Me and my husband cannot agree a baby name HELP?!?!

I've suggested Sol (which j have been secretly calling baby).... he's suggested names I can't pronounce like Laye "Li-ah" , Bosso and Iso....I don't know 😫
Our other son is called Orson, his children from previous relationship are boys Ayoh and Tayah....
Suggestions please!!! Everything I've suggested is vetoed 😦

I LOVE Asa.

BingThing · 18/03/2017 09:00

I love Asa too but has been vetoed by oh. What about Ade - it means royal.

Mrsknackered · 18/03/2017 15:16

I would avoid Ade. Lots of girls and boys called Ade and it is usually a nn for Ademola, Adebola, etc.
How did Yago down?
I really love Sol too.
What about Amos?

Jessbow · 18/03/2017 15:34

Jago is an old cornish name, a form of john/James or Jacob and is pronounced Jay-go

Yago is Spanish and pronounced Yay-go, again for Jacob

Given that you are not looking for a conventionally 'English name, and you like that kind of sound, spell it the way you want it to sound

Yahgo
Jaygo
Jahgo

beebee82 · 18/03/2017 19:06

Yago didn't go down well...though he seems to be liking Sol more x

Please go with sol - it's so cool!

beebee82 · 18/03/2017 20:30

I'm really pushing him to agree with Sol, baby even looks like a Sol too I can't think of what else to call him x

Beautiful boy! Sol is sweet.

Adam or Cobi?

beebee82 · 18/03/2017 20:48

Not a fan of the name Adam, and Cobi is great but kind of rhymes with our surname with ends with "mi"

What about shai instead of shea?

I love Asa but it was vetoed.
I am not keen on Sol. Beautiful baby.

beebee82 · 18/03/2017 20:49

Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I need to be more persuasive

Definitely a Sol. He is gorgeous

Mrsknackered · 18/03/2017 20:58

Oh my goodness how gorgeous is he!
I really see Solomon/Sol.
Not a huge fan of Marley but Marlowe perhaps?!
Come on DH agree to Sol!

beebee82 · 18/03/2017 21:03

Thank you! I'm going to suggest Marlowe to him, I think Sol Marlowe sounds lovely..,

Some Cameroonian names / names popular in Cameroon (according to the Internet)

Kendis
Alphonsius - you could havecNN Alfie
Aubin (lovely sounding name IMO although be aware it means white coloured - you may or may not think that'a a good thing?)

Ozias
Kofi

Disclaimer I have no idea how much these are actually used in Cameroon - simply picking ones I think sound lovely / fit the bill from Internet lists of Cameroonian names

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:10

Sol is lovely but possibly don't call him Sol if you're from Liverpool or another area where your family are likely to prefix names with "our ..." as in "our Suzie". It's an unfortunate combination with Sol as an old friend found out, after she'd named the baby and gone to visit family Blush

If your relatives don't do this it's not an issue - and a beautiful name!

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:13

Rafiki - NN Rafe?

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:21

According to this link the top 4 names in Cameroon are Patrick, Eric, Kevin and Christian Wink

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:27

Yves
Bertrand NN Bert
Edmond
Pascal
Felix

theothercatpurred · 18/03/2017 21:30

Oh hang on! I take it back! Those top 4 names aren't top Cameroonian names of babies - I think it''s top Cameroonian names using their website

Oops! Blush

Sorry!
