  2. [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]

Wow, I actually really like his style! I think with the exception of [name_f]Monica[/name_f] vs [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] I leaned towards his choices throughout.

Matilda (but to be honest, I don’t really like either.)
Matilda Eve
Eve (So classy and elegant!)
Olive (Again, don’t love either of these.)
Evangeline
Rose (One of my absolute favorites!)
Zelie (But I like Both!)
Rosalind (Love!)
Lara
Phoebe (Don’t love either.)

Wanted to say that all of these are nice names, some are just not my style!

My personal favourites out of each:

Chloe

Charlotte Delilah

Eve (Alice is very sweet though)

Savannah

Evangeline

Rose

Zelie

Emmadine (I think you could use this actually, it’s quite nice!)

Sandy (Lara has a nice ring to it though)

Phoebe

So for the most part, I think my style of names is more similar to yours than to your husband’s haha. I think Savannah Evangeline would make a nice combo. :slight_smile:

Actually, Rosalind is nice too! I think both of your guilty pleasure names are definitely useable!

I think you two will find it quite easy to name a baby together! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: I did lean a little more towards his style, but your choices were lovely as well! Overall, I’m sure both of you will find a compromise isn’t far off :wink:

1: Matilda – a dear favorite of mine!

2: Charlotte Delilah is beautiful! I love the flow, but I find it difficult to turn away my dearest Matilda :two_hearts:

3: Eve! Reminds me of the lovely Eve Plumb, aka “Jan Brady”

4: I’m leaning a bit more towards Savannah!

5: I love both! I do lean a bit more towards Evangeline though

6: Rose most definitely! :hearts:

7: Both are cute, but I’ll go with Zelie!

8: This one was tough, both are gorgeous!

9: Lara

10: I definitely love both, I’ve been cheering for Monica to get more love and attention :heartpulse: but Phoebe is cute as well

I’m agreeing with what some previous posters have said that there is an overlap in your favourites!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites from each question:

  3. [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
  4. [name_f]Savannah[/name_f]
  5. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] (this was a hard one, because I slightly prefer the name [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] over [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f], but I really like the nickname options with Evangeline)
