Mine or ExDp's baby girls name.

[PeachBeach]

If choosing a name in a couple isn't hard enough! Me and ex have recently split we have Ds together (Ellis) and I'm pregnant with Dd. We've finally agreed on a few names we both like, but he's got his preferences and I've got mine.

Me:
Betsy ( I'd quite like Elizabeth and shorten it but ex won't)
Matilda (Tilly(
Nelly (ex might consider Eleanor and shorten it)

Ex:
Annie
Georgie
Evie

Open to other suggestions but we've been through the baby book a hundred times and we've struggled to agree on these.

It seems like he likes diminutives so would something like Lily or Katie work?

They're all nice names, prefer yours but would put longer version on bc for all, (especially Nelly and Georgie). Really like Matilda and Eleanor.

We've vetoed a lot of names @TaraLaraMara. His favourite from the list is Georgie, he also liked Reece, Bobbie, Addison. I didn't like those, so they haven't made the list. He'd prefer Matty as a nn for Matilda, but it's too similar to surname so we said no to that.
I prefer girlie names, his addition of Annie and Evie are in response to that.

My favourite is Betsy but it's his least favourite, he doesn't hate it. I'm also not sure it goes with our sons name.

I would just pick what you like.

Thank you @user1493494961. Me too

I'd prefer the longer names too, he definitely won't go for Elizabeth, but think I can convince of Eleanor and use Nelly. I don't like Georgina so it would be Georgie if we went with that.
I don't mind Annabelle nn Annie but he doesn't like Annabelle and thinks she'd get Belle which he really doesn't like.

I don't want to pick something he doesn't like @Sinn. Just because we aren't together, she's still his dd too.

Georgia , with Georgie as a nick name

Maybe Evelyn nn Evie?
You get long name and he gets a nn he likes?

Elena? Instead of Eleanor?

I like Annie, Evie and Nell.

He doesn't see the point of Georgia instead of Georgie as it's one letter different and same length. Georgie is probably my least favourite too, I actually prefer it for a boy.
He said he doesn't like Evelyn as it sounds too old fashioned, that's his response to Elizabeth too.

I prefer Eleanor but could mention Elena to him @Weenurse.

Annie and Matilda seem to be the two we both agree most closely on. Annie's top of his names for me and Matilda top of mine for him.

So maybe we have to just decide between those two!
Surname is Matthews, was thinking it would be identifying to say but I've name changed anyway and it's hard to decide first names without it, isn't it!

Annie Matthews is gorgeous!

I like his but I strongly believe people should put full names on the birth certificate - when applying for jobs it matters

Matilda Anne is nice. Her initials would be MAM.

Ps a bit outing but my name was never shortened to Bella

Annie Matilda Matthews- beautiful.

I tend to agree @stucknoue. On full names on bc, but equally wouldn't want a name on that I'm not happy to call them. If that makes sense.
I don't think Annie is so bad on bc as I don't think it's too nickname sounding.

I do like that @Atlasta.
He's going to be so fucking smug if we go with his name.

Annie & Matilda are both really beautiful

If both of you think they are both nice & happy with either, perhaps you need to meet & throw a dice

Or Matilda Anna

Annalise is a beautiful alternative to Annabel

Do you like any other names that could give the Annie shortening? (Suzanna, Diana, Roxanne, Antonia, Anna-Marie).

Eleanor is lovely, but not Nellie ('"not on your Nelly", or Nellie Olsen the nasty girl in Little House on the Prairie).

Rosanne Marianne

I think the lise part of Annalise is too similar sounding to Ellis. Don't really want a full name we never use and not keen on any of the other Annie names, just Annabelle.
Ex won't have that though.

Maybe Annabel is less likely to be called Belle than Annabelle?

What about Anne or Anna nn Annie?

Annie Matthews is 😍😍😍
