DH asked me to post this thread lol , because we cannot decide and he is so sure his favs are just of better taste. We don't know the sex yet. He likes the names I like , and I like his. But "my" names just seem more beautiful. PLEASE DECIDE FOR US :

Levi or Daniel
Harper or Mary

Thank youuuu

Leah is okay out of the next list, none of the others for me.

Daniel and Mary.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 10/12/2020 22:23

Daniel and Harper. But I dont much like Harper either

TheDaydreamBelievers · 10/12/2020 22:25

In respect to update:

Tristan - hate. Very "upper class prat" to me
Matthew - nice and normal
Austin - like it
Manny - nickname, easy to take the mick out of, reminds me of the character in modern family

Zoe - pretty
Hannah - nice and normal like Matthew
Leah - my favourite
Cadence - describes music, running, or horses. Not a name

Levi and Mary

Nutellacoconut · 10/12/2020 22:31

Lollypop4 · 10/12/2020 22:32

QueenJulian · 10/12/2020 22:36

Unanaganaive · 10/12/2020 22:42

Then to be blunt, its your vagina that'll literally be broken, not your husband's and not anonymous Mumsnetters. If it's a boy call him the name you love (Levi) opposed to one's he likes Grin

SionnachRua · 10/12/2020 22:46

Of your original names I really like Levi, Daniel and Mary. Hard to choose between Levi and Daniel but if pushed I'd choose Levi.

Of the second group I like Austin and Zoe. I like Tristan and Cadence too but not sure I'd want to be called that iyswim. Hannah and Leah seem a bit generic and can't stand Manny!

TheCraicDealer · 10/12/2020 22:47

Tbh I really, really dislike Levi but if your heart and fanny tell you that's the one, and he's had two kids to name already, I'd say go for it. Reluctantly! Grin

DramaAlpaca · 10/12/2020 22:48

Daniel & Mary from your first list.

Matthew & Mary from your second.

Not Cadence. It's not even a name.

Awrite · 10/12/2020 22:51

From your original list - Daniel and Mary

From your revised list - Matthew and Hannah

I see you like Nina. Love Nina.

lovescaca · 10/12/2020 22:53

Only Harper, dnt like the rest

tinselfest · 10/12/2020 22:57

@Firebird83

Ha. No it isn't.

It's from the bible. It's a Hebrew name. It means joined in harmony.
