Feel like finding a name we both like is impossible

[AliceRR]

Baby girl due in February

I love names Amelia, Isabella, Sophie, Sophia, Sienna, Aurora (and to shorten to Rory) but feel like they are too popular / there are too many of them

I also like Sienna, Aubrey, Rain, Summer, Priya but DH isn’t keen

DH loves Ruby. He also likes Cerys, Freida. I’m not really keen. Ruby is ok but I don’t love it.

I just feel like I don’t know how we’ll find a name and there are so few he likes. He’s a bit uncompromising about it which doesn’t help.

How do we find and agree on a name we both like? Will it be easier when she’s here??

Meredith?
Maura/Mara

I find Aurora a bit of a tongue twister, a bit like the sound a dog makes when chewing a toffee.

You seem to like names ending in A sooooo
Lydia, Clarissa, Clara, Rosa,
But what about Charlotte (Lottie) Beatrice (Bea)

Agatha
Agnes
Allegra
Augusta
Ada
Adela

(Love Adela! Strong, yet feminine and definitely not too popular!)

DH and I didn't agree any names before the babies arrived and decided once they were born. You have 6 weeks to register the birth.

Claudia/Claudine/Claudette
Evalina
Michaela
Marissa
Maria
Melissa
Georgina
Stephanie/Stephania
Louisa
Arabella
Eleanor
Christina
Annabelle
Anna
Clara
Clemantine
Adelina

OP, you seem to have similar taste to me. All of your favourites were on my list for DD1 and 2 (apart from Aurora). I also felt they were all too popular, so only one made the cut, as a middle name.

Here are other names we considered, including ones we used:

Lara
Holly
Serena
Amber
Lana
Talia
Amelie
Molly
Jasmine
Daisy
Jessica

I work in early years and in the last 3 years have had 4 Sienna's come through. I like it though! They've all been gorgeous little girls with heaps of personality.

Already love Sophia (one of my favourites), Francesca (DH doesn’t like), Charlotte (we both like but think there might be a lot of them especially with the Royals), Clementine (DH doesn’t like), Amelie (we both like)

We both like Freya but it’s not top of the list

Hadn’t considered some of these but they will go on my list - Saffron, Faye, Marissa, Beatrice, Anabella,

Evalina is beautiful

Seren is nice and different

I like Georgia (more than Georgina) but DH isn’t keen

Jessica and Talia are nice. Lara is too. Clara and Melissa

🤔

I have Elena on my list, different spelling to Elayna

We have a Holly and an Amber

There are some really lovely suggestions there. Thank you! Sometimes I think it takes time to mull a name over and then it can really grow on you

I like Millicent too

I do have time, I know, but I feel like it might be even harder when she’s here and we feel under pressure to name her! Or maybe we’ll look at her and just “know” 😃

Tessa or Sabina?

@LarkDescending Tessa is ok. Not sure about Sabina but I have a cousin Sabreena which is similar and Sabreena is named after me(!) so also potentially similar

After discussing today it seems we both like Charlotte, Francesca (altho DH said no before!), I don’t dislike Ruby and it is growing on me as DH keeps calling her Ruby already!!

I feel like we’re getting closer. Had some great suggestions on here. Thanks again.
