How on earth do I name this baby girl!?

I am so stressed right now Sad she's 5 weeks and 2 days. We can't agree on anything. He says he doesn't like any name apart from Lily 🙄 Lily is okay but definitely not a name that I see her being. I really love April but he says that as she was born so close to April it would just be stupid and that her nickname would become 'Ape/Apes' Confused

She doesn't even look like either name tbh so I don't really know what to do. He likes Kiera and I think it's okay if spelt Ciara but still not 100% and he doesn't like it spelt like that as he thinks people will spell and pronounce it wrong.

So lost right now.

We both quite like Mollie (he hates the y spelling 🙄) but will she be Mols (sounds like moles???)

Help!!

What a beautiful baby! We always say babies are gorgeous, cause they all are, but she is really beautiful. I thought Lily as soon as I saw the picture, but ,unusually, any of the names you suggested would be fine.

And you're not alone- we were still negotiating until the morning of the 6 week , very last day registration appointment. It'll all come clear.

Mollie is lovely. Never ever heard of Mols either.

Remember, there's no law saying a child gets first name, middle and surname.

Just imagine you a royal - you can give her two middle names. Or even three..

Notso · 20/06/2017 23:13

She is adorable and looks like a Molly (the Mollie spelling looks like it's pronounced Molleye to me).

thefamilynaom · 20/06/2017 23:13

Awww love her smile!! Lily and Kiera are nice and I love Mollie. She could just be Mollie with no nn as it doesn't really seem like one you need to shorten.

What about Kirrily (kir-i-lee rhymes with cheerily) or Lilias (maybe nn Lily for him)?

Ohyesiam · 20/06/2017 23:35

She is SO LOVELY! A beautiful April, a charming Mollie.

And don't over think the nickname, most manned can be picked apart to sound horrid. My initials can be pronounced anal,( thanks mum) but only one person has every said this! I noticed it in my teens and was mortified, but I am obviously an over thinker too.
Congratulations.

And BTW you will love geet name because it will become her. My dd chose a nick name/ shortening that I never liked. She is now 12, and I love it be cause it's her's.

MadameJosephine · 20/06/2017 23:35

She is sooooooo beautiful!

Looks like a Sophie to me

GinSwigmore · 20/06/2017 23:49

Kira.
Lovely name.
Kiki as a nickname?

Ojoj1974 · 20/06/2017 23:57

What a beautiful baby!
I like the suggestion already made of Sienna.
I like Mollie not so keen on Ciara
I think she needs a bigger more exciting name as she is GORGEOUS!!

OvariesBeforeBrovaries · 21/06/2017 00:03

Ok my ovaries have officially exploded Grin she is so beautiful!

I think she looks like a Mollie.

CremeFresh · 21/06/2017 00:06

What about Maisie ?

highcastle · 21/06/2017 00:08

She's 100% a Mollie. Molls doesn't sound like moles at all!

angelcakesrule · 21/06/2017 00:17

Mollie for sure, she's beautiful

My god daughter is Molly, never gets called mols... though we do call her dolls/dolly

Brandnewbrighttomorrow · 21/06/2017 00:22

She's absolutely gorgeous! She looks like a Sophia to me! Or my husband's grandma was called Rosina which I think is gorgeous but didn't work with our surname. Rosie for short?

Brandnewbrighttomorrow · 21/06/2017 00:24

We didn't get to use my favourite name combo which was Amber Elizabeth. Youngest just didn't look like an Amber! Having read some of the other posts I really like Siena. And it's a gorgeous place too!

TheSleeperandTheSpindle · 21/06/2017 00:35

Absolutely gorgeous!!
She looks like a Mollie to me Grin

MiddleClassProblem · 21/06/2017 00:40

Not sure why she's giving me the Laila vibe (or leyla, layla etc).

Amber seems good too. Maybe Mia, Grace, Ella/Ella, Emily, Iona

GreenTulips · 21/06/2017 00:41

How about

Bonnie (which is what she looks like)

Connie, Tilly, Halle, Avril, (rather than April)

Foureyesarebetterthantwo · 21/06/2017 00:46

For sure that is one cute baby!

lavenderpekins · 21/06/2017 00:50

She's gorgeous - she looks like an Olivia 😄
