Help me expand my girls list! (DH has rejected a new batch)

Girl Names
1

As per usual I am always searching for new names to add to my list as DH is notorious for rejecting EVERYTHING!!!

He will even agree to a name… then the next time I mention it he says… mmm NO I dont like it anymore!
He will also sometimes say no and then I metion it again or reference a t.v/book with the name and he says YES… anyways…

Here are his recent rejects or re-rejects!LOL…

Magadaen/[name]Magdalena[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name]
[name]Dorothy[/name]/[name]Dorothea[/name] nn [name]Dot[/name]
[name]Felicity[/name]
[name]Ramona[/name]
[name]Lucille[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]
[name]Alma[/name]
[name]Cora[/name]

Name he DOES agree to ( at least for now)

[name]Fiona[/name]
[name]Mila[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]
[name]Eleanora[/name]

Any suggestion that would go with the names here??? He is driving me CRAZY!!! ( no names beginning with J or G)

Thanks so much!

I wonder whether you could revamp [name]Felicity[/name] into [name]Felicia[/name]? he seems to like ‘a’ endings.

3

[name]Fiona[/name], [name]Mila[/name], [name]Bridget[/name] and [name]Eleonora[/name] are quite diverse. It’s hard to think of immediate similarities. Hmm… perhaps he thinks your choices are too ‘old-lady?’

[name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Calla[/name]
[name]Serena[/name]
[name]Theodosia[/name]
[name]Charis[/name]
[name]Gianna[/name]
[name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Tessa[/name]/ [name]Therese[/name]
[name]Maren[/name] / [name]Marin[/name] / [name]Merryn[/name]

I like [name]Mila[/name] a lot. What about something like

[name]Mila[/name] [name]Aurelia[/name] [name]Eve[/name]
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Eleanora[/name]
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Mila[/name] [name]Bridget[/name]

You say he likes references to television and movies? What kinds? Who are some of his favorite characters? Maybe there is some inspiration to be found there?

5

He usually like things that relate to his favorite actresses, music etc.

He like [name]Bridget[/name] due to bridget [name]Jones[/name]’ Diaries! He like [name]Rene[/name] Zelwigger…

He also like [name]Drew[/name] Barrymore, [name]Uma[/name] [name]Therman[/name] and [name]Winona[/name] [name]Rider[/name]…

He love [name]Jazz[/name] music as well… we considered [name]Etta[/name] (for etta [name]James[/name]) … and we both like [name]Norah[/name] (as in jones)

I prefer Names that DONT end in A as out last name begins with A… though its NOT a deal breaker…

He has very varied taste and doesnt seem to know what he likes… I seem to like Old Lady or Irish(ish)… with boyish or at least unisexish Nicknames…

Any other suggestions?

[name]Una[/name] (not so far from [name]Uma[/name])
[name]Nathalie[/name] ([name]Nora[/name] [name]Jones[/name], [name]Nathalie[/name] Merchant…)
[name]Simone[/name] ([name]Nina[/name])
[name]Wilda[/name] ( “[name]WILL[/name]-dah” as in “[name]Wild[/name] is the Wind” and nickname [name]Billie[/name] as in [name]Holiday[/name])
[name]Dinah[/name] ([name]Washington[/name])
[name]Elisabeth[/name] nn [name]Bessie[/name] ([name]Smith[/name])
[name]Lena[/name] (Horne)

Randomly:
[name]Giselle[/name]
[name]June[/name]
[name]Sabrina[/name]
[name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Francine[/name] (nn [name]Frankie[/name] -Sinatra?)

I like [name]Nathalie[/name] and [name]Lena[/name]… Some of the others dont translate well to spanish ( husbands family are all spanish speaker)

I like [name]June[/name] and [name]Francine[/name] but can’t use for various reasons… I also Like [name]Elisabeth[/name] but it is close to my [name]MIL[/name] name and I prefer not to name a baby after her ( not that I dont love her but I would rather honor someone with a middle name nota first)

I quite like the list of names your husband agrees to… moreso than most of the names on the veto’ed list, actually.
From the veto list, I do love [name]Felicity[/name], [name]Tessa[/name] and [name]Cora[/name], though.

And along the same lines of these:
[name]Fiona[/name]: [name]Violet[/name], [name]Serafina[/name]/ [name]Seraphine[/name], [name]Briony[/name], [name]Finola[/name]
[name]Mila[/name]: [name]Mena[/name]/ [name]Mina[/name], [name]Lila[/name] or [name]Leila[/name], [name]Hania[/name], [name]Silke[/name]/ [name]Cilka[/name], [name]Anya[/name], [name]Maia[/name]
[name]Bridget[/name]: [name]Mallory[/name], [name]Matilda[/name], [name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Eleanora[/name]: [name]Annabel[/name], [name]Amabel[/name], [name]Victoria[/name], [name]Caroline[/name]
