DH has said NO to all my girls names suggestions....help!

[devonsmummy]

I have a very short list of girls names that I like and DH has said no to all......can you suggest anything along the same lines as these so I can try them on him ( that's if I like them of course!)

Cersie
Dulcie
Drew
Darby
Kizzie
Kitty
Kirby

he did initially say he liked Kizzie but has back tracked now.

I'm so sorry but I can understand your dh for saying no to you list

Names that may be similar to yours:

Cersie - Cerrie, Carrie, Connie
Dulcie - Lucie, Lily, Annie
Drew - no suggestions.
Darby - Ruby,
Kizzie - Millie
Kitty - Catherine
Kirby - I've got a friend whose dd is Koby.

What sort of names don't you like? Do you like popular names, or something a bit different?

Darcy

Don't like traditional names eg Hannah, Emily
don't want popular ie Olivia, Isla,

DS is Devon if that helps with what I do like

Did Darcie on list when pregnant with DS but it's gain in popularity has put me off slightly

Kirsty instead of Cersie
Lizzie instead of Kizzy.

catchastar - my mum is Ceri so that's a no
carrie - don't like
Connie - i like but Dh's ex has one in her family so that's a no from him
Lucy,Lily and Annie don't like
Ruby - too common
Millie - don't like
Catherine - No
Koby - no

Kirsty - reminds me of a girl from school
Lizzie - don't like

We're obviously not on the same wavelength as I don't like any of your original shortlist - sorry - but how about Keziah? It's got a similar feel but is a real name. You could even use Kizzy as a nickname.

lol.

i was going to say - end up having a c-section and assume you are going to die - he'll let you call her what you like (it worked for me, although i wasn't really in the mood to celebrate my victory lol)

but having read the list of names i'm afraid i agree with him lol.

what about edie? it's a bit similar to what you've got...
or
casey
sorcha
cerys
carys

i do like drew if i'm forced to pick one, but the only dru i know is short for drusilla. she's very lovely, but i fear it's not going to top the charts...

Keziah is lovely, it means "cinnamon flower" and you can use Kizzie for short

Tamsin
Rosanne
Meryl
Meredith
Rhiannon
Thea
Corinna
Olwen
Blaise

how about Dolly short for Dolores?

Katie instead of Kitty?
I had Lizzie on our list though. so our tastes probably don't match.
I like Heidi too, for the ee sound.

I can understand why your DH doesn't like them to be honest.
Cersie - Kirsty
Darby - Deborah shortened to Debbie
Kizzie - Elizabeth, shortened to Lizzy
Kitty - Katherine

Carrie, Kelsie, Romany, Rhiannon, Bryony, Cerys, Cadie, Chanise, Ebony, Lydia,

All nice uncommon names.

hmm I like Drew and Kitty but not enough to use them myself.

Jessamy
Polly
Flora
Mabel
Vita
Hattie
Jenna
Cody
Emerald, nn Emmie
Seren

Keely

Kezia (Kezzie)
Zilla (Zillie)

I've been trying to think of names that sort of go with Devon and aren't traditional:

Lana
Bree
Delia
Gala
Asha
Christa
Rowan
Callan (Cally for short?)
Lara
Liadain (Gaelic name, pronounced Lir-dun)

Darcey (as in Bussell the ballerina)?

Erin?

do you have a connection to devon?
what about tamar, or tamara?

I think ...

Your DH is very sensible and you should ask him for his thoughts

I was thinking Kezia/Keziah with Kizzy as a nickname too! Or maybe Cassia?

I have a friend named Casey, which I quite like.

I recently met a little girl called Kiomi - I think it is Japanese in origin. Very pretty and unusual.
