How do you compromise when your style of names you love are THIS different ?!

[Callieviolet]

So that basically…

My top 5 list -

Winter
posie
ceCe
Lux
Loveday

My husbands too 5 list -

Matilda
Jemima
Harriet
Louisa
Hannah

We have both vetoed each other’s list… not sure where to go from here to find a name we even like let alone love….

Sorry another one saying give control to your husband. But there must be a middle option. Your names are very out there / not names. What about looking a list of names together and picking a less common one but still a nice name.

Mean posters... who can't think out of the box. If you like a name you like it and not everybody thinks like them. Loveday is beautiful and just shows the ignorance on here, very old name....keep looking for one that your husband likes too though otherwise you may get the finger pointed at a later date.
Having worked in a school for many years, it is my experience that children don't give a about other childrens' names, they are accepting, it is the parents who have the problem. Also the myth of the bullying over the name, nah, that's the mean parents too.
Winter also pretty, you go girl x

Are the names you propose names of CEOs or Prime Minsters??????
I bet Suella and Tracey's mums were told this too 😂

Nope - due to my partner's very common last name I had to make sure I wasn't naming my child after a mass murderer or similar.

It's his fault he kept making jokes about horrible people with his last name....

Let Emily decide.

@Mimilamore , Suella isn't the name she was given as a baby

If I would you I'd listen to your DH

Hallie
Pearl
Autumn
Gigi/ Gia
Callie
Willow
Delilah
Hazel
Athena
Thea
Eleni/ Leni
Raya
Essie
Violet/Vivi
Alva
Aster
April
Enya

Hahahahahhahahahahahahah Loveday?!!! Eh

It’s an old traditional Cornish name!

Yes - but not a particularly good one.

LoveDay? Is that a typo?

I think you need to just find a middle ground? I don't think any of your names are bad, just personal taste. Also your husband can't dictate what she will be known as at school - use her full name until she decides her own preferred nickname.

Something like Juniper can be shortened to June (not suggesting this particular name, just an example and is kind of middle ground between your name types).

Delilah
**

My my Delilah
He's only gone and had his Weetabix...

You need an old fashioned, elegant, unusual name.

Iris
Ida
May
Pearl
Camille
Celeste
Phoebe
April
Lena
Alicia
Eliza
Edie

Thea
Imogen
Mara
Naomi

Would any of these suit you both?

Tamsyn
Kerensa
Cecile (very close to CeCe)
Clarissa
Sybil
Beatrix
Daisy
Lizzie
Tabitha
Lavender
Ivy
Gaia
Rhea
Elinor
Viola

Mimilamore , Suella isn't the name she was given as a baby
I am aware of this but she goes by it and it didn't hold her back...
Ridiculous snobbery if a child has to be named to fit the parents' idea of future careers!!

@Mimilamore , but she must have decided at some point that Sue-Ellen might hold her back

Violet is my middle name
😬 I actually hated it as a child as it wasn’t ‘cool’ when I was growing up. It was my grandmothers name.

Emily’s list:

Charlotte
Elsie
Lily
Faith
Grace
Delilah

and I quote ‘if you name my baby sister Lux or Loveday, I’m calling social services.‘

😐😐

How about Camilla? Any thoughts?
Nickname Milla.

Oooooh I like Essie!

I do love Emily’s view on your names!! Delilah is nice
