DP and I cannot agree on a girls name at all. We have similar tastes with boys names but differ completely when it comes to girls. We have a while yet as I'm only 16 weeks, but having a difficult pregnancy and I think that having a name will help me bond iyswim?
Dd is Kara, and surname ends in a "y".

So if I like: Imogen, Elle/Eleanor, Alice, Lily, and Sophie
And DP likes: Natasha, Heather, Jessica, Hannah, and Zoe

What will we both like?

(Apologies for typos, those video ads on the sidebar are playing havoc with my iPad!)

Isabel/Isobel is one of my favourites but a member of the family is having trouble TTC and has always wanted that name. Using it would just feel like kicking them when they are down.
Love Charlotte but DP has vetoed.

If you can't find a name you both like, could you choose one from each list (you get the first name, obvs, as you're the one who's pregnant) Smile

I love Emily and Gabrielle/a but DP isn't keen.
Already have Spphie and Annabel in the family. Love Annabel though so along those lines would be good!

If you love Annabel, what about Arabella or Amabel?

ImperialBlether · 30/11/2015 11:24

Gabrielle or Gabriella (with Elle or Ellie or Ella for short)?

Bagheera - lovely names but NN for Annabel in our family is "Bella" so a bit too close.
Dp just said Imogen is growing on him so any more along those lines?

Do you see my problem btw? Dp either says no to everything or else the name is already in our close family!
