My husband and I have differing tastes when it comes to names. We've got two names that we agree on:

Liora and Twyla.

We are both in love with the sound of Liora, but worried because we aren't Jewish and don't want to offend anyone. Twyla is so pretty but we are worried it's too "out there" and the reactions from others we've tested it on haven't been great.

Names I like but my husband dislikes: Melody, Cadence, Violet, Daisy, Annabelle

Names my husband likes but I dislike: Ophelia, Penelope, Lucy, Miriam

Her middle name will be Mae.

Any suggestions if other names? Or opinions on the names Liora or Twyla?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Daisy is lovely, but not Daisy Mae!!

I like Lucy too, but the same again.

but if Mae is just going to be a middle name and you're not going to hyphenate it, it doesn't really matter because no one uses the middle name except on official paperwork.

i'm sorry, but I don't like Twyla.

Never heard of either name. I’m really surprised so many people have heard of Twylah especially. To me it sounds completely made up in the same sort of vein as Madyson Bryce Neveah etc - and it’s not pleasant to say.

The other name is just like any other L name that there are too many of. So I’d say neither!!

My choice from your longer list would be Violet.

I don't like either of the 2 shortlisted names.

I love Grace. Such a classic simple to spell name.
