The bright side here: there is a middle ground! Both [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Mckenna[/name_f] are 3 syllable names that are more modern or on trend. Both quite familiar names. Both have nicknames. Both share a prominent -n- sound. [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]/lyn is more classical, tho. So maybe…

[name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Annika[/name_f]
[name_f]Arianna[/name_f]
[name_u]Delaney[/name_u]*
[name_f]Elaina[/name_f]*
[name_f]Emmalyn[/name_f]*
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_u]Julianne[/name_u]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Madelyn[/name_f]*
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]*
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]*
[name_f]Natalya[/name_f]*
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]

I starred the ones that I think have the best mixture of the the timeless yet darling [name_f]Adelyn[/name_f] and the modern, catchy [name_f]Mckenna[/name_f].

First they need to figure out what about their pick is it that makes them love it. Is it the [name_u]Lynn[/name_u] ending or the [name_f]Addie[/name_f] nickname that sells it for her? Or something else? What about his, does he like the Mc part or the strong K sound or that it ends in an a? Something else?

Then what is it about the others pick do they not prefer? [name_f]Do[/name_f] they dislike what the other likes about their pick ( if he dislikes the nn addie but that’s what makes her love it, for example) or are they both just not in love with the others pick?

Usually a compromise is easier if you can find the roots of what each person is looking for and avoiding in a name and find a common ground.

I’d even suggest perhaps smooshing the names into like Mckaylin or [name_f]Adelina[/name_f] or something but the spellings could get tricky.

Sounds like an on trend three syllable name with nn potential is what is needed.
