Starting to think there is not a girls name in the world that me and DH both like

Gone through like every girls name and either me or DH don't like it. The ONLY Name he likes is Mia (As in, Mee-a not My-a. I have a list of at least 10 that I quite like, but DH doesn't like any of them! Getting so frustrated now.

Have a short surname so ideally would like some thing at least 2-3 sylaballs.

I don't dislike Mia, but think its is top popular/common and very short. I feel a bit worried we will end up going with this just because that is the only thing DH likes. - I want to like the name!

Just posting to say I feel for you chloejessmeg. DH & I couldn't decide on a girls name either, although DH was going to relent to the one name I really liked. Fortunately our second son was born in April & we both had boys names we liked Best of luck to you.

Can you find a longer name from which the nickname could be Mia? Matilda, anything with Marie in it, Melissa, Marcia, Margarita, Melinda, Melia, Miabella, Mariella, Michaela etc

Bit of an ultimatum, only liking the one name. I would be fairly annoyed. We are not agreeing on anything too, but at least there is some middle ground we can work on.
