We have an appointment to register our daughters birth at 3pm.
Still can't decide on a name.

Trouble is, you just can't MAKE yourself like a name if you don't.

So far have:
Sophie Elizabeth
Emily Grace
Katie Elizabeth
but I don't LOVE any of them.

There are plenty of other names I like, but DH doesn't.

Daughter is just over 3wks old and DH and I just can't seem to agree on anything.

I sat crying about it last night as I know I'll just give in and agree to something I don't really like which makes me so sad.

Here are the Top 100 baby names from 2007 in case it helps with any more ideas. I'm suggesting it because I noticed that the names you've chosen so far are in the top 100.

Tess Elizabeth
Lydia Grace
Thea Emily
Emilia Grace
Matilda Kate
Kitty Elizabeth
Beatrice Kate
Emma Kate

Go for Phoebe. We did this - a completely last minute name and now we love it.
Otherwise I would cancel the appointment for a couple of weeks. But also ime (I compromised on names each time) you are very likely to come to love the name anyway as it is attached to your dd.

You should cancel. And set yourself a deadline to pick a name.

My DH and I picked a name by writing a shortlist separately and there was only one name that matched. We had tried talking about it, but it became frustrating as we each just made funny faces at the other's suggestions!!

dd4 is Sophie Emily

StealthPolarBear · 20/07/2010 13:16

What do you love? What kinds of things do you love? DH?

StealthPolarBear · 20/07/2010 13:16

Alice?

moaningminniewhingesagain · 20/07/2010 13:15

Ah, you've got 6 weeks altogether. I would cancel the appt and go when you have decided.

How many syllables in the surname?

dustycups · 20/07/2010 13:15

dustycups · 20/07/2010 13:15

and yes, I could put the appointment off, but I don't think having more time would make us any more likely to agree on something.
