Baby names that DH might like

[TruffleShuffles]

So me and DH have just discovered we are having a girl, we have also discovered that we like very few of the same names.

I like names that are probably a bit more uncommon. I love Persephone, Seraphina, Theodora etc. He was pretty horrified when I made these suggestions and decided he didn’t like ‘long’ names, I wouldn’t exactly class them as long.

The only names we can agree on so far are Iris, Ivy and Hazel. Can anyone suggest anything else similar he may like?

He also vetoed Eloise and IMO unhelpfully suggested Willow and Piper which no offence intended but I find awful.

The annoying thing is before we found out we started with boys names and we were pretty much in agreement on all names had a perfect one picked.

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

I love Iris and Ivy!! Beautiful names :)

It sounds like you like nature names.
Hazel is my favourite of those.
Other possible ones could be
Holly
Laurel
Wren
Skye
River
Willow
Rowan

Thanks for all the quick replies, I’ve had no luck with any I’m afraid and really like and already mentioned most of them. It seems I have a very picky DH.

We both do love Violet but unfortunately so much that we wasted it on the cat...

The boy name we had settled on was Felix, we also shortlisted Rex and Axel.

Sophia
Julia
Melissa
Aurora
Stella
Marianne
Laura
Angela
Felicity
Carla
Alicia
Victoria
Jasmine
Rebecca
Serena
Anneliese
Holly
Alexandra
Georgina
Elizabeth
Natalia
Christina

Lydia
Elowen
Ada

Beatrix? It has the x you seem to like for a boy.

Felicia, Felicity, Xenia, Cosima, Helena, Daphne, Flora, Beatrix, Flavia

April
Bonnie
Eden
Josephine
Lydia
Matilda
Nell
Ruby

I love Beatrix and it was in my top three but he isn’t keen.

He quite likes Ida and Ada and when I said Georgina he said that he did like Georgie so we may be getting somewhere.

Xanthe
Alexia
Roxanne
Ximena

Mabel
Alba
Nina
Eliza

Juliette. Martha. Mabel. Jessica. Claudia
Lois. Kiera/Ciara. Amber. Freya. Flora.
Lilıa. Laila.

Love Iris, but it is quite popular now.

Short names - Dido, Io, Phoebe, Manon, Nancy, Polly, Nell.

tbh, from your list, I think it is you that has rather "out there" taste, and it isn't your dh that is the awkward one

Roxanna
Irisis
Arianna
Eirlys
Amara
Helena

Oh I agree I’m definitely the one who goes for more out there names, I think it comes from having by far the most common name at my school and hating it. DH seems to go for the names he hears often which are usually common/popular ones which I’m trying to avoid.

Someone mentioned Alba and it’s my husbands favourite name but I just can’t bring myself to like it.

Rosalie was going to be my girls name

Are Posy and Daisy too sweet? Or Flora?

Rose/Rosy/Rosa/Roisin/Rosalind

Rosemary
Juniper
Heather
Allonia (means strong as an oak, so great meaning with a nature connection)
Martha

Xanthe

Anais
Agnes

Delphi
Adaline
Adelaide
Henrietta
