pg with dd2 and cannot think of any names that i love, and very few that i like.

have started a thread before on how awful dp's name choices are so am trying to ignore him as much as poss.

the names i don't mind are,

Mia
Amelie
lola
Daisy
Alanna

the only name i would really push for is alanna, but sp's sis went nuts when he mentioned it to her as she has apparently had it on her list for ages. (she is 20, no bf and no plans for dc for at least 10 years btw). now dp is saying he doesn't like it as it will get shortened.

i have looked at so many name websites my head is starting to spin Confused

please help!

i say them with the surname and they sound ok but i don't go 'oh, i love it!' iyswim.

i want the impossible, a pretty, classic, rarely used name that can't be shortened.

Why is it that you "don't mind" those names? Is it just that they don't really grab you (i.e. you think they're a bit "meh" and you're after something more exciting) or is it something else?

should be dp*'s sis not sp's.
