DP and I cannot agree on a girls name at all. We have similar tastes with boys names but differ completely when it comes to girls. We have a while yet as I'm only 16 weeks, but having a difficult pregnancy and I think that having a name will help me bond iyswim?
Dd is Kara, and surname ends in a "y".

So if I like: Imogen, Elle/Eleanor, Alice, Lily, and Sophie
And DP likes: Natasha, Heather, Jessica, Hannah, and Zoe

What will we both like?

(Apologies for typos, those video ads on the sidebar are playing havoc with my iPad!)

Miriam?

my ds couldn't say dds name, so we made up a rhyme with it, and a little song, after we had sung it a few times, he got it.

Sorry, this dropped off my "I'm on" so didn't realise people were still commenting!
Still looking for a name. We decided we both loved Naomi and Imogen but DP has now gone off Imogen as I've been testing it on bump and dd cannot pronounce Naomi. Normally I wouldn't be bothered but she pronounces it as "Gnome-y" which I struggle not to laugh at, so not ideal!
Love the "n" ending names though. Also quite like Elodie since reading it on another thread.

In a similar situation, DH and I did agree on Amy. Suits her perfectly, she's 4.

How about Kara and Lara Grin (Kara and Cara wouldn't just raise eyebrows it would be downright confusing!)

TheWordOfBagheera · 01/12/2015 12:15

Elizabeth, Meredith, Ria, Neva. None end with 'n' mind!

DP has vetoed Imelda, Francesca, and Verity (which I really like, but he keeps saying "veritas" whenever I say it).
Love Cara but Kara and Cara may raise a few eyebrows! Grin

Was going to suggest Isobel but can see that you have ruled that out. How about Grace, Emily, Olivia, Rosa or Florence?

OneMoreCasualty · 30/11/2015 18:21

Kirsten, Chrstine, Jane all have n type endings.

OneMoreCasualty · 30/11/2015 18:21

Love Naomi!

Robertaquimby · 30/11/2015 14:19

If you like Imogen,how about Isla or Iona?
