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!
I’m not keen on Serena, would definitely be Seren.
I do like Imogen/Immy/Ginny BUT I associate the name with someone from school and it’s not a great association so I think it might rule it out. It’s one to think about though.
Lotta is sweet but I think too much the same vibe as Etta for DH!
I’m back 37 weeks now and still not quite there with the name.
Of the names on this thread we are still going with Seren Isobel as a main contender. But have also added Elle into the mix which we both love. The trouble is we only have a one syllable surname too and I’m just not sure whether it’s enough. I’ve gone through all the possibilities of names that can be shortened to Elle and can’t find any I like!
What do people think of Elle? And do you have any middle name suggestions (ones that contain maybe 3 syllables) to break the short first and last names up?
I quite like Elle Averi but I don’t know whether I just have pregnancy brain clouding things now
Ps. I like Isobel but really hate Seren sorry. It’s too harsh sounding for my taste and I know it’s meaning but it still sounds like an unfinished version of Serena to me
Love seren isobel. Personally I prefer Ella to elle, that's what we wanted to call our daughter but our son is Sam so it was obviously a big no no so we went with Isabel. Elle georgina Elle amelia Elle could be short for gabrielle
