We have 8 weeks left to find a name for dd but can't find anything we both like, dh suggested Allie as it was the nickname for his young son who passed away before I met him I like it but there's a but? I dont know, Any views on this would be appreciated also not sure it seems like a nickname to me I think I would prefer a fuller name ?

I think calling your child after a child who has died is not a good idea, would seem like your dh was trying to 'replace' his other child and gives the unborn child a whole lot of issues re identity imo.

Maybe you could use Allie as a middle name (or Allison)

I would just tell your dh it would make you feel uncomfortable to use it as a first name.

Aliana?

Or use allie as a middle name?

I think it's lovely to give her some type of link to her brother but I don't think personally I would be comfortable with giving her the exact same name.

What names do you like?

Other thing is I don't want to upset dh on how I reject it as his passing was a very difficult time for dh he was terminally ill and he searched the length and breadth of the country for a cure :-(
