He can’t be serious?

We are expecting our first dd in 6 weeks and we literally agree on no names, we’ve been together 6 years and rarely argue but this has been a massive issue for us. DH really like the names Asia and India and Paris, he is generally obsessed with naming her after a place or country, I really like Sienna, Paige and Lily. He suggested having one of his names as a first name and one of mine as a middle but they don’t even go together. I said we should have a first and middle name that we both love but now he won’t even talk to me about it? Anyone been through this?

Yes, and we ended up compromising by going to the 10th or so down on our lists that was a common choice. But DH's top names were simply a joke (in my view, of course!). Can you maybe try that? You each could try a long list and see where it coincides... The problem is that it might not be a name you both love. Have you considered Florence (a city)? Good luck!

As the others said, Siena does the job. Problem solved.

Siena is a place name. Sorted.

India Lily would be lovely

Sienna is a place?

Siena is a place name though 🤔🤔

What about Vienna?

It's a place name - but very similar to Sienna!
