be back to scratch

[leesha]

What about Evie, Lilly, Dahlia, Ruby, Ellorah, Quinn, Layla, Nadia, Peony, Jemima....just a few!
I know how hard it is to pick a name but my hubby and I were the opposite...we had a girls name and couldn't pick a boys name!!!

First of all, I think it's great your DH obviously trusts you enough with the big decision of the name! How sweet!

What about if you just do up a small list - say 3 names first and middle- that you like, and leave it up to him when your baby is born? That way you'll both have input in the name game...

[Mumtobe123]

What names do you like?

[Hopeosh]

How about suggesting a family name (mother, sister, grandmother) from DH's family?

Wow thanks so much for all your suggestions!! I think we've finally picked it...

Sienna Belle

I adore Sienna, and Belle was hubby's choice so it's really starting to grow on me.

I'm not sure whether we need to think of a backup - we haven't bothered for a boy's name coz we're adamant that we know what we want. But I just can't imagine looking at a new bubb and thinking that it did or didn't look like a particular name, however people keep saying that it does happen... *sigh* this pregnancy business is complicated
