Hey, it's me again lol. Baby is born, and it's girl. She still doesn't have a name.

Husband and I are still "arguing" about the name because he is picking , what I find, a ridiculous name! He dropped the "Harper-Rose" when I showed him the comments. But now he's determined to have her named "Levi-Lily" Please tell me it ridiculous because his mother thinks it's a good name.

We both like the name Alba, but he keeps saying she looks like a Levi-Lily. No. She does not. Anyone like his choice?

Nobody looks like a Levi-Lily. Ridiculous!

20viona · 24/07/2022 19:31

Alba. Levi - lily absolutely ridiculous

CheshireCats · 24/07/2022 19:32

I do not like Levi Lily.

awwbiscuits · 24/07/2022 19:33

What on earth!

GoldenSpiral · 24/07/2022 19:40

Oh dear god. Levi-Lily is awful.

Alba is much better.

BoredOfGrey22 · 24/07/2022 19:42

Levi is absolutely awful.

Lily is a nice name. Could you go for that as a first name?

C0mfyChairP0se · 24/07/2022 19:44

Alba is lovely.

Would he agree to alba lily, or alba Rose?

I agree levi-lily sounds terrible.

itssquidstella · 24/07/2022 19:45

Alba is a gorgeous name.

Lily is nice. Levi is nice for a boy. Levi-Lily is AWFUL.

TheFoodtheFadandtheFugly · 24/07/2022 19:45

Levi is a male character from the bible, if that helps. Jeans-Flower.

BruceAndNosh · 24/07/2022 19:45

Unless your daughter looks like a bunch of funeral flowers wrapped in a pair of jeans, No, she doesn't look like a Levi Lily.

Alba is nice, slightly unusual but not bonkers.

Levi liliy is bonkers

I proposed that. Should we named her Lily? He refuses. He wants a hyphenated name with Levi in it. I said HELL NO. So he agreed to go through names again, and we both loved Alba . So Alba was our name if it was a girl, and Levi for a boy ( I compromised).

Well after I gave birth, 3 days ago, he changed his mind. In the hospital. she still has no name because he is again starting with his Levi thing. Levi-Rose, Levi-May , Levi-Jane, but the ONE for him is now Levi-Lily. I hate it and find it ridiculous

Levi is a boy’s name. He is being ridiculous. Is he disappointed to have a girl?

UnityO · 24/07/2022 20:13

Omg no to Levi and Levi- Lily!

Lily or Alba much better!

And congratulations on your new baby!

Aquamarine1029 · 24/07/2022 20:14

I'd divorce him over the hyphen, honestly.

Olga03 · 24/07/2022 20:15

What about Matthew-Lily? Levi is a male name, not unisex. With this name there's a guarantee your daughter will be bullied for her name. Please stand your ground.

SpaceJamtart · 24/07/2022 20:20

Could it be her middle name? So its still part of her name
Alba Levi-Lily
Alba Lily Levi
Lily Alba Levi
Lily Levi Alba

WorkCleanRepeat · 24/07/2022 20:34

I could of got on board with Harper or Rose individually (minus the hyphen)

No to Levi girl. no to hyphens!

MrsTerryPratchett · 24/07/2022 20:39

A hyphenated boys name for a girl? What's not to like?

Would he think Robert-Lily was great for a boy? I doubt it.

yonce · 24/07/2022 20:47

It sounds like a stripper who's famous for jeans or similar!

Tbh I'd never normally advise anything like this, but I think you run out when he's not there and get her registered without him 😂 he's bloody bonkers!!

ANewNameANewDay · 24/07/2022 20:51

Why oh why are we still hyphenating names?! Tacky and tasteless.

Do your future stripper a favour and go for Alba!

Glitterbiscuits · 24/07/2022 20:56

Alba is an old cheap brand of electronics, like stereos.
Levi is a boys name, brand of jeans or a town in Finland.

Lily is nice.

HadEnoughOfBears · 24/07/2022 20:58

What was wrong with Harper?

HadEnoughOfBears · 24/07/2022 20:59

HadEnoughOfBears · 24/07/2022 20:58

What was wrong with Harper?

Oh hold on I didn't notice the hyphen!

PancakesWithCheese · 24/07/2022 21:11

Not a fan of Alba at all. But Levi-Lily is terrible.

Is he hoping to just wear you down until you agree?

WTF has his mum got to do with it.

Mumofgirls2017 · 24/07/2022 22:02

Noo his choice is AWFul. Go with Alba
