I like Brooke, DH likes Skye. What might be a good compromise?!

That's it's really.

I can't imagine my girl is a Skye, he says the same for Brooke. I'm pretty sure I could talk him around (especially post birth) but I want a name we both love.

Brye?!

Just kidding. Although I do have friends who have a Rhye which I quite like.

Oddly "hippy"/nature names aren't normally our thing. If this one was a boy it would've been nathaniel and dd name was (probably) top 10 most common!

Hilly - in between the river and the sky?

Summer

I was going to say Summer too. But not if she is not due until the Autumn/Winter, obvs.

Is your OP thinking Skye as in the Scottish island? In which case: Alisa, Iona, Islay/Isla, Rona, Shona, Tanera, Tiree, Vaila - or Morvern (peninsula), Morven (mountain), Afton (river), Deri/Dara (oak), Davina (little deer), Tara (hill)....

Are you thinking of Brooke as surname-type first name, rather than something from nature? If so, perhaps there is one of those that he would like - there are lots, from Ashley to Wallis!

Love some of the suggestions on here, especially Hebe and Piper. I know two sisters called Meadow and Autumn which is lovely

whotheduckisalice · 12/06/2014 19:57

I love Hebe. Know a gorgeous little girl one.

thatwhichwecallarose · 12/06/2014 20:03

See I knew if I waited a bit I'd get some good suggestions!

How do you pronounce Hebe?
