I don't like any girls' names :( she's 5 weeks.

[Designated]

I honestly don't think I can use any. I don't like any. I'm always a bit 'meh' when I hear any suggested.

Grace is my absolute only 'maybe', but I'm still not keen DH said he will use Gray as a NN and I'm so against that.

Maisy is a potential 'maybe', DH would use May as a NN and I'm more accepting of that.

[WanderingTrolley1]

Gracie?

[BakerBear]

Why is your dh so insistent on using a nickname? Why can he not use her actual name?

You have had 9 months to think of names so its not really acceptable for a 5 week old to still be nameless

[Designated]

@BakerBear I don't know, I'm not my husband.

Also, how is that helpful. It clearly is acceptable as you don't have to register until 6 weeks

Gracie is nice.

[PotteringAlong]

Why does she need a name and a nickname? If you're going to call her May, which is a lovely name in its own right, why not just call her May? Especially as Masie is actually short for Margaret.

[RicottaPancakes]

What kind of name do you like?

[MyNameIsNotYourName]

Maisy-Grace 😊

[Idratherhaveacupoftea]

What's this obsession with nicknames. Just give her a lovely short name, there's loads of them.

[Babyonboard101]

I've always loved Jak or Toni for a girl (feminine spellings) but that's just me....

[Berrybakecake1]

Gracie may

Just a suggestion if you don't like girls names why not try a boys name or surname as these tend to be the trend these days.
I've just been introduced to a 10 day baby girl called Perry. I'm not saying I like it but it actually suited her.

[LucyFuckingPevensie]

Faye ? He can't shorten that
Most nn come naturally after a while anyway.

[Trampire]

I have a Lucy. Many find that boring but I like it and so does dd (now 12)

If my ds had been a girl he would have been called Rose.

Any use? It's common as a middle name but I hardly ever hear it as a first name.

I also like -

Penelope (Penny/Pen)
Clementine
Manon
Annie

[IamtheDevilsAvocado]

Eva/ava /eve/evie are lovely names!

[Trampire]

True about nn coming about naturally.

My lucy was called - Luce, Looby Lou, then Loovs and now Loobster 😂

[Trampire]

Sorry Loobs not Loovs. That would be very odd

[leghoul]

Eve
Lucy
Alice
Thea
Sadie
Lily

Agreed.

[leghoul]

OP, it took me weeks and weeks to name DC1 and then I changed it I felt bullied into choosing one I didn't really like and didn't really suit them - once I knew the right name, and knew it suited them, I had no doubts.

[Abetes]

I agree - nicknames come naturally and kids often have different nicknames from family, school friends, out of school friends etc.

[leghoul]

Some people decide in pregnancy, some people decide on the day, some people find it really hard - it's a huge responsibility and decision to make. Don't feel bad OP. But your DD does need a name and please do not let nicknames influence your decision.
