Non of them are really jumping out at me though If you had to choose from this list which one would it be?

why do you have to choose one of these? if he said no to your choices you can say no to his surely?

I like Annabelle (with nickname Annie) if I'd got to pick one.

I know what you mean though, all perfectly lovely names but nothing that really jumps out!

You put it far more eloquently, SG!

Rosa

Quite like Rosa.

Would he like Arianne? Would you?! Similar kind fo vein to his others..why does he get to be the decider?

cross-posts blouse!

Our chosen name (if current baby turns out to be a girl) is on that list . Fraid I'm not saying, though, not even online.

Apart from that, I like Ella, Lily and Rose (I know 'Rose' isn't there, but there are two variations, which I don't like so much).

Presumably none of your chosen names are here, and, reading between the lines it sounds as though you feel obliged to choose from his list because he won't choose from yours. Why? This should be a joint decision; he's not the CEO of a company called Your Relationship.

Also, be aware that it's quite common (among my friends, at least) for men to be far pickier than women when it comes to choosing names. I really don't know why, but it's bloody irritating. So don't feel that you're alone.

I wouldn't pick one from someone else's list if I didn't like the names much. Why not make your own list and tell him to pick?

Imogen - but that's only because it's what DS would have been if he'd been a DD
