Need help naming our daughter!

[lindseyne]

I’ve never posted but have come to love this site the past few months and really could use some help! I’m due with our first baby, a girl, in 2 weeks, and my husband and I cannot agree on a name. The only name that I have found that I absolutely [name]LOVE[/name] is [name]Nora[/name], but my husband does not like it. He loves [name]Audrey[/name], but it just doesn’t feel right to me. Some other names that I really like are:

[name]Eloise[/name]

[name]Amelia[/name]

[name]Iris[/name]

[name]Harper[/name]

[name]Ruby[/name] (love this one but husband says definitely “No”)

[name]Louisa[/name]

We actually both like [name]Harper[/name] but are worried it doesn’t flow well with our last name which rhymes with “broker”. What do you think?

Also - what are you thoughts on the others? Any other suggestions? I thought naming this baby would be so much fun but my husband is not cooperating and it’s driving me crazy!

Thanks all

If your husband isn’t into [name]Nora[/name], what about [name]Eleanora[/name]?

On your list I like [name]Eloise[/name] and [name]Louisa[/name] the best, but they are all nice classic names. Here are some others you might like:

[name]Adaline[/name]
[name]Daphne[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Hope[/name]
[name]Vera[/name]

For me, [name]Harper[/name] Broker would just sound wrong. I think it could be a nice middle name though:

[name]Eloise[/name] [name]Harper[/name] Broker

Good [name]Luck[/name]!

[x3kissdontkill]

I don’t think it’s bad with broker.
If you really love it just go for it.

I absolutely adore all of your names except [name]Harper[/name]. It’s a surname, not to mention a super trendy one, and really doesn’t go with your surname. I love [name]Iris[/name], [name]Eloise[/name], and [name]Louisa[/name]!

[name]Hi[/name] there!

[name]Eloise[/name]: I love [name]Eloise[/name] so much, and think it’s great with your last name.

[name]Amelia[/name]: I think it’s beautiful…

[name]Iris[/name]: I love it, but think that some of your other names work better with your last name.

[name]Harper[/name]: [name]Harper[/name] is quite trendy and very different in style from the other names on your list. Because it shares your last name’s ending, I think some of your other names work better with Broker.

[name]Ruby[/name]: I think it’s very sweet, but too B heavy with your last name.

[name]Louisa[/name]: I [name]LOVE[/name] this name, and think it’s great with your last name.

My favorites: [name]Eloise[/name], [name]Louisa[/name], and [name]Amelia[/name].

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone. We spent quite a while talking about it this weekend and I think we’ve decided on either [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Fable[/name] or [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Wren[/name].

Thanks again!

I love the name [name]Amelia[/name], I think it’s gorgeous. [name]Eloise[/name] is pretty, but a little too snobbish sounding for my taste.

If you love [name]Nora[/name] and he likes [name]Audrey[/name], why not [name]Audra[/name]? It’s a mix of both names, and could be a nice compromise for you.
[name]Iris[/name] is gorgeous, I love that. You guys might also like [name]Violet[/name]?

I’m sorry, I can’t come up with any great suggestions right now, [name]Audra[/name] is the only one that really stuck out in my mind. But the other ladies that answered have some really good suggestions.
Good luck!

[aife]

I would go for [name]Louisa[/name] or [name]Emilia[/name] (similar to but much nicer than [name]Amelia[/name] [name]IMO[/name]).[name]Harper[/name] is also a really great name.I am from [name]Ireland[/name] where [name]Nora[/name] probably originated and to me it is a really old persons name I know one of 82 years and a 43 year old with the name and I never much liked it,but of course it’s probably one of those names that is coming back witha new lease of life.[name]How[/name] about [name]Cora[/name], its much nicer I think.Good luck.

[thebabynamer]

I [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Harper[/name] too but if you are worried about it not flowing well with your last name “Broker” how about the name [name]Haven[/name] instead?

[gwensmom]

I love your choice of [name]Eloise[/name]! [name]Eloise[/name] [name]Wren[/name] would be my pick for middles, but either of your options are nice.

Good luck!
