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!)

How about Tamsin?

With a surname ending -y and a sibling ending -a, I think an n ending would be a good contrast.

I think Kara is a different style to both your lists.

I like the suggestion of Eloise.

Try the namedtogether website, but set a rule that you must choose at least say, 40 names that you both like. It helped us x

Imogen, Rosalind, Jemima, Alexandra, Cecilia, Linda, Christina?

Really love some of these suggestions and am adding them to the list. DP and I both like Naomi so that's a huge step forward - thank you!
Agree with the suggestion of a "n" ending name - it sets it apart a bit.
Will try namedtogether too - thank you.
Please keep the suggestions coming!

Naomi is lovely.

If you like Imogen,how about Isla or Iona?

OneMoreCasualty · 30/11/2015 18:21

Love Naomi!

OneMoreCasualty · 30/11/2015 18:21

Kirsten, Chrstine, Jane all have n type endings.

Theresomethingaboutdairy · 30/11/2015 18:28

Was going to suggest Isobel but can see that you have ruled that out. How about Grace, Emily, Olivia, Rosa or Florence?

Naomi is a lovely name, as is Emily bias Wink

Emma, Cara, Francesca (Nn Frankie) Sofia, Verity

tuilamum · 01/12/2015 08:21

If you like Imogen how about Imelda?

99percentchocolate · 01/12/2015 11:06

DP has vetoed Imelda, Francesca, and Verity (which I really like, but he keeps saying "veritas" whenever I say it).
Love Cara but Kara and Cara may raise a few eyebrows! Grin

TheWordOfBagheera · 01/12/2015 12:15

Elizabeth, Meredith, Ria, Neva. None end with 'n' mind!

tuilamum · 01/12/2015 18:57

How about Kara and Lara Grin (Kara and Cara wouldn't just raise eyebrows it would be downright confusing!)
