I think our daughter is going to be nameless forever... We don't like anything... She is 2 weeks :(

[dippypip]

DD is 2 weeks old. Our surname is double-barrelled. One is with an S and one is with a T.

I like Scarlet, but I'm not keen on having Scarlet S-T... DP says that her initials can't be SS, so he doesn't like it.

I also like Violet, but my DP seems to be incapable of pronouncing it so he hates that too.

He likes Ruby, but I don't.

We both like Roseanna, but he doesn't like 2 names together, but would agree to Rose-Anna, but 1) I don't want her to have a double-barrelled 1st name 2) everyone will assume it's 1 name. I don't like just Rose or just Anna.

However, he therefore vetoes names like:
Annabelle
Evelyn
(Just to give you an example of 2 names together)

It's impossible

Would you consider a shorter first name, given she'll have a double-barrelled surname?

I like Scarlet & Violet (had them both on my lists with various DC)
Few more suggestions -
Amber
Cora
Lydia
Verity
Margot

If you changed the spelling of Roseanna to Rosanna, it might look less like two names joined together. Just a thought.

Sounds like your DP is being difficult and vetoing a lot of options, so you should just pick and name and register the birth without him

Seriously, he needs to be more flexible. You both need to compromise on something.

I really don't get the "two names together" thing; all the names you list are names in their own right. For example, if you spelt Roseanna without the e (Rosanna) it would look more like one name instead of two - would he like that? If not, how about Rose or Rosa?

Drama Cross post!

I used the site nameberry when I was upduffed, i found it quite handy because it gives you lots of "If you like this you might like" suggestions.
I like both Scarlet and Violet and also like

Rosemary or Rosamund instead of Roseanna

Felicity

I remember this problem all too well......I knew I was having a girl and just couldn't decide.

We ended up with Thea but
my alternative was Erin / Eryn

We love Evelyn but couldn't agree on how to pronounce it!!

I also love;

Fearne
Georgia
Josie

Good luck OP - I'm sure you will find a name you both love very soon

DD (12 weeks) is Beatrice, goes by Bea. I'm a Harriet, so reckon that's a good choice
How about Freya or Eleanor?

Maybe stop overthinking it... it's okay to pick one you only kind of like. It doesn't have to be the ultimate, amazing, perfect, wonderful name that you both adore. It can just be a name that you both don't mind. A name that is nice, okay, pretty, don't hate it, nothing special, nice enough, sweet, not bad, etc... Just pick one, register the birth, and don't look back.

Because once that is your child's name, she will become the name, and the name will become her, and you'll never think "yuk I hate that name", or "the initials sound weird" or anything else, because after a while you'll just associate that name with your beautiful baby daughter.

Another way to think about it - when you fall in love with someone, you don't fall in love with their name, you fall in love with the person, and the name is just a label. Let's say my husband's name is Greg and I once knew an absolute asshole named Greg, and before I met my husband I always hated the name. Once I met my husband and fell in love with him, all negative connotations just dropped away - now I think that name is just fine, it's just him, the man I love! That's the same thing that will happen after you name your baby and get to know her, except with a child you actually do get some say in what the name will be

Seriously, just pick one you both don't hate.

Rosa or Rosalie?

What about Arabella, Isabella, Lucinda?

Great minds NameChange30!

Thank you all, lots of lovely suggestions will run them past DP!

I actually like Rose-Anna, it makes quite two quite common names into something more unusual.

However:

• Rosalind
• Rosamund
• Roxana
• Rowan
• Maria
• Josephine?

Ivy Olivia
Beatrix
Delilah
Lola
Summer
Willow

Sophia

Congratulations, welcome to the world young lady.

There are only two sorts of names - Shakespeare or the Bible and Royalty.

There are only three sorts of names... Oh, and family names.

Four! Four sorts of names.

Wish I'd got an ordinary name. The one I have dates me to a definite two decades.
