Have settled on the name Lucy for our new baby!

I'm keen on having Lucy Ellen (Ellen is my nans name)

But DP is insisting on Lucy Elsie May, I just can't get my head around this as to me it doesn't flow!

I offered a compromise on Lucy Ellen May (so both family names are included but he isn't having it!

To be honest I really dislike May and so desperately want Lucy Ellen!

What do you all think? Any alternatives you can come up with?

Lucy Ellan is lovely!

Lucy Elsie-may is a bit twee for my tastes though Hmm

Lucy Ellen is gorgeous.

Lucy Elsie May doesn't flow at all and makes the name much less nice and much more tacky sounding.

Conclusion: You have much better taste than your DH and you'll be doing the birthing so you get final say Grin .
