Husband or mine names part 2

[Depakote]

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?

Alba is horrid, but it's better than Levi-Lily.

Alba Lily as a compromise? I can't bring myself to put a hyphen in but you could.

Lily is lovely though, so simple and pretty.

I like Harper and Levi. They are different!!

What about Tiger Lily

Levi-lily is hilarious 😂
It has the word Evil in the middle

Alba really is horrible. Just as bad as Levi-Lily.

Levi-lily sounds like a drag name! Alba all the way. Just start calling her Alba OP there's not much he can do if you start using the name

Agree to call your next child Levi, then get your tubes tied.
Has he explained why the obsession with Levi? I’m intrigued.

Personally - hyphenated first names sound common, cliched and outdated to me.

Levi-Lily sound like the name of a pharmaceutical company.

Alba is lovely. On it's own

Congratulations on your new baby!
Levi is a male name and is in the bible, so unless your baby is in fact a boy and you are religious, that's not the name for you.
Alba is lovely. Alba Lily? Sounds pretty.

Why give a girl a boy's name

Are you pronouncing Alba as Al-a-buh?

Congratulations!

Are you planning to stop at one? I think I said this on your other thread but since he loves Levi so much I'd save it for a boy. There's a Hebrew girls' name Levana(h), but apart from that I can't even think of a girls' name that's similar.

How about Alba Lily (no hyphen)? Or Rosalba (legitimate Italian name, means white rose)? Or Lee Violet? 🤓

Harper Rose is fine with out a hyphen.

Lily or Alba are also fine.

Levi-Lily is horrendous

Alba means dawn in Spanish. It was the name of the daughter in the book The Time Traveller's Wife.
I remember thinking it was nice as a name.

My ex suggested awful names, I tried to compromise but we ended up not having a name when she was born.

Just after I had given birth I decided on her name, ex said he wasn’t sure. I honestly couldn’t have given a monkeys what he wanted to call our daughter at that point. After carrying our baby and giving birth, whilst he just merrily sat back and suggested rubbish names, I decided that actually, he can bugger off. On this occasion, after everything I had gone through to bring our daughter in to existence, I was having the final say on the name! I think this is one of those times OP (I let him pick the middle name).

Levi is awful.
double barrelling is awful.
out if all of the names from your thread, I’d go with Alba.

Massive congratulations on baby.

Levi is a biblical BOYS NAME!

And Levi-Lily is possibly the worst name I've ever heard suggested on here. It's chavvy and just doesn't even make sense? Why Levi-Lily? Why not David-Daisy or Reuben-Rose or Paul-Poppy if he likes the combination of a BIBLICAL BOY'S NAME hyphenated with a popular girl's flower name?

And hyphenated names are just the worst anyway. Even two nice names are ruined by a hyphen.

Alba is lovely and ancient and classy and different and pretty. Go with Alba.

Bloody hell, what is wrong with men when it comes to choosing baby names? Are they serious or just trolling us? I feel for you OP. My DH is equally as bad.

If he wants something short and a bit 'different', how about:
Juno
Lux
Noa
Liv
Or literally any name under the sun except Levi-Lily?

That’s a dreadful name. I agree with PP — you’re going to have to play the ‘I’m the one who carried her and gave birth to her’ card.

No to Levi, if he wants something g unusual how about

Star
Luna
Lola
Jupiter (although I hate this, but not as much as Levi)

Alba is nice, as is Lily. Both very useable.

Not Levi. Livvy as a pet name for Livia or Olivia is nice. Or Libby from Liberty or Elizabeth.

PP suggestion of Liv is also nice.

It sounds like the L sound is what he likes??? So I'd probably compromise on either Lily Alba or Alba Lily.

No we are not religious and she is a girl. I really dislike boys' names for girls. You'd never see a little boy called Olivia or Rose. He thinks somehow adding the Lily makes it masculine. And he gives the "argument" that boys names a more serious.

Levi-Lily is one of the worst names I have ever heard

To be honest, that is very true. She only is 4 days old. I am still in pain and Mr. gives me a hard time. I tried to compromised, but I think I might call her my favourite name. Margot. That was my girl's name before all the Levi started.

Levi-Lily is an even worse name than Harper-Rose.

Wtf is your husband thinking?

If he's said he likes the name Alba then at this point I would just book an appointment and go on your own and register her as Alba.

Suggest Levi-Jean to him
