Dd nearly a week old and still no name.struggling to choose one. We have the middle name Iris and a one syllable surname. Need a first name. Quite like Lottie but high up the popularity list and would want a longer name I think shortened to Lottie but don't like Charlotte. Other contender was Liliana (shortened to Lily) but again very popular and would be 2 flowers together with the middle name.

Having always disliked Harper dp mentioned it in passing and I love it but he isn't now liking it.

I'm starting to find the whole thing so stressful now when it should be fun. Just want us to decide upon a name for her so we can announce her arrival properly and start using it and getting used to it ahead of our registration appointment next week. I just look at her and she's this perfect little thing that deserves a name that acknowledges how precious she is! Any help appreciated.

@Needmorelego , I doubt that OP is pronouncing Liliana as Lil-ayna so it doesn't matter, but you are just arguing for the sake of it and I was only clarifying someone else's post.

Liliana is lovely and sounds nothing like anus!

I'm not arguing.
Just saying that those two words don't sound anything like each other 😂

Have you decided yet? Lotte like in Denmark? Mette like in Norway? Carlotta?

Are you completely devoid of self-awareness?

@Phoenix321 beautiful name, my Cousins DD is Liliana. She uses Ana (as in frozen Aaaanah) as a nn rather than Lily. Congratulations
