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?

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
