What did you call your daughter or what would you call your daughter?
After some ideas for my own list.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?
Lumie123 · 28/06/2020 10:27

Well I have a long list but the only ones my DP likes are..
Alice
Isobel
Emma
Emily
Anna
All well known popular names, not that popular names bother me.

He likes Rosie, but I had a dog growing up called Rosie so doesnt seem right.
He doesn't seem to like names that are remotely out there or slightly unusual.

My DH was the same Lumie. One of our DDs’ name is in your list.

If you want to try for something unusual perhaps try looking together at a list of say top 100-300 names. This worked better than having him veto everything I suggested.

Emmapeeler1 · 28/06/2020 11:56

My DH was the same. I think your list is lovely though personally! I would go for Rose not Rosie though.

HalfBloodPrincess · 28/06/2020 12:23

So many lovely 'Rose' names that you could compromise on.

Rosemary
Primrose
Rosaline
Rosalie

Roseanna is my favourite as it amalgamate a name from both your list

My 4year son chose our girls name which is due in october and I chose the middle name after my auntie who has just passed away. So her name is going to be Rosa Lin

Lumie123 · 28/06/2020 17:22

@Aim84 aww that's lovely, your boy has good taste. Congratulations X

Our girls names were Elinor, Willow and Cleo.....unfortunately I only had one daughter and Cleo is 9 now!!!!

EuphieKat · 29/06/2020 02:38

Lara. If I could have any more (I can’t) it would be Leia or Annelise. My 10yr old DD told me today that if she has a daughter one say she’s going to call her Sabine Rey...Hmm

earthyfire · 30/06/2020 00:01

I didn't use it but 10 years on from my shortlist I still love the name Amelia.

If I had another daughter now I'd use Lydia and Veronica as middle names but not sure I'd use Amelia as it is so popular.
I also like Eliza but couldn't use it as my daughter's middle name is Elizabeth.

earthyfire · 30/06/2020 00:03

Oh and I really like the name Primrose but don't think I would be brave enough.
