Our second daughter is due in [name_u]March[/name_u].
I have a dozen sketchbooks with name lists in the back from the age of 12 onwards but when it comes to naming a real life baby, and taking into consideration my husbands tastes and ‘rules’ (grr) I’m stumped. Nothing is making my heart sing and I’m beginning to feel rather frustrated!
So ignoring the names in my previous posts, which names would you suggest to go with daughter [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] [name_f]Alba[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] Br…ne (2 sybs)
Hubby’s rules. Short 1-2 syllable names
No unisex names
He doesn’t see the point of nn’s
Ideally I want something that feels familiar but is a little unusual. He’s fine with top 500… In fact all his suggestions so far have been names that were super popular a few years back ([name_f]Mia[/name_f], [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] etc)

I’m hoping I can bend him on at least one of these rules but for now please suggest anything and everything you think of that fits the DH rule book.
Thanks in advance.

I think a good sibling name with [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] is [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and it has the bit of uniqueness you are looking for.

I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] is a good suggestion. [name_u]Wren[/name_u] might be too modern for him but I like it a lot. What about [name_f]Collette[/name_f]? It has the [name_m]French[/name_m] feel of [name_f]Chloe[/name_f] but a little bit of the spunk of [name_f]Mia[/name_f]. [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Zoe[/name_f]? I love the sibset of [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] and [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] or [name_f]Zoey[/name_f] if you like the “y”.

What do you think?

Wow thanks for all your replys there are heaps of names I quite like but have ruled out for various reasons, like Fay (the surname of an ex, damn it cause it’s so sweet), Elsa, daisy, Lida/Leda, and Silvie. some like Mae, Arden, Neve, Zara, Cleo/Cleo I considered for this pregnacy or during the last, but They seemed to loose there sparkle after a while. but it’s good to know people think they work with [name_f]Ayla[/name_f]. It may be worth reconsidering a few. There’s still nothing I’ve fallen head over heals with but that didn’t happen with the names we had for [name_f]Ayla[/name_f] either so maybe I need to take a breath and see what grows on me. I still have till March but I guess you kinda hope you’ll find ‘the one’ before the baby arrives and the midwifes asking you what to write in the forms!! :slight_smile:
Thank you so much for all your help.
