My DH and I seem worlds apart with the names we like. I can’t even begin to ‘sort of’ like any on his list (I hate them all with a passion) and apparently he feels the same about mine...

So if I like;

Imogen
Headley
Beatrice
Lexi

And he likes:

Eliza
Peyton
Kelsey
McKinley
Presley

Skyler

What might we BOTH like?!

Alexis? Not a fan of most of the names chosen on either side. Do a new list each without any of the names already chosen. Keep making lists until you find one you agree on 😂

Darcey
Marnie
Harlow
Trixie

Would he like Beatrice spelt Beatrix? Nn Trixie
How about
Elizabeth nn Beth or Lizzie

He seems to like surname sounding names which headley is surely.

Other suggestions

Think DH list is dreadful (apart from Eliza) and surprised he doesn't like Headley as that has a similar vibe (it's awful). Imogen and Beatrice are lovely but Headley and Lexi are more in tune with his list. What about Francesca (Frankie).

Yours and your partner's lists seem very different except that Eliza on his is perfectly nice and Headley on yours is absolutely dreadful.

Headley?!?!? Come on!

There are lots of threads about how to find mutual ground, have a look a those. There's also an app that helps I believe.
