Need new ideas for my husband

Girl Names
1

So my husbands new hobby is to veto or just say maybe to my name ideas. We’re still looking for a yes. I’d love to use [name_u]Gray[/name_u] or [name_f]Mae[/name_f] as a middle name to honor my grandparents / grandmother. As I posted yesterday my newest ideas were [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f], [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] and [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]. He wasn’t too impressed, said maybe to [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] but hates [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]. Help me think of some new ideas! So far:

[name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] (he loves the nn [name_u]Rae[/name_u] so he may say yes)
[name_f]Elise[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
Emery Gray
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (he likes [name_u]Penny[/name_u])
[name_f]Hailey[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Lauren[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Hannah[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] (I’m guessing this will be a no)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]

My first thought was to use a [name_f]Mae[/name_f] name such as [name_f]Maya[/name_f], [name_f]Mabel[/name_f], [name_f]Amaya[/name_f] etc. & pair it with [name_u]Gray[/name_u]/[name_f]Grayce[/name_f]/[name_f]Grace[/name_f] so that you could honour both at the same time.

Some other ideas:
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] / [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]

[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (if he likes [name_u]Penny[/name_u] a lot)
[name_u]Allison[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] (can lead to the cute nn [name_u]Allie[/name_u])
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]

Oh my gosh! Your husband sounds just like my husband!! I swear, if it were up to me and my girlfriends we’d have no problem naming this baby! But he keeps saying no to anything I like, even when HE may have been the one to come up with the name a few days ago….Seems like as soon I’m on board he’s off.

Anyway, just wanted to chime in that I feel you, and also that I love [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] so I hope his maybe turns to a yes! Good luck. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps! :slight_smile:
