I am at a loss… i don’t LOVE any of my names and hubby and i are finding it much harder to be on the same page. Naming our daughter seems so easy in hindsight. Here is my list… anyone want to help me unpack all this… ? Do any combos sound good or standout? full disclosure I am absolutely in love with the name giovanni but hubby says it is out. it is my dream first name… sigh. I still pray every night he will awake from a dream loving it. No dice this far. He loves Michael. I find Michael nice but don’t like any of the nicknames he would obviously have. And overall find it boring. Rules… need First name and 2 middles. Last name is run of the mill Irish last name that starts with M and rhymes with shmurphy.

[name_u]Israel[/name_u] [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] [name_u]Joseph[/name_u] Shmurphy sounds good & you get to use your favorite name without impinging on your husband’s no (assuming it was a no as a first & not a total no).
I’m sorry your husband isn’t on the same page about your favourite name, it’s so disappointing! How does he feel about it in the middle slot? Putting both [name_u]Michael[/name_u] and [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] in the middle feels like a fair compromise, if you can find a combo you’re both happy with.
From your list, I especially love [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m], [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] and [name_u]Roux[/name_u] (I know the last is in your middle list, but I think it’s so cool!)
[name_u]Elijah[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Grey[/name_u] is so charming and fresh! [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_u]Roux[/name_u] is elegant and cool! [name_u]Israel[/name_u] [name_u]Henry[/name_u] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] is lovely too!!
Agree with poster above to push for [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] somewhere at least - you’re having the baby. [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_u]Roux[/name_u] is very cool. [name_u]Roux[/name_u] is the standout middle name. I like [name_u]Gabriel[/name_u]. +1 for [name_m]Rafael[/name_m].
It gives you options from the top contender first name with the name you love and the name your husband loves! I like [name_u]Elijah[/name_u] and [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] for you because they both can be shortened to 3 letter nicknames
thanks for some great input! He was ok with [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] as a middle a few months ago then seemed to ban it completely from the options. I think [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] Michael/ [name_u]Michael[/name_u] [name_m]Giovanni[/name_m] is a great compromise. Oh I forgot he currently loves [name_m]Philip[/name_m] too! I like philip… not ok with phil, he likes the nickname [name_u]Pip[/name_u]. I love [name_u]Roux[/name_u], one because my daughter’s middle name is [name_f]Margaux[/name_f]. So i think it would be best to have the little X connect. And we call her olive so keeping with color themes. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the ideas.
