Hello Berries!
Hubby and I still have not agreed on a name and I need some more input. Wondering if we have already found “the” name and just don’t know it yet! For back ground- I’m white American and DH is Mexican.
Hubby’s list:
[name_f]Constance[/name_f]- I like it but not in love, would be willing to use it as a middle name.
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]- hard no for me. Although I do think the name is pretty but I can not get pass the background of the name.
[name_u]Raven[/name_u]- like it but not in love
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]- only name we can somewhat agree on. I love that it means rainbow and this is our rainbow baby.
My list:
[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]- this has been my favorite name for years and I love all the nicknames you can get from it. One of the meanings I’ve seen is defender and my sons name is defender of men, love that subtle connection. Problem is it just doesn’t feel quite right. But I am worried if I don’t use it I’ll regret it. Hubby isn’t a huge fan but he has not vetoed it.
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f]- you guys suggested this name on my previous post and I love it but sadly DH hates it.
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] or any variation of [name_f]Rose[/name_f]- it’s a 7th generation family tradition on my moms side to name the first born girl [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. Either as a first name or middle name and any variant of [name_f]Rose[/name_f], most people just do [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as a middle name but we also have [name_f]Rosina[/name_f] (the first [name_f]Rose[/name_f] that the tradition started from), [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f], Lokelani(means heavenly [name_f]Rose[/name_f] in Hawaiian). I was uncertain if I wanted to keep with the tradition or not but have decided to use [name_f]Rose[/name_f] somewhere in the name.
[name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]- love it and love the nn [name_f]Esme[/name_f]. [name_u]Love[/name_u] that it means [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] and thats my DH birthstone and was also one of our colors in our wedding, may also be her birthstone if she comes early. DH thinks it sounds too Mexican…
[name_f]Idalia[/name_f]- newer name crush but DH vetoed
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]/ [name_f]Josephina[/name_f]- I love it and would seriously consider it but I hate the pronunciation in Spanish.
I’m just feeling super lost. Nothing is feeling quite right and I feel like I’ve already seen all the names. For the past couple weeks I’ve not thought about names hoping something will eventually click but still feeling lost and getting stressed as the due date nears. Unsure if we should scrap both our list and start fresh or if we already have THE name. Thoughts and input are greatly appreciated!
