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?

Honestly, you grew her, you birthed her- everything else being equal I think you get to have your favourite name and he should be the one getting used to it.

Clara and Cara are incredibly similar. He can't get his head around adding an 'L' and calling her Clara?

Good luck to any man arguing with a woman still wearing a post birth diaper thingy.
