DH also likes Violet, which is one of the only ones I like as well. I like it but don’t love it.
I’m determined to find a name I love that he likes..

It doesn't seem right that you won't have a name that he loves and you like but you think it's fine to go with a name that you love and he likes Hmm

You could go Disney themed and have a Moana.

Or Ariel

Ocean is much better than Oceana
Lakelynn is awful. Lake isn't to my taste but you could possibly use Lake but not with Ricki as a first name. There must be prettier names that make you think of bodies of water - lake is like puddle and not so pretty imo. Maybe if you have a son ?
Niagra is awful. Lots of jokes about waterfalls and falling over
River is very unisex imo. Would that bother you ?

All tacky... poor kid.

Agree

Océane is popular in France, if that helps

CambsAlways · 28/12/2022 15:53

Jeez noooo

Vinylloving · 28/12/2022 15:53

Coralie?

Vinylloving · 28/12/2022 15:51

Lakelyn- the Lakeland kitchen shop

Oceana- crap nightclub, an aquarium, a sailing boat, a continent - but not a name

What about Allegra? For some reason it feels oceany to me

caggie3 · 28/12/2022 15:50

I once saw a girl leaning over a bar stool with a guys fingers inside her in Oceana Swansea, and that is the first thing that comes to mind.

Sorry OP 😂

Oceana - cruise ship
Niagara - Viagra - DO NOT inflict this on your child. Her school days will be hell.
Lakeylyn - all I can think of is that it would be shortened to licking

KirstenBlest · 28/12/2022 15:32

Oceana - sounds like a sea life visitor attraction
-River Rose - and flooded the valley
-Lakelyn - plastics
-Niagara - Viagra

MerryChristmasTree · 28/12/2022 10:45

Lakelynn and Niagara are terrible. And yes Oceana just reminds me of the nightclub!

TrashyPanda · 28/12/2022 09:20

Stella Maris means Star of the Sea. It is one of the titles of the Mary, Mother of God.

TheWumpus · 28/12/2022 05:28

I used Bay as a middle name for DD1. it's not a common name, but felt very useable to me.

Apollonia1 · 28/12/2022 05:27

Violetta, if he likes Violet

Bosk · 28/12/2022 05:23

Shelly
Cliff

Suzi9989 · 28/12/2022 05:18
