Husband has changed his mind about the name

[5longdaystogo]

Due a girl in 5 days

We had agreed on Nina

Now hes saying he finds it hard to say, hes not sure, but has little other suggestions.

Names he previously suggested

Frankie
Anna
Charlie/Charlotte
Nisha/Naoise
Chloe
Renée

This is outing but the name he likes is Leah which is my name obviously we cant use that but i dont know what to suggest?!

Nia?

I would go with Leah!!

@GoatsInBoats

How is Nina hard to say?

I think he means it doesn't roll off the tongue

DH has now suggested Cara?

Cara is lovely - I was about to suggest Cara, Lara, Sara or Zara!

@finallychangedmyusername

Cara is lovely - I was about to suggest Cara, Lara, Sara or Zara!

Ugh just realised Cara really doesnt go with other surname 🙈

What about Neala? It's Irish and similar to Nina and Leah.

Anna is lovely, so classy.

I know it's seen as a bit granny but Nuala is pretty.

Anya, Lena, Orla, Iona, Isla, Nia, Naomi, Phoebe, Freya, Xena!

Carina
Romina/Romy
Clara
Phoebe
Holly
Freya
Gemma
Anya

Nina is gorgeous but does make me think of nee naw!

Lara is gorgeous and I like Nisha. I knew a girl called Lesia (pronounced Lesha) which I always thought was a nice name.

Shona?

I don't think Nina is hard to say at all? but Anna is lovely and classic.

What about Laoise? A really pretty name and very similar to Naoise and Leah.

Naoise is gorgeous.

Also, how about Niska? (I’ve only heard it before in the TV series Humans but love it.)

Ciara is lovely too.

How about Nyla?

How about Fia/Fiadh?

If you like Anna but find it too popular, what about Anneliese?

I love Lara as suggested by previous posters! I'd use it if I had another daughter

Ha! I had to name change to comment on your thread.

My name is Leah, and my mom and little sister are named Nina.

Love both names!

If you're after a similar vibe to Leah how about another Old Testament name, such as:

Jemima
Abigail
Miriam
Esther
Hannah

What a dilema OP! However, with so many names out there I think any of us trying to name a child have been there one way or another

I know of one Nina, her nickname was Neenaw...so yes I do like it but I can see perhaps why it wouldn't be used.

When I read over your post the names that came to mind were:

Lily/Lillia
Ava
Leila

We have recently found out we are expecting a baby boy, typical that we have had a girl's name picked out forever!! (Seren Elizabeth)

All the best I hope you agree on a name soon!

Aw, I love Nina!

It was on my shortlist, along with:

Kate
Rae
Lyra
Zora

I love the name Seren, i would have definitely considered that too but our surname also ends in an N and so it doesnt go.

Well he's basically now said we will go with Nina, i think he kept saying it over and over whereby it lost all meaning and sounded weird 🙈 which is the case with any name. Hopefully he doesn't change his mind again before she gets here
