So i have a beautiful six month old girl.
We named her Noelia, pronounced No-el-e-ah. For anyone wondering its a version of the name Noelle.

I really don't know how we ended up with that name. My husband was SO DIFFICULT, we literally went through the top 100 girls names and he just went hate it - hate it - hate it. He only wanted Noelle but i didn't want to name a baby born in summer a Christmas name, and then i found another version of the name- Noelia, and that's what we settled on.

Well shes six months old now and i just can't get on board. Whenever someone asks her name i cringe a bit, knowing I'll have to pronounce it a few times and then feel like i have to launch into this explanation of it. And I've set her up for a life of that :-( I know changing her name would be a bit embarrassing and again I'll have to explain it to EVERYONE but I don't wanna feel this way forever. Problem is I know my husband would definitely say no even if i decided that's what i really want to do...

Thanks everyone you've actually made me feel loads better about the name! To be honest everything's a bit stressful at the moment with work, money and a house move and i think I'm obsessing about this name thing more than i usually would be.

I'll try out a few nicknames and see what sticks, some great suggestions on here! I can't wait till shes 4 and can just tell me herself what she wants to be lol
