Fighting over baby names.

[Kelko]

I'm changing my baby daughter's name for personal reasons. I had a list of around 4 names and asked her dad's opinion, but he dislikes them and won't really compromise. He wants her to be called Erin, which I don't particularly like and doesn't sound right with my elder daughters' names. A couple of days ago, he suggested Francesca, which isn't a favourite of mine but I was willing to go with as a compromise. Then he decided (again), she'd definitely suit Erin much more.

I don't know whether to just go with what I'm happy with and what would suit her, or just go around in circles with him and pull my hair out.

Althea Grace sounds lovely. If baby's dad isn't willing to participate in discussions then I'd just name her what you like.

I like Amara.

Graziella is a very nice name and you can use the nickname Grace or Gracie or even Ella if you like.

One of my best friends' name is Francesca. She calls herself Fra or Fran.

I also like Isabella and Antonella.

I told baby's dad the name that I decided on earlier and he said, "that's awful, I thought we are calling her Amara". Unbelievable after giving me a load of grief over her name!

Athea Grace?
Gracia Amara?
Amera Grace?

Pah! Both beautiful names. Amara mean "Eternal" and Althea means "healing". Lovely.

Why are you involving him in this at all? He is just playing with you.

Choose a nice name. If he asks, tell him what it is. Don't tell him otherwise. You are just handing yourself to him on a plate here.

I know a Maria-Grazia which sounds good I think.

Just get yourself down to the registry office and call her whatever you like.

Are you in a relationship with this person? I'm asking because you refer to him as baby's dad, but not as your partner.

Is she called Erin at the moment?
