Well i am very girly and very into pink etc but even i was abit shocked when he suggested Princess and i dont think myself i would hate it but i dont think i would love it and just because im a girly girl doesnt mean she will be so i am trying to steer him away from Princess but he seems very set on it :s

Lola-Rose ??

I must admit I'm not a fan of hyphenated names. My favourite out of your other choices is Sienna.

If you're asking people not to be nasty, it sounds like you know it's not a great name. How are you going to feel introducing your DD as Princess if you are worried about people's reactions all the time?

Lola is nice, but I wouldn't hyphenate it.

The addition of -Mae is VERY common atm. What's wrong with just Lola? Or Lola May with no hyphen?

CharlieBoo · 21/10/2010 13:50

Two words for you....... Katie price! Lola is lovely, drop the Mae IMO. They really don't lend themselves to each other at all.

Would you want to be called Princess now?

awful!

I suspect your child would be teased for the name, and you would probably find yourself embarrassed telling everyone what you've called her.

Princess is a pet name, not a name to go on a CV.

no not too nasty at all! tbh that was my point that while she is little it may be 'cute' but i am not so sure she would appreciate it as an adult! anyone have any new suggestions or diff options to go with Lola other than Lola-mae. Thanks!

god no

not too sure as name but as dinkystinky says it could be used as a special name used by daddy.

do not think it's very suitable for an older girl / lady sorry

Lola is lovely (drop the Mae!), Sienna not my bag but not hideous. Princess...your DH is clearly insane Wink. Remind him that she has to live with the name her whole life, and he'll have to call her in Tescos, swimming pool, park etc. Would he like to be called Prince?

dinkystinky · 21/10/2010 13:44

It will remind people alot of Jordan and what she called her daughter.

I'd stick with your choices - maybe your husband can call her Princess as a special daddy nickname?
