Finding it difficult to find a name we LOVE

I've got about 10 weeks left till little ones arrives we are still really struggling to find a name we absolutely love. One day I really like a name then I change my mind !! Think my husband is getting a little fed up of me now changing my mind every day 😅

We don't know what we are having but we have a little boy called ' Luca' I didn't know what I was having 1st time around either and this was the only boys name I liked at the time!

Girls names we quite like at the moment

Mila ( pronounced melah)
Ada
Cora
Coreen

Boys names we quite like

Hudson (although I think I've gone of this name)
Emilio
Kylo

I know some of these names will not be to everyone's tastes! And I'm not set on anything so would love some suggestions please 🙂 thank you

I'm not sure you have to LOVE the name. I think that generally when you love a person as much as a parent loves a child, you'll soon LOVE their names by association.

Just don't pick one you hate Wink

"Mila ( pronounced melah)". No-one will ever do that, they'll call her My-la.

Your boys names definitely need revisiting.

I read Mila as Melah (and I like it)
Also like Cora

Girl suggestions (my list but having a boy)
Ida
Hannah
Jasmine

Boy suggestions with a similar vibe (IMO)
Myles/ Mylo
Dylan
Jackson
Micah

@Caramelcap my husband actually suggest Mylo the other day ! The only thing that put me of was the TV programme 'the tweenies ' 🤦‍♀️

How would you pronounce 'micah ' as I did read this the other day but I'm my head I'm reading ot as 'mekah' which I kind of like! But not sure if I should pronounce 'mikah'

I love Mila and would pronounce it like you said. Cora is lovely too but I’m not so keen on Coreen. Have you considered Cara? That’s a lovely name.

I’m not keen on your boys names. What about Aiden, Levi, Kyle, Bruce, Eric or Harrison?

Nosetickle · 28/03/2022 21:10

Caroline is a lovely name too out Coralie/Coraline?

I’ve got about 5 days left and absolutely have no idea! Nothing stands out for me and I’m in a panic! Good luck finding your name!

I don't think there are enough Errols in the world personally

I don't think anyone has watched the Tweenies for over 10 years so kids won't know it from that.

Micah was on my list and I thought it was pronounced Me-kah as well but was corrected, apparently it's My-cah. If you like Me-kah you can spell it Mika 😊

None in the top 100 last year.
