Boy/girl twins. What goes with....

Max.

We thought we had two girls. So had kind of matchy style names (Camille and Claudia) in the pipeline.

Neither of those is the girls' name I love, but I kind of didn't mind because there were two, so it wouldn't be like one had my favourite name over the other. I like both the names, but no more than like.

Now it's turned out they're definitely boy/girl. So the boy will be Max. And I can't think of anything I like other than the name I can't have, now it's only one girls name I need. (It's been what my daughter has always been called in my head for the last 20yrs, and literally a year ago, this bitch who's connected directly to our family stole it, and yes I am fucking bitter) Spam me with names that go with Max please. Help me find something I love...

Sending you a glass tonight @Courtney555 🍷🍷 it's red, hope that's OK 😂
Have you had any more thoughts about names? Maybe have a shortlist and see what she looks like when she's born

Heh1991 · 06/11/2019 22:01

I completely understand the frustration. I’d use it as a middle name in that case. Other options (apologies if repeating)

  • Emmeline
  • Antonia
  • Octavia
  • Madeleine
  • Anastasia

Max and Séraphine / Séraphina

French and frilly! Job done OP!

Aurélie for the middle name.

RosamundButterfly · 05/11/2019 23:48

With Max, I really like

Sasha
Saskia
Natasha / Tasha
Lara
Agnes
Angelica
Philippa

Cleo
Honor (seems quite american but nice anyway)

I am another one who had my heart set on my future daughter’s name for 20 years. Then when I finally had a daughter - I called her something else! She just wouldn’t have suited it. I just thought of another name at the last minute that I was drawn to. Maybe I’ll use that name for a pet in the future (not having any more dc)

Good luck!

Delia or Delilah , Rebekah, Marina, Malini

Must say I like max and angelina

Hate to tell you this but my daughter was named years in advance too, no one stole it either but the first look at her when she was born I was HmmConfusedShock she didn't look like the name at all - and she wasn't given that name! I never had another girl so it's never been used

MissSmiley · 05/11/2019 21:05

But I think you should use "your" name and fuck anyone else

@Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav

I know. I feel like a complete idiot. There's many nice names been put forward and I must come across like a toddler "No. Don't want it." I'm honestly not trying to find something wrong with everything. Quite the contrary, I'm longing for something else to feel right.

It's just every other name is not my daughter. I can't explain it, it would sort of be like having to rename Lady Gaga, she just isn't anything else. And it's as individual a name as something like Lady Gaga, so for me to now call my DD that looks like I've copied the name this twatty twatty old arsehole has "chosen". Gaaaaargh!!!!!!

Give me some of your wine please Grin

And thank you to everyone for understanding and persevering with suggestions Flowers

Sorry if I missed it but have you rejected Philippa? I think this stands out a mile - fabulous combination!

MadameJosephine · 05/11/2019 20:28

How about Angelica? I remember you said you like cute nick names and the one I know goes by Jelli

MarshaBradyo · 05/11/2019 20:21

I still like it though. Ballet has a Russian French vibe so it’s all good

MarshaBradyo · 05/11/2019 20:17

Lol yeh 😂

MarshaBradyo · 05/11/2019 20:17

Yeh they could do how annoying it’d put me off too

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 05/11/2019 20:16

Angelina ballerina @marshaBradyo 😂😂😂
At the end of the day, your baby, your choice. It seems that no other name compares to what you have always wanted, you've asked for similar names to one's you've kind of liked but there's always something not quite right. I totally understand your reasoning for now not wanting to use the original name but I don't think your going to find one you love as much therefore you will be forever going round in circles.
NB I have had wine so apologise if that didn't make sense 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️😂

I don't mind Lulu. But at school and everywhere else, they'll instantly Ange-ify her.

MarshaBradyo · 05/11/2019 20:11

Yes me too. Ok you might think eh? But how about Lulu as nn

Don’t think of singer ;

@MarshaBradyo

Very much so. Ange/Angie just takes me back to The Queen Vic and Dirty Den...

Pretty, frilly makes me think of ballet

Can you tell us what that name is @Courtney555 OP? Just been through 13 pages and don’t think I’ve seen it unless I’ve missed it (wouldn’t put it past me!)
