Me and dh can't decide

Has anyone else been in the position where you and dh just don't agree on names at all?
We're having a surprise so that makes it even harder as there are 2 names to disagree on. Sad. We've been through over 1000 girls names and only sort of agreed on one and neither of us like it that much. It's probably #30 on my list. I'm starting to feel really down about it. There are so many names that I love and I'm so sad that I won't love my baby's name. My dh is the most stubborn person in the world and won't change his mind about my names.

I'm 34 weeks and don't see us coming to an agreement.

What is the name you both think is okay?

Annie is lovely, as is Hazel, Iris and Piper.

What about something like Rosanna (similar feel to Susannah) and then the nn could be Rosie. And then maybe a middle name from DH’s list.

Blimey. They are quite different, aren’t they? I do think your DH has a nicer list - sorry!

I’d take Paige off the list - it’s always up there on the naughtiest kids list for teachers!

Skylar, Piper and Lyra are all quite American and will date quite quickly, don’t you think?

I think Eva, Elise and Iris are the best from those lists.

Maybe give them one a middle name that the ‘loser’ gets to choose?

Could you go with Susannah but call her Susie?

YahBasic · 23/01/2019 22:38

Which is the girls name that you both think is ok?

How are you both with boys names?

bluebird3 · 23/01/2019 22:34

Thanks for the reply. We only have 1 niece who is 1 so can't really do that. And I actually hate all dh's top 10 and he hates all mine.
Here are a few examples

Dh's list:
Maria
Katrina
Alina
Eva
Esther
Susannah
Annie (ok but terrible with our surname)
Elise

Mine:
Paige
Meredith
Hazel
Rosie
Iris
Bianca
Skylar
Lyra
Piper
