Do you prefer my or husband's favourite name ?

[Unanaganaive]

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

Levi and Mary

Levi is ok. Bit dated now suely. Was terribly trendy 25 years ago.

Harper is awful. I really dislike it. Harpie is not a good nn but it is an instictive one :-/

Daniel and Mary are lovely.

I'm not a massive fan of either of your choices tbh

Mary and Daniel are nice enough but a bit dull

Harper and Levi are a bit trendy/ try hard

Isn't there a middle ground?

Mary is already back, I know a few Marys.

Besides, it’s always better to be ahead of the curve with these things. Otherwise you’re lumbered with just another generic, of-the-era name.

Depends on how they sound with surname but I only like Daniel from that list and it's quite popular/common! There must be other names to consider.

Daniel is a lot nicer than Levi imo.
Not really keen on either girl's name but of the two I'd choose Harper.

I only like Daniel, sorry.

Daniel and Harper
Mary is a frumpy name imo

What about Leo instead of Levi ?
Harper is just awful. Cant tweak that!
Mary is refreshingly simple now after years of isabellas and amelias and olivias (all nice names)
But Mary is beatiful in its simplicity.

Also love joy, anna, beth in the same way.

I love the name Levi. Is it Paul Young who named one of his kids that, a girl though. Always thought it was so cool.

They had a grady as well.
Gray is ok. Better than harper.

Levi and Harper.

Daniel and Mary are just meh.

Levi and Harper, I really don’t like Daniel 😬

Levi (or Daniel) and Mary (not Harper).

Daniel and Mary for me, although I would prefer Mary to be Maria.

I don't like Levi and Harper. Levi is a pair of designer jeans. Harper maybe a brand of booze or something like that.

Daniel and Harper

Levi and Harper.

I had 4 Daniels in my class at school alone and Mary is just no.

I think Harper and Levi are awful. Mary is ok but quite dull and old-fashioned.
Daniel is lovely.

Daniel for the boy
Mary is better than Harper but not as great as Daniel.

Daniel and Harper.
Mary is terrible! Far too frumpy and old fashioned. But that kind of name seems to be what the majority of mumsnetters prefer.

Levi and Mary

I think Harper will end up being a name like
Louise or Lauren and be associated with a certain time and sound dated in future.

As a PP said, it doesn’t have to be any of these names OP. If he doesn’t like your favourites and you don’t like his then you keep looking till you find something you both like.

So neither of you gets your favourite but maybe you both get your 4th or 5th favourite if that’s one you both like.

I like the simplicity of Mary but would personally add a fancier middle name for balance.

Daniel and Mary
