Almost 34 weeks with a baby girl and going round in circles with names. DH is not very good at making suggestions but very good at saying no. We have also tried to involve our DS who is almost 8 but it seems getting 3 people to agree is even harder than 2!
Please can I have opinions on the below and any suggestions for similar sounding ones that we may not have thought of?
Seren Isobel (Ren for nn) - top contender for a while but have been having a wobble the last few days. Remi Isobel (Remi Belle) - worried about it being viewed as a boys name but at the same time still really like it. Emmie - love it but DH doesn’t. Etta - same as above. DH says no way!
Also quite like: Lori Erin Lenna Leni (stolen from another thread)
As you can see we seem to like short and also the ‘emi/eni’ sounds... help me please!
Another vote here for Seren Isabel! If I hadn't already had my name picked I think I would have been discussing that for the list with my OH! Very pretty and unique
@Marlena1 I have thought about Rumi/Romi but I think I prefer the ‘en/em’ sound to ‘um/om’
Thanks @Astronica I do still really like it. Not sure why the slight wobble. Haven’t fully managed to get DS on board as apparently there is a water monster called Serren in his Zelda game 😂
Seren Isobel is so lovely! Think I'd go with this. Though can you see what she looks like when she's born? I know people who have been pretty set on a name but gone for something completely different on meeting the baby.
Well, you both have to agree so rule out the ones your DH doesn't like. I'm with him on Etta, by the way. I wouldn't be involving a sibling in naming a baby, either, it just confuses matters.
I only like Erin, but do love Etta as a nn for Juliet. If ds had been a girl, that's what he would've been called. I don't like it on its own though... don't know why! It seems a bit 'of the moment's, like Betsy, Elsie, Sadie etc. So I think it will date.
@mondler we were thinking we could use Ren as nn for Seren. Also DS loves Remi so to pacify him we said he could use Reni as his nn for her. So Seren does seem to be a good all rounder too!
Agree @DramaAlpaca that we have to agree so it’s likely I have to let Etta go as he really isn’t keen.
