DH and I are expecting our first child together, I have 3DC from my previous marriage named Poppy, Finley and Lucy. He has 2 children from his previous marriage who are now adults named China and Caspian.
Obviously our naming style is totally different and we are finding picking a name for this little girl nearly impossible.

My list is
Sophie
Emily
Lottie
Ruby

DHs list is
Indie
Cleo
Cassia
Suki

I really don’t like any of the names on his list. He doesn’t like the names on mine! What do we do?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I think you're going to both need to compromise and meet in the middle somewhere!
There's an app (i dont remember the name now) where you both swipe yes or no to names and then it tells you if you have a match. I'd start there :)

(FWIW my fav of all of those is Indie)

Ha ha, you’re incompatible!!
Seriously, you both need to dump those lists and start again with new names!

Cassia, short for Cassandra?
Suki, short for Susanna?

is it possible for you to meet in middle? Like you might list 2 reasons why you love these names each, then you both find 5 different names that you love that fit other partner's criteria, then pick a favorite from that list?
