Names that DP might like

[KnobwithaK]

So DP is proving to be pretty fussy when it comes to names, and it also faiibg to come up with many suggestions

So far he actively likes:
Sophie
Maia/Mia

He is also open to:
Zoe
Cora
Rachel
Laura

So, 2 syllables. Fairly "classless" (definitely not pretentious/posh).

Any ideas?

Do any of these work? All 2 syllables and not attached to a particular class.

Isla
Ada
Ruby
Lucy
Nina
Lilah
Orla
Clara

Clara
Ada
Violet
Darcy
Ellen
Ruby
Zara
Heidi
Elsa
Chloe
Maisie
Abbie
Tara
Casey
Esme
Layla
Cleo
Rosa
Becky
Anna
Scarlett
Robyn
Sadie
Kendall
Jasmine
Eden
Phoebe
Freya
Christa
Libby
Aimee
Mya
Lucie
Molly
Hazel
Kayla

Thanks!

Nina is a new one.. I'll ask about that.

I thought Anna would be a shoo in but apparently he knew one as a teenager and didn't like her so it's out

I love Hazel but he doesn't like it sadly

Rosie
Millie
Emma
Connie
Posey
Daisy
Poppy
Thea
Scarlet

How about Lauren instead of Laura?
Or Lara - that's so pretty

Lucy
Amy
Alice
Sarah
Zara
Katja
Klara or Clara

Alice is "too posh" (wtaf?). Lara is really nice, I will try with that..

Erin
Bella
Hallie
Evie
Cassie
Megan
Georgia
Ella

Edith (Edie)
Sadie
Greta
Willa
Cora
Holly
Mabel
Martha

I think he likes similar names to me. How about Clara, Sienna, Evie, Gabriella, Emma ?

Well don't pander to him, what do you like? There just be something you can come to a mutual agreement on?

Boireannachlaidir ha!

I tend to like longer more interesting names (Sylvia, Beatrix, Elisabeth..) but we do have some mutual agreement: Laura, Cora and Sophie). It's just easier to come up with things that he might like and then see if I like them too if that makes sense?

Lara: "too posh"
Nina: "not posh enough" 😂

Sophie is a really lovely timeless name. I much prefer it to Sophia

His surname by any chance?

If so you get to choose - the end.

And if he's not willing to come up with names and thinks he gets to sit there being fed them and passing judgement... then stop bothering and call your baby what you like!

@FizzyGreenWater mine (his as an additional middle name) so I probably should allow him some input!

Hannah
Louisa
Emily
Claire
Isla
Alexandra
Catherine
Helen
Eleanor
Elizabeth
Bethany
Lydia

Ruby
Anya
Nina
Rebecca
Catherine
Sarah
Joanna
Hannah
Megan
Jessica

I know some of these are longer but you'd likely shorten it most of the time, I guess? (Jess, Cathy, Becky etc)

@pinkpinecone yeah, I agree about Sophie. Only problem is that my BFF from school (who I now see maybe once a year if that) had a baby this year and named her Sophie! I haven't totally ruled it out but it's making me pause..

@VirginWestCoast lots of those are good but are already in our close family (one is my name!) so sadly ruled out.

I really like Megan but he it out off by the royal connection..

Sophie is a beautiful name
Megan is also great and the connection wouldn't phase me. Meghan name is spelt differently anyway

Sophia
Lila
Laila
Lilia
Lydia
Hallie
Heidi
Elsa
Ella
Olivia
Orla
Ada
Amelia
Chloe.
Cara
Freya.
Bella
Delilah
Emilia
Nina

Zara.
Hannah
Keira
Rosa
Louisa
Tessa.
Leah.

Good on your name OP!

Ok - I love Sophie, it's timeless, and feels totally different to the overused Sophia.

Similar maybe:

Saskia
Sadie
Lucy

Lola
Hebe
Tara
Josephine (Josie)

Margot
Stella
Willow
Lily
Heather
Saffron
Romy
Elsie
Cleo
