ANOTHER BABY NAME DILEMMA

[loopyredangel]

We have just found out we are pregnant with our second child!!!! I have a name for a boy - Jack, but for a girl I am totally stumped, I always liked the name Amber, but I have gone off it recently, and quite like the name Tilly, but my husband doesn't like it, he quite likes the name Mia or Maya, and Grace has popped up a few times, but there are so many Graces' around. We wanted something a bit different for a girl. What do you think? Personally I quite like Tilly!

Oh no, not Maya-Amber, people will pronounce it Mayaramber.

why the hyphen, out of interest?
I think each alone is pretty but wouldn't use them together...

Don't know why I put the hyphen in really! I agree Maya Amber doesn't have the same ring to it! Oh my goodness, what a decision to make. Amber Maya hmmmm, oh for god's sake, Maya Grace, AaRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know a maya

I'd better be having a boy!!!! Jack after DH's grandad! Nice and simple!

i love the name Jack, but i don't want my kids to have the same name as lots of other kids. And i can't think of another boys name i like.

Maya is becoming really common among my friends and friends-of-friends - I know at least four without even thinking about it very hard.

As if it's not hard enough to make a decision just found this site - there must be thousands of names on there - www.babynamesbase.com/boy-names-j-0.html

how are you proncouncing Maya? With an i sound or an a?

I know some Maya's too, so you may find she wouldn't be the only one.

If you want it with a hyphen, I think you should go for Maya-Grace, Maya-Amber doesn't go right together, imo.

Hiya,

My DD is called Matilda- we shorten it to Tilly or Tilda. Mostly she gets called Tilly at the moment. Her middle name is Honey (which her brother chose!).

It is also my middle name- but at school I HATED IT! I was SOOOO embarressed about it! Funny how it all changes!

I wouldn't go with Maya-Amber, names are very strange when the first & second end/begin with the same vowel!

Maya-Grace is lovely!

I love Ruth & Scarlett.

Just found yet another name - Robyn - it has a lot of meaning as my DH's grandad gave a robin to his 2 daughters one christmas before he past away, and everytime we face a tough time a little robin tends to fly and sit in front of us, as if it's a message from DH's grandad saying everything will be okay!
Do I sound crazy?

Why not spell it Robin?

Because, Robyn is the girls spelling.

I know two girls spelt Robin. Nothing is fixed these days!

I know more boys named Robin, though. Robyn is nice, and Robyn Oakley flows well.

Do you want the good news?.......... Hubby loves it too!!!!! So I think we are settled at last, you watch we will end up having a boy!!! LOL

I still love the name Maya, so I think it's going to be be Robyn Maya Oakley!!!!

Robyn's lovely!

Why not call your Son (if you have one), Robin instead of Hector???

WE had already decided on Jack as a boy's name, after DH's grandad. Dare I ask why Hector?!?!?!?

Sorry must be another thread someone's decided Hector, I must keep up with threads!

good choice, loopy

Robyn is very nice, and also unusual so she should be the only one in her class! Goes well with middle and second names too.

I love Robin, but I don't like Robyn as a spelling. I don't think it matters these days how you spell it. There was a girl called Robin with and i in the Chalet School books and they were written in the 1940s!

Wasn't that a nickname, though -- she was called "the Robin" for some reason that escapes me but her real name was something different?

[lemon belatedly realises that pretence of being a studious type who never read the Chalet School books is crumbling]

that I know her name was really Cecilia ...
