Need suggestions! Hubby and I can't agree on any names!

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m], our baby girl could be born any day now and my hubby and I can’t seem to agree on any names! We both seem to have completely different tastes when it comes to names, thus why we can’t agree… So if any one could provide name suggestions that would be great as I seem to have exhausted my internet searching skills on names!

[name_f]My[/name_f] hubby likes names like, [name_u]Nikita[/name_u], [name_f]Makayla[/name_f] and [name_f]Tori[/name_f], whereas I like more pretty girly names like [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] (although [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is too common a name for us to use)

The names that we both think are ok but not 100% on are:

  • [name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Luciella[/name_f] (I like don’t mind this name but not a huge fan of [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] and know it would just end up being called [name_f]Lucy[/name_f])

We would also both after an uncommon name, so any help or suggestions you could give us would be great!
Thanks!

It sounds like you want a long, semi-frilly name with a snappy, modern nickname option for your husband to use.

Ideas:

[name_f]Alexandria[/name_f] nn [name_u]Alex[/name_u]
[name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cassie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Emme[/name_f] or [name_f]Emmy[/name_f]
[name_f]Isadora[/name_f] nn [name_u]Izzy[/name_u] or [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u] or [name_f]Nell[/name_f]/[name_f]Nellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] nn [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]

Or possibly something that’s kind of a happy medium, like…

[name_f]Amara[/name_f]
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]

[name_f]Enna[/name_f] is pretty! It means [name_m]Light[/name_m] Bringer and is a variant of [name_f]Anna[/name_f]. It could also be spelled as [name_f]Ena[/name_f]. Laileth is a good one, meaning laughter (pronounced LAY-lihth).
Also Trynian or [name_f]Trinity[/name_f] would be pretty. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for your suggestions, please keep them coming! I won’t be able to discuss these with my hubby till he comes home from work tonight, but so far I like ‘[name_f]Elodie[/name_f], [name_f]Mariella[/name_f], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] and [name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]’. However we have family named [name_f]Mariella[/name_f] and [name_f]Eleni[/name_f] so won’t be able to add those to my list.

I welcome any more new suggestions! Thanks :slight_smile:

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f]. Here a few suggestions (sorry for any repeats):

[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ana[/name_f], [name_f]Natasha[/name_f], [name_u]Stacy[/name_u] (I would pronounce this [name_m]Ah[/name_m]-na-stah-see-ah with five syllables)
[name_u]Calypso[/name_u] nn [name_f]Callie[/name_f]
[name_f]Christabel[/name_f] nn [name_u]Christy[/name_u], [name_f]Bel[/name_f] (has the same -belle ending as [name_f]Isabella[/name_f])
Ciprianna nn [name_f]Pippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Bellatrix[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bella[/name_f], [name_f]Trixie[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisabetta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
[name_f]Ekaterina[/name_f] nn [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] nn [name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gen[/name_f], [name_f]Jenny[/name_f]
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f] nn [name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_f]Rhiannon[/name_f]
[name_f]Violetta[/name_f] nn [name_f]Vi[/name_f]
[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f]

You could also do [name_f]Stella[/name_f] [name_f]Maris[/name_f], which I think is a beautiful epithet of [name_f]Mary[/name_f].
