Help, she’s here but doesn’t have a name

Really struggling as we’ve either used our favourites or have family/close friends who’ve used them.

Need something short, unfussy to match siblings.

Names we kind of agree are a maybe:
lsla, Lara, Ava, Lyla, Kayla.

I also like Erin and Cara. He doesn’t.

He likes Clara and Layla. I dont.

We’re not miles apart really, but can’t find a solution. Probably because we’re overthinking it, but none stick out as feeling ‘right’.

Any thoughts/suggestions please. Any advice if you didn’t really have a favourite or couldn’t agree with partner so had to settle on a ‘maybe’ name. Did you grow to love it? Do you still have second thoughts?

Carla? Rosa?

Or Leila

As opposed to Lyla

Firstly - name your baby what you want - if your best friend has used your favourite, who cares?! If you’ve dreamt of using a name all your life, use it!

if you really don’t want to, how about Kira? Lyra? Mila?

Lana, Ilana, Alana, Alannah, Elena (I’m sure there are more variations) are beautiful!

We had a lot of issues with names and was very lucky 3rd was a girl otherwise we could still be disagreeing!

What about also for shorter names...

@oopsnowits4 DH absolutely loved a name, I liked it but wasn’t 100% sure. We went with it and I love it now, never had second thoughts.
I’m not someone that gets very hung up on “the one” though. I was the same with wedding dresses and husband! Picked one I sort of liked and it all turned out well 😂

AdaColeman · 22/12/2022 21:11

Another vote for Lana.

I also like Avril Gemma Jenna Gilda Ingrid Astrid.

The first name that came to my mine when I read your list was Katya
