I cannot bear the responsibilty of naming my second dd I have a name I really hate and do not want to do this to innocent babybut will have to.
DD1 is Flora, and I always knew it would be. son, if i'd had one, would have been Miles. Now it is a dd though, and struggle has begun.
DH extremly unhelpful, only imposing limitations: can't be a flower name, can't be a months name (there goes June), can't be too hippy and can't end in 'illy' (Lilly is double out).
My own restrictions: must be not too outlandish (Fantasia is a no-go), not obviously religious (Grace), and not weird spelling to make it 'special' (Desyree)
We live in the US and people are very bad in pronuncing anyting more complex than Jack and Judy, I am German and would like no th so my parents can have a go at pronouncing it, and our last name and heritage is irish, so that would be nice, but we'll have to be able to read it. . Anybody??
Here are my 3 ideas, all of them a bit unenthusiastic:
Esme
Ella (number one so far,but not sure about it)
Penelope (but dh doesn't like Penny)
Please help me!!
