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.

What names does he like?

Thanks ladies but only a few names I like from all of these suggestions!

Callie ( which DH did suggest but is the name of his bosses wife)
Hattie ( which DH has said no to!

Mabel - Dh hates

Romany - I like as we both have Romany blood - DH doesn't

Blaise - on my boys list!

No i don't have a connection to Devon, just liked the name.

Has he got any suggestions?

What about Ksenia?
I know 2 one pronounces the K and the other doesn't.

Seeker - his only suggestion is Callie

OK - then I would make him sit down with a baby name book and a piece of paper and not let him move til he has come up with 5 suggestions. Not including Callie if you can't use it.

Do you know what the Callie you know is short for? Callista, possibly? How about Cassandra shortened to Cassie?

Ksenia is presumably a mis speiiling of Xenia?

"spelling" obviously

Callie is short for Caroline.

I'm not into using a nickname and giving a longer name - if they are going to be callled it let it be on their birth certificate.
(I have a name that is the long version of what I am known by and it bugs me)

cassie is nice but my mum had a dog called this

Have just under 5 months to surgically remove DH from Xbox to look at name books!

Hmmm, can understand why DH isn't so keen on the original list (Dulcie and Kitty are ok), although also not keen on your DH's choiice of Callie - but then I prefer to give full names and then use shortenings as nn as it gives a child more choices when older.

What name are on your boy's list as this might help peope to come up with ideas?

Totally agree with your DH what an awful list of names.

You seen to like short, cute, girly names is that right? Why has your dh rejected your choices, what is it about them he doesn't like?

Sadie
Petal
Lexie
Roxie
Libby
Molly
Betsy
Tiggy
Suki

Zora
Miko

Mischa

Elsie
Jeannie
Lucille
Bess
Bonnie

Romilly

If your son is Devon how about Taymar. It is the name of a river in Devon/Cornwall I believe, but I have heard of girls with this as a name. I like it and it is fairly unusuall.

Tamar is nice.

Xylia? Zillah? Kyla? Mira? Anais? Mimi?

And I agree -- make your DH ome up with a list of ten names he really likes (which will at least give you both a better idea of his style and of where to find a compromise).

Or, rather than each of you coming up with separate favourite names lists, you could each go separately through a baby names book and make a list of any names that you feel you could live with for your DD (trying not to be too restrictive at this stage). Then the list of names you have in common is the one you then need to start narrowing down to arrive at a name you both like.

One of my great-aunts was named Tamar (pronounced taymar) Elizabeth and quite a character, there are lots of family stories about her. She was always referred to as Tamar-Elizabeth - as if Tamar wasn't unusual enough! I abolutely love this combination (perhaps its the familiarity) and would love to have named my daughter the same, DH wasn't keen though.

try this

I dont like you choice in names either, but each to their own

We had a cat called Tizzy when i was little

Why cant you have Blaize as a girls name too?

Or just call the child Devon, then you wont have to namechange

Harrumph, you didn't acknowledge anything on my list

Three more for you:

Piper
Zara
Tilly or Tilda

Lexie - on list when expecting DS - gone off it now
Roxie - another of my mum's dogs!

Sazisi - I like Piper and Tilly (DH not keen on Tilly)

VTTVN - 'just call the child Devon????'
and have a DS and a DD with the same name?!

It would save on nametags...

I know a Devon and a Paige.
Faren, Dixie, Lois, Lana
