Hello, our 2nd daughter is here and OH and I are struggling with her name. He's said no to most of my suggestions and now I'm very confused. He likes one of my options, but now I'm not so sure anymore myself...
Her older sister is called Millie and we often shorten it Mill when in a rush. We are Italian and the name chosen needs to sound the same or similar in English and Italian so family abroad can pronounce it.
The top 3 names I can't decide between are (name's meanings in brackets if anyone is interested):
Jessie (God beholds/God's gift), shortened to Jess if needed,
Alessia (defender), shortened to Ale/Allie/Sia/Cece if needed,
Noemi (from the Bible, pleasant/sweet, the Italian way to say Naomi), shortened to Noe/Nom i think.
I like Jessie and its meaning and I feel it would suit her and it would go the best with Millie but maybe it's the least original name.
But I also keep going back to Alessia which I love for our daughter and also think would suit her, but feel it is a bit unbalanced with Millie.
And I think Noemi is also lovely...
Can you help me? Thank you xxx
