When bf doesn’t like your favourite name 😭

44 replies

We don’t know what we’re having yet but I fell in love with Imani for a girl. Bf says no as it’s too similar to his family members name.
Any suggestions on something similar?
I like names along the lines of Maia, Valentina..

I knew sisters called Nayana and Amala. They seem to be in a similar vein to the names you like
