Help..DH has vetoed all my names!

[firefly101]

We have 8 weeks to find a name for DD1, but DH has vetoed:
Beatrice
Cecily
Isolde
Jemima
Juliet
Romily
Tabitha

He likes:
Hannah
Sophie
Abigail
....none of which we can use as they are names of close family and friends.

2 compromise names so far are:
Evie
Jennifer

....but I'm not 100% sure about either of theses. Any ideas for names we will both like?

Verity
Harriet
Georgia

Charlotte
Annabel
Isobel
Emma

Julia
Jenna
Harriet
Jessica

FWIW I really like Jennifer

noooooo not another Evie

I love Julia and Juliet

Eliza?

How about

Anna
Emma
Elsie
Alice
?

Thank you :-)

Do you think I could use Jenna as a nn for Jennifer rather than Jenny?

Like Annabel but not sure DH will, will ask, not thought of Verity will suggest, Georgia is pretty. Isobel and Harriet I'm not sure about, will ponder.

Our family is just too big - we also already have an Emma, Jessica and Julia!

my shortlist was very similar to yours and was also vetoed!

other names we considered/used

helena
anna
elsa
thea
georgia
marianne

From your list, I'm guessing you like slightly less mainstream names than your DH?

compromise ones maybe need to be classic but less frequently used?

Arabella
Eleanor
Adele
Alice

That's true DoNotFeedMe I was one of 3 fireflys in my class at school so want something that will be her name.

Love Alice and Adele, but just had a thought. Our surname is a noun, so anything beginning with an A may sound odd if just the initial and surname are used (and DH said no to Annabel.....).

Don't think there are many Evie's here (East Midlands) was more worried that it wasn't a "proper" name.

Will probably go for Elizabeth for a middle name for family reasons wouldn't chose Eliza or Elsie.

It's nice to know its not just me who gets vetoed serengeti!

Thank you for all your suggestions.

Not sure about Jenna as it just makes me think of the porn star .

[disclaimer, I have only heard of her not seen her in action].

I like all the other names though.

Jenna is a lovely name on it's own, why not use that?

I like Jennifer.

Elise
Iris
Beth
Amelia
Claudia
Laura

Love Jenna.
Florence
Franchesca
Lottie
Elouise
Elodie

I like the name Beatrice and Tabitha from your list but they are all lovely names. Some of the names me and me DH did have on our original shortlist are:

Beatrice/Beatrix
Arabella
Isabella
Florence
Daisy
Esther
Esme
Eliana
Evelina
Sophia

Hope this is helpful

Thanks for the suggestions everyone :)

Louisa

Rosa
Roseannah - NN Rosie?
Amelia

I think Evie is really cute and nice, my niece is called Eve but gets Evie a lot too

Juliet is really nice (pity your dh doesn't like it)

Lucia (Loo-chi-a)

Ella

Katie

Lucy

Molly

Lily

Amelia

Cecilia (instead of Cecily)

Grace

Celeste

Holly

Lucille

There are loads of Evies. Loads.

Would you consider Genevieve instead of Jennifer?

How about
Vivienne
Ava
Aveline
Lara
Rachel

A Genevieve could be called Evie for short.

How about Marianne?

Yes, it's a sort of Jennifer and Evie hybrid that could be quite versatile as a source of nns.

Eva is nice too, and a bit different from Evie but along the same lines. I love Aoife, but maybe if there's no Irish connection this wouldn't be on.

we have genevieve on our list for baby due in nov :) its one of our fave names.

others we have are

meredith
eliza
felicity
georgina
bonnie
scarlett
hazel
violet
beatrice/beatrix
corinna

Love Kitty as a suggestion.
