Baby Name Conundrum - WIBU?

[tempnamechange19]

I have name changed for this one as it is a tad outing.

My husband has come up with what he believes to be a beautiful and very fitting name for our new baby... I disagree.

The name is Byromi and is a mixture of our names.

I think that although it would be an unusual name, it is very lazy just to smash them together and it is also a bit odd sounding. He thinks I am being unreasonable not to even consider it.

Does anyone have any thoughts on either the name or the mixing of parents names to make a new name?

Thanks!

Agree, it doesnt work well as a name. It reminds me of Byriani.

@Byron85 you'll be pleased to know I know of a Shinet/Sinet... Not sure on the spelling but it's a mix between Sinead and Annette. Then you have Katie Price and Peter Andre's daughter Princess 'Tiaamii' which is a blend of their mother's names Tia and Amy.

I'm sure I'll think of more

I.know someone who named her daughter Lee-Ann dad was Lee her middle name was Ann, I also used to live across the road from a House named Veda after Vera and Dave that lived there 😂

YANBU. Your DD will spend her whole life saying "not Bryony , it's.....'. It wiill be a constant source of confusion.

I don't see what is wrong with Georgiana? It was the name of Mr Darcys sister and the duchess of Devonshire. It may be a bit out of fashion, but lots of old fashioned names are coming back in. The shortened versions are cute too.

I quite like Georgiana but it is a bit fancy.

Theodora is similarly grand but less frilly and more feisty. I really like it.

How about Dorothea? More unusual and a bit girlier than Theodora, but still a real name with lots of nice nicknames.

Or Evangeline as a more unusual Evelyn?

I love Georgiana actually, and if it's good enough for a Darcy of Pemberley and all that!

kinda like how Will Smith and Jada Pinkett named their kids Willow and Jayden!

How the fuck have I never made that connection?!

It's just a bit try hard 🤷 sort of name I liked as a teenager but grew out of. Likewise Theodora.

I love it, but I think it would be a real shame not to use all of the letters in your names. There's nothing to say they have to remain in the same order.

Therefore, have you considered Bannimoory?

It's a very pretty name - quite Celtic-sounding, Hebridean, even. I'm sure your daughter would be delighted to keep explaining the origin of her unique name to everybody she meets - telling people 'the story of Bannimoory'.

Tell me, OP - do you live in a brightly-coloured house and enjoy singing songs about your own names and occupations?

Im not sure either, I do find this sort of thing a bit cringy for me but that's just me. I have one of my little boys middle names as my dads name but that's as far as I will go. I wanted to give my child his own identity and not sure name merging does that. But it's your baby so up to you, nobody ever agrees on names :)

I like Bryony, if that helps.

No. You know all the reasons why it’s terrible, but apart from anything else you will get SICK TO DEATH of correcting everyone who calls her Bryony.

Did he enjoy the twilight books?

Very cringey. In fact no, it's terrible. It's not just naming a baby, can you imagine an adult named this?
