Trying to choose a name for DD2. Been really struggling to find anything we like. We like Liliana (‘-ana’ would be pronounced ‘-anna’ in our area’s accent) but DP’s 10 year old niece has a name ending in -anna (double n) but the start of the name is different.
Family also commonly call niece by her nickname, which is the start of her name, so we thought they might do the same with our baby, and call her Lily for short which would mean there was no similarity at all.
When family asked about our name ideas, MIL was indignant that we couldn’t use ‘niece’s name’.
Later, SIL started sending name ideas to us and asking our opinion so we assume she didn’t like the idea either.
A week later, on the wider family group chat, DP was asked again what names are on the list and Liliana was on there. The next morning, MIL called DP to tell him that niece had now been crying that baby cousin will be stealing her name. Niece isn’t in the group chat and wouldn’t put it past MIL/SIL to plant this idea with her to guilt trip DP and I.
Are we out of order for considering a name that ends in the same sound?
If we are, has anyone got any ideas for other names we might like? Feeling pretty gutted tbh.
