Really struggling as we’ve either used our favourites or have family/close friends who’ve used them.

Need something short, unfussy to match siblings.

Names we kind of agree are a maybe:
lsla, Lara, Ava, Lyla, Kayla.

I also like Erin and Cara. He doesn’t.

He likes Clara and Layla. I dont.

We’re not miles apart really, but can’t find a solution. Probably because we’re overthinking it, but none stick out as feeling ‘right’.

Any thoughts/suggestions please. Any advice if you didn’t really have a favourite or couldn’t agree with partner so had to settle on a ‘maybe’ name. Did you grow to love it? Do you still have second thoughts?

We had a lot of issues with names and was very lucky 3rd was a girl otherwise we could still be disagreeing!

What about also for shorter names...

Lana, Ilana, Alana, Alannah, Elena (I’m sure there are more variations) are beautiful!

Firstly - name your baby what you want - if your best friend has used your favourite, who cares?! If you’ve dreamt of using a name all your life, use it!

if you really don’t want to, how about Kira? Lyra? Mila?

As opposed to Lyla
