FFS! DH has now confessed he doesn't actually like our girls name!

[PoultryInMotion]

Almost 36 weeks pregnant. I need to be sorted and know what I'm calling the baby before it's born (for purely impatient/irrational purposes)

For weeks now DH and I have agreed that if it's a girl (which is a huge possibility) she will be called Zara. Now he's suddenly confessed he doesn't like it. He suggested Sara but that doesn't sit right with me

I've rejected other names on our shortlist for various stupid reasons -

Elsa - what if she gets called Ellie (which I don't like) or Elsa the elephant?! (see the irrational coming out again?)

Cara - lovely but doesn't go with middle name

Katrina - lovely but don't like Kat

Help! I need a name!

Sorry, should add the middle name will be Carolyn and we have a DD already called Faye.

I like Sara and also Sarah? Or how about Yasmin?

Tara
Lara
Dara
Nia
Ria

Love Carolyn - can't you use that as a first name?

All the Katrina's I know are definitely Katrina and not Kat if that helps at all.

Annabel Carolyn

Romilly Carolyn

Thea Carolyn

Grace Carolyn

Beatrice Carolyn

yes call her carolyn ,nn cara

cece Yasmin makes me think of the contraceptive pill I was on for a while I do like Jasmine but wasn't sure how it sounded with Carolyn

FriskyMare I love it too very much but at the risk of outing myself completely it's my mother's name (who I'm very close to) and didn't want to get into a 'big Carol' 'little Carol' type situation.

GossipMonger That's reassuring, I know we could always refuse to shorten but it seems to automatically happen at school. I don't have anything against shortening names (I'm rarely called my full name!) but I'm just not keen on Kat. Grace is lovely I just wish two of my friends hadn't already pinched it

Louisa Carolyn
Sophie Carolyn
Willow Carolyn
Melissa Carolyn
Victoria Carolyn
Emily Carolyn
Rachel Carolyn
Julia Carolyn
Nina Carolyn
Frances Carolyn
Naomi Carolyn
Maya Carolyn
Lucy Carolyn
Florence Carolyn
Holly Carolyn
Ruby Carolyn
Ivy Carolyn
Jennifer Carolyn
Laura Carolyn
Isabella Carolyn

Maya is lovely PopcornBiscuit, but DH pulled a face! He has approved of Laura though so thats heading for the shortlist!

Natalie
Sasha
Thea
Romilly
Alicia
Susannah
Anna

Anna, Hannah, Jemima, Lara, Lorna, Louisa (I like 'a' endings...)

Alicia is lovely, a bit worried about how it is said in a really strong version of our regional accent but then neither me nor DH have really strong accents

Also liking Lara (even if DH did immediately say 'Croft' and also Lorna

Keep them coming please, you all seem to have far more imagination than me

I'd go Cara Carolyn, nn CC/CeCe.. very sweet.

I never thought of CC, it sounds really cute! I was worried she'd get called CaCa that's why I'd avoided it

Cara was always my favourite name from the start.

Corinna
Tamsin
Meredith
Meryl
Iona
Ailsa
Catriona

cece does have a lovely ring to it

I know, feeling a bit dim that I didn't get inspired by your name on your earlier post!
