AIBU to be upset that he changed the baby's name?

[user1473008638]

We had chosen a name. She had a name! Now that she's here, he is refusing to call her the name we had picked, Sophia and is saying she looks like an Audrey or an Arden. He appears to be leaning towards Arden. He's refusing to call her Sophia and I'm at the end of my tether. She's two week old and she doesn't have a name. I wanted Sophia Alice or Sophia Skye. He keeps babbling on about how popular it is and how it doesn't feel like her name and that he knows too many little Sophias and Sophies. It's completely thrown me off track as we had planned to get her letters painted for her name and my parents are asking the name and everytime I say Sophia, he says we haven't really chosen and it's just getting to me! He wants Audrey Delilah or Arden Katherine. AIBU to say that we chose Sophia so she's Sophia now?

He can't anyway mavis

Unless the parents are married, fathers can't register baby on his own

Sorry. Wrong thread. There's two baby name threads at the moment where there is a disagreement between parents

Last year there were 2744 babies christened Sophia out of 697,852 in England and Wales. It might be considered one of the more popular names, but the reality is very few babies are called it.

I love Sophia, it's beautiful

Ariette is lovely.

Ariana Alice is as well though :)

I love Rosalie op!

Congratulations on your baby girl

With a child called Gideon, I do hope you're not Archers listeners

Ariadne?

Head I'm not advocating crazy names. There are stacks of lovely classic names that are not top ten. Off top of head over used in my dds school ie several at least in each class - eve, lily, Olivia, Sophie, underused Zoe, Miranda, Tess and Mary. Proper lovely names but not two a penny.

I love Audrey Or Aubrey to sound a little different and it's unusual

Isadora?

Arriete just sounds like you've missed the H off Harriet. I love Juliet/Juliette. It's classy and not overly popular, and it 'feels' similar to Sophia (classic and understated).

Isn't Aubrey a boy's name?

I'm just glad he's given up on 'Arden'. Just no.

Wizadora?

Ooh. Wizadora Esmerelda!!

I know a few Sophia/Sofia's- I think it's popular as it's a name that works in lots of languages, English, Spanish, Russian, and can be pronounced in all of them!

If it's not for him, though, it's not for him. I think Arianna/Ariana is a lovely name and would love a little baby names that:)

I say Georgia, love that name.

Oh I love Gabriella Darcy. LOVE IT

You can frame that ^if you like. In all the years I've been on MN I may have said that once before.

Unfortunately I'd be too lazy to call Gabriella Darcy, so she'd end up being Gabi. Which I like, but don't love.

Difficult isn't it.

Nanny Game of Thrones and Ireland, respectively?

I thought Arden was nice.

I loved Arden at one point. Garden without the G...we went for another name that actually means garden. Arden's been around a while though, definitely crops up in 1920s American lit. Also makes me think of 'ardently'.
Anyway, what about Seren? There were two (different years) in a very lovely private school I subbed at last year.

Ophelia would go well with your other names and it is similar in sound to Sophia though nowhere near as popular.

I really like Arianna Grace and Arianna Alice. Usually only one name is mentioned after a few months when telling people a baby's name.
The Queen's sister was known as Princess Margaret Rose until she was about 10 and I knew a Mary Elizabeth whose family used both names for about 10 years too.
Sure she's a gorgeous baby by any name! It's up to you and DH! 💐

I think Audrey is an old fashioned name and suits an old lady.

Sophia is nice, as well as Sophie.

Arianna is nice too.

You both need to be happy with the name though. When we'd decided on names, we named them that straight away on birth. I've never really understood people saying well see how he ir she looks them decide to name them.

Aurora? Aurelie? Aurelia? All go well with Sophia as middle name.
