DD is Penny Amelia, looking for a sibling name. DF hates all of them but it's tough. His suggestions are Luna, Autumn and Talia but I don't think they go with Penny at all. Anyway here goes;
Penny and Susie
Penny and Sadie
Penny and Rose
Penny and Paige
Penny and Amber
Penny and April
Penny and Hazel


Mn would be Eloise, Elodie, Olivia, Annabelle or April or Amber if not used.

Well if he hates them, then I think you need a new list.

If he liked them, id say Amber

He is a nightmare when it comes to baby names. He likes the 3 names he picked and that's It. He won't consider any other names at all. Won't even look. Won't try out my suggestions. And he doesn't understand when I say that his suggestions do not match our daughters name!!!!!!!!

Tell a lie; he says April and Hazel are 'alright' that's It.

I like Sadie Olivia best from that list BUT I'm not your partner and if he hates them, you can't use them. I hope he starts working with you on this soon.

I like luna best and don't see why it has to 'match' Penny at all?!

I like Susie. It goes well with penny, though tbh, i don't see why it needs to 'go' at all! Susie is really sweet.

Or Sarah with nn as Sadie.....

Or Susanna with nickname Susie.

I went to school with a penny who had a sister called Joanna.

You realise the "matching" thing is a completely arbitrary idea you have in your head? To me some of those names don't go at all, Paige for example seems to me a v serious name compared to Penny and Amber is just v different.

Not saying you should pay the slightest attention to how they sound to me btw, I'm just saying others won't think about that at all.

Fwiw, I like Penny and Susie best. And I think Susie Olivia is lovely. I also his Talia.

What's wrong with Penny and Talia? It is no worse/better really than Penny and Amber surely?

Sorry, I just don't really follow why you think your names "match"?

Looking at the list again I actually really like Hazel too. Hazel Eloise!

Oooh no I think sibsets have to match! Not like, Christian and Christina, or Jenny and Kenny, but match in style. I know a Richard and Zain sibset and It always baffles me. The names are so so different in style, It sits strange with me. Like I would have had Richard and Thomas, 2 strong old fashioned names, or Zain and Lex, 2 new trendy names, for example. That's why I'm not sure on a traditional sweet Penny and brand fire new Luna.

Penny and Sadie or Susie. Susanna is nice if you wanted a "grown up" alternative for formal, and there's nothing wrong with Susan, either.

RiverTam · 26/02/2014 08:26

'sibset'???

Rose
Luna

I don't get that a lot of the names on your list 'go' with Penny?

Babel1111 · 26/02/2014 08:33

If the names on my list don't go with Penny, would you mind posting some suggestions. I understand that our perception of names is totally subjective, and how one person hears a name can be totally different to the next person, but posting on a forum asking the opinions of a diverse group of people will at least get me a general consensus of what people think about the names I like

I quite like Luna and I see it as quite a gentle name. I think the suggestions up thread of Matilda/Tilly and Josephine/Josie are great and really go with Penny. I think from your list Susie goes best.

Why not choose one of each of your lists, like Autumn Rose (very pretty) or Talia Paige, perhaps you will find agreement that way? Otherwise I'd grab a baby name book and every night go through a few pages together, find a new name entirelySmile
