Kaiya or Tyra?

It has been sooo difficult to find a name for this baby!

Dp and I have about 10 names each but we don't like any of each others names.

One of dp's is kaiya which I do like but probably not enough, plus I can't find a definite meaning and meanings mean a lot to me (too many means in that sentence)

Just tonight we have come up with Tyra which I think is really nice and (shock horror) he agrees!

So I kinda wanna judge peoples reactions to Tyra as we literally came up with it 10 mins ago and also which name you like best. Thank you

I mean there must be so many 'famous' names, some seem to matter and some don't

Ok, so why is reminding of a famous person such a bad thing? genuine question?

I know, but am trying to think of 70s names that you might like.

But your getting it wrong Mme! It's him that likes 70's not me! Grin

Sorry, not keen on either. Tyra makes me think of Tyra banks too and I know a particularly lunatic Golden Retreiver called Kaia....

I agree with you that Leila is nice.

ThePathanKhansWoman · 28/08/2011 22:09

Simone is beautiful, can i say i don't like Tyra.

MmeLindor. · 28/08/2011 22:04

Stephanie

Amy

Nicole

Amanda

(thinking of my friend's names) I think that 70s names are due a comeback soon.

For some reason although i love Michael I hate hate hate Michelle or michaela!

Suncottage, I wanted blue as a middle name for dd but he wouldn't let me Angry

I tend to agree with you Mme, if only I didn't have to take his opinions into account....

and anyone who puts Kimber on his list is automatically disqualified from babynaming duties

Suncottage · 28/08/2011 21:53

As you are Mrs Rhett Butler how about;

Bonnie Blue?

Scarlett?

MmeLindor. · 28/08/2011 21:53

Michaela?

EvenLessNarkyPuffin · 28/08/2011 21:49

Michelle?

No, desiree has been well and truly vetoed! Not many people like that one, I'm on my own there.

Sorry Mme, it's Kimber, I didn't miss out the 'ly' (weird name but then who am I to talk?)

Grin

He definitely does! And yes, I expect you're right about me too.

I don't know, dd's name was so easy it was the first one we came up with and we never changed our minds.

If it was a boy it would be simple too, Michael.

Even though theyve said it's a girl I'm beginning to hope they got it wrong!

MugglesandLuna · 28/08/2011 21:44

Please dont pick Desiree.

EvenLessNarkyPuffin · 28/08/2011 21:44

Leila or Simone. Wait until you're in labour to ask Grin

MmeLindor. · 28/08/2011 21:41

Kimber? Or Kimberly?

He seems to have a slight 1970s UK girls name thing going there.

And you are more International pop stars.

Hmm.

ChippingIn · 28/08/2011 21:40

Sorry - but I don't like either. I don't know why I don't like Kyra, I just don't. Tyra - Tyra Banks... no, just noooooo

Keep going..... I'm sure you'll come up with something else :)

No, Tyra is a real name! I don't do made up names!

I know a Kyra too lesstalk, one of my best friends little girls :)

Well dp wants all sorts, other than kaiya he likes Maria, kimber, Samantha.....

I like Leila, Simone or Desiree but none of them are going to happen as we don't like each others
