I am due a girl in May and we are no name ideas.
Nothing feels right.
We have a son called Henry and have a one syllable surname.
I always planned on using Evelyn after my grandmother but that just doesn't feel right as a first name. And something about it makes me feel a little... uncomfortable? So it will most likely be her middle name.
I like longer names, but I don't really like what some shorten to. For example Genevieve - Gen, Valentina - Val/Tina, Penelope - Penny, Magnolia - Maggie. My in laws are big fans of shortening names so it will happen whether I like it not and I would rather not hate it.
My husband has vetoed many of my suggestions - Margot, Astrid, Iona, Echo, Tabitha, Ophelia. And I have vetoed his - Hannah, Henrietta, Sarah etc.
I don't know where to look for any good suggestions, every thing is either the most popular names or very obscure.
Help?!
