Astrid, Miranda, Miriam, Marnie & Cleo all rejected by husband.....need new options!

Girl Names
1

ALL my favourite options for DD2: [name]Astrid[/name], [name]Miranda[/name], [name]Miriam[/name], [name]Marnie[/name] & [name]Cleo[/name], have been rejected by my hubby. I’m trying to find something classic, but not in the top 20/50 most popular (it seems that everything else I like is). The only name we both like is [name]Sophie[/name], but this (& [name]Sophia[/name]) are just tooo popular.

The middle name will most probably be [name]Marianne[/name] (for [name]MIL[/name]) but if the only first name we can agree on doesn’t work with it we will reconsider, could be [name]Mary[/name], [name]Anne[/name], [name]Annie[/name] or other.

DD1, big sister to this bub is [name]Lauren[/name] [name]Rose[/name].

ps. We are in Australia, so the ‘As’ in [name]Astrid[/name] doesn’t have the same meaning here as in the US!

Sorry you’re having a hard time! Also, thanks for sharing that bit of dialect, I had no idea that that basic English word wasn’t in parlance in Australia : D. Perhaps I should move there to use several names I like! By the way I’m not too familiar with popularity in Australia, so sorry if I’ve suggested something too high.

Hmm.

Thanks for your thorough reply Jesba! [name]Plenty[/name] to think about there.

ps. We do have that word here, but we pronounce it the English way, as if it had an ‘r’ in it :-0
