Please, tell my wife that her names suggestions are awful!

[Demainsdeslaube]

Hello everyone!

I am 5 months pregnant, and my wife and I are having a hard time agreeing. After weeks of "arguing", we decided to forget about all the previous names suggested before and make a new list.
I absolutely hate all the names she wrote down :

• Bradleigh ( her favourite)
• Dallas
• Paris
• Lisandry
• Helen ( The only one I like)

Whereas my favourite names are:

• Romy ( She likes it but not love it)
• Dahlia
• Neva

She is so sure, those are pretty names. Pleaaase help, she'll be reading all the comments!

I really like Helen, and Romy is OK. Lisandry just doesn't sound like a name; I'd think of Misandry or just Laundry!

Romy isn’t too bad but I’m not keen on any of the others I’m afraid, even though my horse bears one of the names in your list 😆 I think you both need to have a rethink and see if you can come to a decision you’re both happy with. If pushed I’d also say that you can have the casting vote because you’ll be giving birth and your wife can choose baby’s middle name if you give her one.

'fraid Romy just makes me think of Boris & Carrie's daughter and nothing' s worse than that.

Tbh It's the second person who comments about my wife being pregnant.

Maybe I should have wrote that we are a same sex couple. I thought the ' I am pregnant' and 'my wife' would do it.

But some names are boys and some are girls.

What sex is your baby? Or don't you know?

None of them are my cup of tea. I read Lisandry but all I hear is dysentery.

From your lists I like Paris and Dahlia.

I am not a fan of Bradleigh, but do like Bradford or Bradley. Congratulations on your impending bambino! We had trouble agreeing on a name for our last child, until they were seven days old. It ended up being the perfect choice for them.

All are terrible
maybe you might like Isla, Elsa, Reece, Dylan, (all for girls) ?

Bradley is a boy's name.

Paris and Dahlia are girls.

She isn't born yet, so we have time to think. But thanks!

Absolutely shocked at the number of people saying Romy is an awful name, it's beautiful!

Has to be Helena, not Helen. I just think 'to helen back' like off a Young Ones episode some years ago.

The rest are crap sorry. Bradleigh??? What? The? F???

Lisandry? Sounds like 'misandry...'

Sorry all hideous

Romy.

Is the Roamy or Rommy?

Roamy sounds as if they are a Romany. (might get teased.)

Dahlia is so pretty! What about Violet? Bluebell or Poppy - continuing with floral theme! I love Bluebell as could be shorten to Blue, which is an awesome girls name.

All of them are awful sorry!

It's a baby girl. Hence the eigh in Bradley. I personally do not like boys' name for girls.

If my wife had her way, she'd name our baby Carter or Parker.

Was Bradleigh for a girl???
I like Romy

How about Daphne instead of Dahlia?

Sorry only like Helen or Emma

And Tragedeigh made me smile

Blue as a girl's name.

Great. Especially if the surname is Brown, or White or Black.

How ridiculous.

All ridiculous except Helen

I once knew a Lisandro (male). Portuguese origin I think.

Cross post.

What's wrong with being a Romani? What if I told you my wife and I were both Romani?

Pfffff

All dreadful but HELEN?! For a baby in 2024? Yours are much better suggestions, love Romy!

Don’t panic and keep looking there’s got to be a name out there that you both end up loving. When I named mine it took looking for a very long time through thousands of names before we could agree! Also my friend had the same trouble agreeing with her partner and didn’t name the baby until 5 days after birth and she said they both agreed one of the names on their previous list just felt right when seeing the baby.
