The pressure is unreal...need help! (post is a bit long, it's a bit personal)

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone…I’m going to start off by saying sorry for my indecisiveness and rambling.

Hubby and I are expecting our 3rd and final baby…it’s a girl! She will be the lil sister to 2 older brothers [name_u]Jaden[/name_u] and [name_m]Julian[/name_m].

Hubby and I have different taste and styles when it comes to choosing names so we’ve hit a bit of a major name road block!

Hubby names…
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] and [name_f]Karina[/name_f] (I have to be honest I do like this name ;)) I think I’m forgetting one other :oops:

My names…
[name_u]Pen[/name_u]élope, [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f].

I’m also open for other suggestions.

What do we do?! Please help!

Thank you in advance.

Is there any desire to continue with a first initial J as you other two children? I’m assuming not since [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is the only J name listed. All the names hubby and yours sound great. [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] are likely the two most popular so if that was a concern of too many kids in class with the same name then maybe take those two out…

Well, do what you did with your first two children! Maybe vote for each name, or really go into the reasonings why either of you dislike certain names. From your lists I love [name_f]Natalia[/name_f], [name_f]Karina[/name_f], [name_f]Delilah[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]! [name_f]Karina[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] sounds so sweet! [name_f]Karina[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is my serious favorite haha. Here’s a little list for some inspiration:

[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Eleanora[/name_f]/[name_f]Elinor[/name_f]/[name_f]Nora[/name_f]
[name_f]Samara[/name_f]
[name_f]Catalina[/name_f]
[name_f]Katarina[/name_f]
[name_f]Trinity[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

Since your husband seems to like names that end in ‘a,’ how does he feel about [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Dinah[/name_f]?

Or maybe you could combine your choice name with his choice name for first and middle name?

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] or [name_f]Karina[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]?

Oh, come on, this post isn’t even that long! Lol

I love every name your husband likes! From yours I love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]. [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Emma[/name_f] are pretty, too =]

I would say combine your names, plus variants on them. Like maybe these combos:

[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] Karise
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] [name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f] [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Karina[/name_f] [name_f]Emmaline[/name_f]

[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] Emara (I think I prefer [name_f]Amara[/name_f] though haha)
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] [name_f]Emily[/name_f] (or [name_u]Emery[/name_u] is great!)
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Natalia[/name_f] [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]

What do you think? =P
If you prefer some new suggestions, I can offer some of those, as well.

Are you looking to continue the J trend that you’ve started??

[name_f]Jade[/name_f], [name_m]Julian[/name_m], and…
[name_u]Jackie[/name_u]
[name_f]Janelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_u]Jamie[/name_u]
[name_f]Joy[/name_f]

If not try these compromises…
[name_u]Pen[/name_u]élope - [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_f]Pia[/name_f], [name_f]Paula[/name_f]
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] - [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Deanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] - [name_f]Luna[/name_f], [name_f]Stella[/name_f], [name_f]Violetta[/name_f], Ottillie, [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Odelle[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] - [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_f]Willa[/name_f], [name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Emma[/name_f] - [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Sonia[/name_f], [name_f]Ava[/name_f], [name_f]Clara[/name_f]
[name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] - [name_f]Arletta[/name_f] (nn. [name_u]Arlie[/name_u]/[name_f]Etta[/name_f]), [name_f]Carletta[/name_f] (nn. [name_f]Carlie[/name_f]/[name_f]Etta[/name_f]), [name_f]Lauretta[/name_f] ([name_f]Laura[/name_f]/[name_f]Etta[/name_f])

I like the idea of continuing the J trend. [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] works for that, but also:

[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Julissa[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Jessamine[/name_f]
[name_f]Joely[/name_f]
[name_f]Jolene[/name_f]
[name_f]Joelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]

I don’t actually think your and your husband’s style is so different! You both seem to like feminine 3+ syllable names. Other ideas:

[name_f]Corinna[/name_f]
[name_f]Gisella[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
