First list

[veeboo]

Hi I'm 20 weeks and struggling to get DP to be enthusiastic about names. He hasn't made many suggestions and has vetoed a lot of perfectly good names. I can see us choosing something ridiculous in the emotion of the moment! I've listed below names I like and names he said he agrees with in the hope you can suggest others I can pose to him.

Names he has agreed with
Sadie
Robin
Olive (family name)
Neve

Austin
Louis
Max
Sonny
He also liked Chester/Dexter but I'm unsure.

Names I like but DP doesn't seem keen;
Alexander
Jack
Edward
Evan
Liam
Leo
Owen

Zoe
Georgia
Catrin
Erin

I only like Leo and Zoe. The rest I hate, sorry.

Clara
Rosanna
Nyla
Heidi
Iona
Elena
Cora
Lucia
Kiara
Seren

Theo
Caleb
Lucas
Reuben
Isaac
Evan

I love Sadie and Olive. In my opinion the girls spelling is Robyn. I've heard Robyn shortened to Bobbie.

From boys list, I love Austin, Louis and Max.

Robyn spelling does girls
I love olive and Sadie
For boys I love sonny and Austin and max and Chester

Some girls names suggestions
Edith
Margaret (Maggie)
Delilah
Ottilie (Ottie)
Roxanne

Boys
Eli
Ellis
Otto
Milo Miles
Otis
Rex

• Robyn spelling for girls

Thank you some great suggestions. I like Cora...wonder if I could introduce that. Also like Seren. We are welsh and know a few. Those that hate the list any suggestions?

Yes Cora is lovely
And Willa @veeboo

The only one I like from The top lists is Louis.
You will have to teach a compromise.

Reach not teach.

Well we do both like that name so maybe we have reached it already! I just don't feel sure we have found the one.

I really love Sadie, olive and Neve ❤

For a boy sonny and Austin x

Thanks @thinkingsticks. Maybe we've got the name already after all!

I love Olive and if I had a 3rd dd it would definitely be her name

Though other contenders would be

Florence
Greta
Madeline
Sylvie
Rosalin / Rosalind
Clara

Ivy
Iris
Rosie
Orla
Aoife

Might also suit your tastes

I'm not keen on any of your agreed boys list sorry, but will suggest

Luca
James
Otis
Rufus
Tobias
Nicholas
Rowan
Oscar
Zachary

Any you like?

Robin with an i, is commonly used for girls these days too - I prefer it. Much
Nicer than the traditional y

@veeboo. You actually gave plenty of time, try not to stress! Have a couple of options and see how you feel after the birth 🌷

Personally I prefer nearly all the names from the list he doesn't like and don't like any of the list your dp agrees with except maybe Max. However as this is his child and not mine, that needs to be your starting point. If he's said he doesn't like them, then cross them off your list and work through names you both agree with.

Great suggestions! Rosie has been discussed as a maybe. I love Toby not Tobias so much but DP dismissed it because of toby Anstiss! Such a non reason. I also like Otis but not sure I'm brave enough?!

Of course if he doesn't like a name we won't use i, I'm just trying to think of a few more he may like to widen our list.

I also prefer Robin with an I so would probably stick with that if we chose it.

@veeboo Otis is cool! I don’t think it’s too out there at all! It’s a great name ❤️
