Baby #8 is 9 days old and has no name

[RonWeasleysMum]

We just cannot agree. Our baby boy is 9 days old. This is our first baby together - I have 3 others and DH has 4 others. Our naming style is just SO different.

I have namechanged in order to give you our other kids names.

His are Olivia, Jacob, Thomas and Joshua

Mine are Everley "Evvie", Embry and Easton. The "E" theme was not intended so not fussed eithe way if baby girl has an E name.

For this baby I adore the following:

Aubree
Kinsley
Sydney
Mallory

DH really wants Lorna- his mum and her idential twin sister were Lorraine and Laura. He likes Lorna to honour them both. I'm happy to have this as a middle name but not a first name.

Other than Lorna, the only other girls name he will even consider is Courtney which I really dislike.

What on earth are we going to name our girl??

There are some really awful names suggested on this thread!

OP I like Everley too.

Your partner is being very closed minded. Who gave birth to this baby, you or him? It's nice if it can be a joint decision but if he is going to be so pig headed then I don't think I would listen to his choices at all. Why would you want your daughter's name to be a tribute to your MIL and her sister? What about your own female relatives?

Give him a list of 5 names you would be happy to use. You have to be ok with all of them. Let him choose 2. You then decide which of the 2 it will be and Lorna goes in the middle.

Cora or Cara or Carina or Cosima instead of Courtney?

Has to be Octavia really, nothing else will do!

I have a beautiful granddaughter named Everly 🤗
Nothing else useful to add to the thread.

my daughters called mallory i do get some comments about it being 'american' but honestly don't let it phase me, don't see what the issue would be with it being american, mallory lorna sounds lovely!

I think you should forget Aubree as it clashes with Embry.

I much prefer his names, sorry. I like the suggestions of Molly or Audrey, or Lara.

Congratulations on your baby!

What about Emily, to continue your non intentional E theme but sort of fits in with his type of names?

Emily totally works!

Eleonora

Sorry but they're all terrible apart from Lorna. Pick that.

Leanna
Lilah
Lola

Sydney is lovely.

If the surname is going to be his (and no, you don't have to agree to that...) and the middle name is from his side too, then you get the first name.

The most traditional of your choices is Sydney, and it's lovely.

Sydney Lorna.

Dh has said we can call her Kinley not Kinsley! I'm happy with that.
So her name is Kinley Lorna 😊

Why Kinley? It looks like it short for something.

I would think twice and then again OP. If I was your DD and you'd named me Kinley I would be changing it as soon as was old enough. Sorry I know you won't want to hear that.

Why not Lorna Kinley?

I’d assume she was Chinese. Kin Lee. Strange name.

It’s like kidney!

It might be easier for Dd if you call her Lorna Kinley. Kinsley is a name I come across in USA. Kinley is an unusual choice for a girl particularly in the UK, I cannot remember having heard it before.

Octavia

Congratulations op, glad you've found a name you both love.

Kinley?

Err ok

Ahh OP Kinley is as gorgeous name! LOVE it!

Enjoy your new baby girl

What does Kinley even mean
Oh well, crack on!

Uhhhh he now hates Kinley 😢

I do like Lorna but don't love it.

I'm not surprised OP. It's terrible. Try and find something you both really like.

What about Laura?
