What sort of names does your partner like?

Amaya and Ivy are both lovely names. Not so keen on Harper, too surnamey for me.

Thank you for replying! He loves names like Scarlett, Sara and piper

Very very different name choices. He hates Ivy

I like Ivy! But if your partner hates it then you can’t really use it unfortunately. I love a few names that my husband really doesn’t like so I’ll never get to use.

Think your partner is right about Ivy and I prefer Piper to Harper as the latter is just copying the Beckhams.

Amaya is beautiful. I actually like Harper but wouldn't use it because of the Beckham association. Really dislike Ivy.

Trying to think what your lists have in common... e.g they're all 2-syllable names, except for Amaya.

Harper and Piper both have 2 syllables ending in per, so maybe something with the "per" or "ber" sound.... Amber, Perdita, Pearl.

Scarlett, Harper and Sara all have an "ah" sound as the first vowel, so how about Cara, Clara, Lara, Chiara, Tara, Zara?

Charlotte as a more traditional option but similar in sound to Scarlett? Or Juliette?

What is your surname initial?
Check any name won't come up with an inappropriate word??

I prefer your partner's list to yours by a long way. Piper is better than Harper, and they're a similar style. Sara is nice and classic, and probably unusual these days, It's better than Ivy, which is a name I particularly dislike, and will date. Scarlett is fine too - not my style, but fine. Amaya is OK-ish from your list. Violet? It's a colour like Scarlett and a plant like Ivy - it's quite popular on here.

Spence haha I never thought of that!
