Husband refusing my fav name!

So I’ve heard of some ladies just forcing the name that they love on the baby and ignoring the husbands opinion when it mattered the most.

However, I just can’t seem to do that. We have already agreed on a boy’s name and will be finding out the sex shortly {via a super fun gender reveal} however finding the girls name has been so difficult!

We agreed that we would name our child something that has a good nickname and call them by their nickname as they grow… So my obsession is [name]Mila[/name]. Great nickname right? So [name]Camila[/name] is what I pose and would even agree to just call her [name]Mila[/name] because I want it that bad… But the hubby is not buying it… at all… either way… I can’t find a comparable name or even a name we could use as the first name and [name]Mila[/name] as the middle. I need help! What would you do in my situation? I’m sure other Mommy’s out there have had this same problem. Can anyone think of another name that [name]Mila[/name] would be a good nickname for? Or another name comparable? I’m at my wits end!

I will be posting another related post if nobody can help… with my whole list of names I have posed to him that he doesn’t like as well.

*I’m not a Mom…just a name lover right now…:slight_smile: but hope I can help with a suggestion…:wink:

I love the name [name]Mila[/name] too!

[name]How[/name] about [name]Milena[/name]? ([name]Mila[/name] is a nickname for this name originally I believe).

[name]Hope[/name] this helps! Best wishes!!!

[name]Mila[/name] is a nn for [name]Milena[/name] as well. [name]Milena[/name] is [name]Mila[/name] Kunis’ real name.

[name]Jenna[/name] [name]Bush[/name] [name]Hager[/name] just named her daughter [name]Margaret[/name] [name]Laura[/name] and the nn is [name]Mila[/name]. Maybe names with M, L and , A to get to [name]Mila[/name].

[name]Melanie[/name]
[name]Melina[/name]
[name]Malina[/name]
[name]Mary[/name]
[name]Malia[/name]
[name]Amalia[/name]
[name]Michaela[/name]
[name]Mirabella[/name]-- [name]Mira[/name] would work here as well and it’s very close to [name]Mila[/name].
[name]Magnolia[/name]

Of course you could do like the Hagers and have a M fn and L mn

Good [name]Luck[/name]!

Sadly these won’t work because I’ve tried the ones that I thought would suit us best! Tried [name]Milena[/name] -> no go. I even tried Milabella or Milabelle and it was a no go too. I think I’m just going to tell him, if its a girl, it will be [name]Mila[/name] until he can come up with something on his own that we both agree on… I’m throwin’ in the towel! :slight_smile:

Is he opposed to [name]Mila[/name], or just the longer forms you’ve proposed so far?

What about [name]Amelia[/name], nn [name]Mila[/name]?

[name]Emilia[/name]
[name]Emelia[/name]
[name]Amalia[/name]
[name]Amelie[/name]
[name]Milana[/name]
[name]Miley[/name]
[name]Millay[/name] (good literary connection!)
[name]Malia[/name]

[name]Amelia[/name] or [name]Emelia[/name] sound like your husband could go for.

Or just [name]Mila[/name]! I think just [name]Mila[/name] would be good too, since its cute when on a little girl, exotic and sophisticated on an adult.

I second the idea of [name]Amelia[/name].

Here is a random idea to throw out there. [name]How[/name] about [name]Mira[/name]? [name]Mirabelle[/name], [name]Mirabel[/name], and [name]Mirabella[/name] are options for long names. Not sure if there is more though
