Husband or mine names part 2

Hey, it's me again lol. Baby is born, and it's girl. She still doesn't have a name.

Husband and I are still "arguing" about the name because he is picking , what I find, a ridiculous name! He dropped the "Harper-Rose" when I showed him the comments. But now he's determined to have her named "Levi-Lily" Please tell me it ridiculous because his mother thinks it's a good name.

We both like the name Alba, but he keeps saying she looks like a Levi-Lily. No. She does not. Anyone like his choice?

Why give a girl a boy's name

perimenofertility · 25/07/2022 00:38

Congratulations on your new baby!
Levi is a male name and is in the bible, so unless your baby is in fact a boy and you are religious, that's not the name for you.
Alba is lovely. Alba Lily? Sounds pretty.

bluekostree · 25/07/2022 00:31

Alba is lovely. On it's own

Personally - hyphenated first names sound common, cliched and outdated to me.

Levi-Lily sound like the name of a pharmaceutical company.

Agree to call your next child Levi, then get your tubes tied.
Has he explained why the obsession with Levi? I’m intrigued.

broomers · 24/07/2022 23:11

Levi-lily sounds like a drag name! Alba all the way. Just start calling her Alba OP there's not much he can do if you start using the name

Aquamarine1029 · 24/07/2022 23:07

Alba really is horrible. Just as bad as Levi-Lily.

ofwarren · 24/07/2022 22:32

Levi-lily is hilarious 😂
It has the word Evil in the middle

candyflossxox · 24/07/2022 22:07

I like Harper and Levi. They are different!!

What about Tiger Lily

DramaAlpaca · 24/07/2022 22:06

Alba is horrid, but it's better than Levi-Lily.

Alba Lily as a compromise? I can't bring myself to put a hyphen in but you could.

Lily is lovely though, so simple and pretty.

Mumofgirls2017 · 24/07/2022 22:02

Noo his choice is AWFul. Go with Alba

PancakesWithCheese · 24/07/2022 21:11

Not a fan of Alba at all. But Levi-Lily is terrible.

Is he hoping to just wear you down until you agree?

WTF has his mum got to do with it.

What was wrong with Harper?

Oh hold on I didn't notice the hyphen!

HadEnoughOfBears · 24/07/2022 20:58

What was wrong with Harper?

Alba is an old cheap brand of electronics, like stereos.
Levi is a boys name, brand of jeans or a town in Finland.

Lily is nice.

ANewNameANewDay · 24/07/2022 20:51

Why oh why are we still hyphenating names?! Tacky and tasteless.

Do your future stripper a favour and go for Alba!

yonce · 24/07/2022 20:47

It sounds like a stripper who's famous for jeans or similar!

Tbh I'd never normally advise anything like this, but I think you run out when he's not there and get her registered without him 😂 he's bloody bonkers!!

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/07/2022 20:39

A hyphenated boys name for a girl? What's not to like?

Would he think Robert-Lily was great for a boy? I doubt it.

WorkCleanRepeat · 24/07/2022 20:34

I could of got on board with Harper or Rose individually (minus the hyphen)

No to Levi girl. no to hyphens!

SpaceJamtart · 24/07/2022 20:20

Could it be her middle name? So its still part of her name
Alba Levi-Lily
Alba Lily Levi
Lily Alba Levi
Lily Levi Alba

Olga03 · 24/07/2022 20:15

What about Matthew-Lily? Levi is a male name, not unisex. With this name there's a guarantee your daughter will be bullied for her name. Please stand your ground.

Aquamarine1029 · 24/07/2022 20:14

I'd divorce him over the hyphen, honestly.

UnityO · 24/07/2022 20:13

Omg no to Levi and Levi- Lily!

Lily or Alba much better!

And congratulations on your new baby!

AppleBottomRats · 24/07/2022 20:12

Levi is a boy’s name. He is being ridiculous. Is he disappointed to have a girl?

Levi is absolutely awful.

Lily is a nice name. Could you go for that as a first name?

I proposed that. Should we named her Lily? He refuses. He wants a hyphenated name with Levi in it. I said HELL NO. So he agreed to go through names again, and we both loved Alba . So Alba was our name if it was a girl, and Levi for a boy ( I compromised).

Well after I gave birth, 3 days ago, he changed his mind. In the hospital. she still has no name because he is again starting with his Levi thing. Levi-Rose, Levi-May , Levi-Jane, but the ONE for him is now Levi-Lily. I hate it and find it ridiculous
