Husband or mine names part 2

Levi? For a girl? Might as well call her Isaac. What a stupid idea.

Alba Lily is perfectly nice. Lily can be a middle name. Do NOT hyphenate.
DH can call her by both if he wants to (he'll be the only one though)

Imo having 2 first names is awful. Just have a first name, middle name and surname. Call her Lily or Rose or Harper but only choose one. Levi is a boy’s name.

Also, there’s 26 years between you and your DP? There’s 25 years between me and my DAD. My dad is 2 years older than your DP.

As a PP pointed out it literally has EVIL in the middle of it. For that alone it should be vetoed regardless of the fact it is an AWFUL name.

Stand your ground, don't be bullied.

Alba is lovely. Lily is nice.
Tell him no way are you using Levi for a girl.
Use it if you have a son (I don’t like it much but it’s a name. It’s fine on it’s own as a boy’s name).
Or just get a goldfish/stick insect and name it Levi.

If he really thinks boy's names are more serious than girls names - and then comes up with Levi-LiIy, what? - I don't think I'd take his opinion on anything at all seriously OP. Just call your beautiful daughter whatever you want because your dh is clearly not of sound mind.

Absolutely stand your ground and do not let him bully you into it. Are you married? As if you are, he can register her name without you present (DH registered both of ours).

Oh blimey OP, your husband is deranged. What about Naphtali? Zebulun? I hear Gad's coming back.

Congrats on your daughter.

No to hyphens, no to a boy's name. Alba is lovely. Get a pet and call it Levi.

Alba is okay. Unique.
Levi-Lily is absolutely awful. I mean beyond dreadful. Sounds like a pornstar name or a drag queen. DO NOT ALLOW IT!
Harper-Rose is awful too. Harper OR Rose are fine. Or one as a middle name.
But then I can’t stand hyphenated names (same as pretty much everyone on mumsnet it seems!).
congrats on your baby girl.

Levi-Lily is one of the least serious names I have ever heard, on here or in real life.

It most certainly does not pass the judge test.

Also, you carried her for nine months and gave birth to her. If you say no to hyphenated names and no to Levi for a girl, it's a no and he needs to accept that.

But he sounds massively unreasonable so tbh I think you should just get her registered before he goes behind your back and lumbers her with one of his God-awful choices.

Suggest Levi-Jean to him

Levi-Lily is an even worse name than Harper-Rose.

Wtf is your husband thinking?

If he's said he likes the name Alba then at this point I would just book an appointment and go on your own and register her as Alba.

Levi-Lily is one of the worst names I have ever heard

Alba is nice, as is Lily. Both very useable.

Not Levi. Livvy as a pet name for Livia or Olivia is nice. Or Libby from Liberty or Elizabeth.

PP suggestion of Liv is also nice.

It sounds like the L sound is what he likes??? So I'd probably compromise on either Lily Alba or Alba Lily.

No to Levi, if he wants something g unusual how about

Star
Luna
Lola
Jupiter (although I hate this, but not as much as Levi)

That’s a dreadful name. I agree with PP — you’re going to have to play the ‘I’m the one who carried her and gave birth to her’ card.

If he wants something short and a bit 'different', how about:
Juno
Lux
Noa
Liv
Or literally any name under the sun except Levi-Lily?

Levi is a biblical BOYS NAME!

And Levi-Lily is possibly the worst name I've ever heard suggested on here. It's chavvy and just doesn't even make sense? Why Levi-Lily? Why not David-Daisy or Reuben-Rose or Paul-Poppy if he likes the combination of a BIBLICAL BOY'S NAME hyphenated with a popular girl's flower name?

And hyphenated names are just the worst anyway. Even two nice names are ruined by a hyphen.

Alba is lovely and ancient and classy and different and pretty. Go with Alba.

Bloody hell, what is wrong with men when it comes to choosing baby names? Are they serious or just trolling us? I feel for you OP. My DH is equally as bad.

My ex suggested awful names, I tried to compromise but we ended up not having a name when she was born.

Just after I had given birth I decided on her name, ex said he wasn’t sure. I honestly couldn’t have given a monkeys what he wanted to call our daughter at that point. After carrying our baby and giving birth, whilst he just merrily sat back and suggested rubbish names, I decided that actually, he can bugger off. On this occasion, after everything I had gone through to bring our daughter in to existence, I was having the final say on the name! I think this is one of those times OP (I let him pick the middle name).

Levi is awful.
double barrelling is awful.
out if all of the names from your thread, I’d go with Alba.

Massive congratulations on baby.

Alba means dawn in Spanish. It was the name of the daughter in the book The Time Traveller's Wife.
I remember thinking it was nice as a name.

Harper Rose is fine with out a hyphen.

Lily or Alba are also fine.

Levi-Lily is horrendous

Congratulations!

Are you planning to stop at one? I think I said this on your other thread but since he loves Levi so much I'd save it for a boy. There's a Hebrew girls' name Levana(h), but apart from that I can't even think of a girls' name that's similar.

How about Alba Lily (no hyphen)? Or Rosalba (legitimate Italian name, means white rose)? Or Lee Violet? 🤓

Are you pronouncing Alba as Al-a-buh?
