Please any recommendations, preferably different, not the standard ones I see on all of the top charts.

DH and I just cannot agree on a name! Its become stressful to the point it’s not enjoyable anymore.

Something that could be bi cultural would be even better

Go through this list from the bottom up with your DH and see if any get a tick from both of you

When you say bicultural, it kind of depends which two cultures you mean!

Agree with PPs, though: give us a heads-up as to which 2 cultures?!!

QuinoaWest · 26/09/2019 23:42

If Arabic culture is one of the two, Omar is easily spelt/pronounced/
familiar in many countries.
