We like both, partner prefers one I prefer the other can't decide

OP posts:

What a stupid comment. How am I supposed to know that the names I like are clearly different. Did it make you feel good making such a snotty comment.

It's not a stupid comment. OP has asked for help choosing between two short, two syllable names with the same endings. You've provided a list of long frilly options which bear no resemblance to her choices. You can see that easily by comparing Lucy and Katie with your list.

I prefer Katie (well Kate beat of all).

Lucy is a lovely name and I personally wouldn't have associated it with Letby !Why even suggest that?

Both very 80s/90s

Neither Both too common. Go for something original.

Something'younique'?

I really like both but my preference is Katie. I wanted to use it but DH wasn't so sure. We settled on Caitlin eventually because it sounded a bit similar.

Lucy.

MerryMarys · 17/09/2024 07:11

Actually now I can't unsee Letby from Lucy, so I'll go for Katie

Lucy.
Such a classic and strong Christian name (St Lucy).
Bringer of light.

I hate that Letby brings shame to a lovely name, like Rose West ruined Rose for a while😔
