Our Baby Girls Name...

[kahronah]

Well, my boys list got many rude comments that are hurtful but I thank those who were kind and helpful.
This is our girls list, it is a lot harder for us to narrow down because neither of us can agree on one we both like.

My list:
Ivorie, Emmie, Ezmae, Maezie, Darsie, Rozie and Mollie, he hates Mollie though even though it's my fav. :(

Hubby's list:
Leighyah, Amilliyah, Addelleigh, Maeleigh and Quinleigh

I will probably have to choose one of his picks. I wish he liked Maelie or Addellie but he don't.
Anyway if you have to choose which do you like the most? Xxo

@Monstamio Oh, I thought was meant as in my pregnancy was half term or something. Well no I'm not on half term nor a teenager and I was not joking.

@Cosmos45 Okay yes joke over I'm so sorry. You can go now bye.

Seriously if you're not going to be kind leave.

I would go with the conventional spellings it’s going to be a nightmare for her correcting all the time.

Your partner's list has some really odd spellings. Can't you compromise and use his name with better spellings?
You have to love the name op.

I like a lot of the names you've both listed, but I don't like the spellings. As long as you teach your daughter to be relaxed about it when people spell her name wrong, ok.
I'd say the names several times, use them in sentences as if they're toddlers, teens, grownups...

I like Amelia and Leah most from your list, but with the regular spellings.

For a girl you definitely need to consider

Again pronounced as it’s spelt. It’s really feminine

You're ridiculous.

You must be really bored.

Why do you hate your child?!?

Is this a joke?

Sorry OP, but the spellings are awful.

Why are your dh’s spellings so bloody ridiculous?!!

No kid wants a name they have to spell out!

In fact I just read a story about a woman who was disowned from her family because she changed her name

Her parents gave her Qur'stylle

Guess what it is? Crystal

Why would people get so sound up about how a total stranger spells their child's name. .

I used to work with someone who had changed her name from the "unique" spelling her parents had saddled her with to the traditional spelling. She was temping at our office while waiting for the go ahead to move overseas so she could married her fiancé - the deed pole kept delaying the process. She hated the awful "creative" spelling she'd been given and felt if reflected badly on her (even though it obviously wasn't her choice).

Visibility in the digital age - you might think that giving a child a unique name/spelling which make them standout it does but it also means they can't "hide". Google Katie Smith and it's impossible to identify an individual among the results without further information but make her Keighty Smyff and suddenly she would become highly identifiable which is OK in some circumstances but now try and avoid a stalker, or move on from a teenage moment of stupidity that gets into the press or cover up the fact that you were sacked from a previous job or distance yourself from some questionable social media posts.

But I suspect that the poster is actually running off to another chat site and bleating either "nasty Mumsnet posters were horrible about my baby names (without saying what they were)" or "ha ha they are so stupid on Mumsnet I made them believe that I was going to call my baby Bearleighlittereight."

@Awwlookatmybabyspider some of have parents who did it and know first hand what it's like to live with it.

OP isn't the one who is going to have to live with it, her kid is!

The names are lovely but Spell them properly or they will be forever correcting themselves on the phone as they get older.

@Soubriquet I'd have changed the whole thing, not just the spelling. Crystal is enough of a stripper name even if you spell it correctly.

Agree about your spellings. Just looks try hard. I would pick Esme from your list but spell it normally. Molly is god awful

Pretty sure this is a joke thread!

Sock yarn😹

Sorry but apart from Mollie I find the spellings confusing so don't know how they would be pronounced.

How about Emilia shortened to Emmie ( or Emmy)? That way you get a name from your list, he gets a name from his list ( Amilliyah is pronounced pretty much the same as Emilia), and your daughter gets a name with a normal spelling. Wins all round!

@Elizabella

I stand by Zur-Koniyya'a for first choice girl's name possibly with Jewel-Leigh for a middle?

Great ideas & so in keeping with the OP's list

Please don't burden your poor dc with a name that everybody will spell wrong and will laugh at behind your back. Please.

I like emilia nn Emmy but its better spelt Emmyleighya. Congrats on ur pregnancy btw. xx
