I am 3 days overdue and still can't agree on a girls name..help!!!?

Question

Hi, I am pregnant with a baby girl and my partner and I still can't agree on a name. I am now 3 days overdue, so we need to come up with a name pretty quick!! The only thing we have agreed on is that her middle name will be Ann (as thats both our mums middle name). He likes simple, common first names such as Emma or Emily whereas I really want something a bit more unusual. He adamantly doesn't want anything too "pretentious" or "long" (as he puts it!). The surname begins with V and is quite foreign sounding (sorry, didn't want to put the whole surname online) Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've put a few questions on here before regarding names and have found the answers really helpful, although we still haven't come up with anything!

Answer 1

Keep the name simple. Unusual names can burden your child with 'loser' associations.

Answer 2

if i was going to name a girl i'd call her Rose short & sweet

Answer 3

Maria Ann

Chloe Ann

Mia Ann

Kayci Ann

Emily Ann

Ella Ann

Macy/Maisie Ann

Charlotte Ann

Abigail Ann

Bethany Ann

Answer 4

How about Jessica.  Obviously can be shortened to Jess/Jessie

Answer 5

some of my favourite girls names are olive, megan, chelsey, maeve, fleur, cara,ella rose, blaithnaid (its irish for flower pronounced blon id) or aoife (prounounced e fa) or my name kayleigh you could spell it lots of different ways kaylee ceili the irish spelling and comes from the word for dance.

good luck!

Answer 6

My daughter is Hannah which means gift of god.

However this was a compromise name as hubby didn't like my more adventurous taste.

How about Daisy, Jasmine, Isabella, Chloe, Jessica, Maria, Polly all of which are not unusual just not as common or maybe something that sounds simple but has an unusual spelling - Aoife (Eva).

Answer 7

Well I have a pretty childish name... So dont give her one of those names that only sound good until your about 18...  Need something elegant, mature, and lady like... I have always been a fan of Victoria or Vivica or even Jasmine... If you want to jazz it up you can name her Yasmine... Not too long of names... I like Vivica the most though... Then her monograms will be VAV...:)

Answer 8

Answer 9

Janae Ann  (rhymes with Renee)

Bree Ann

Gracie Ann

Shay Ann

Nevaeh  (heaven backwards)

Summer Ann

Kaira Ann  (call her Kye, rhymes with eye)

Ami  (Ah-me) Ann

Answer 10

Clodie Ann

Avery Ann

April Ann

Harley Ann

Lilly Ann

Morgan Ann

Sienna Ann

Maybe you could chose a simple, common name but change the spelling?

Eg. Emma - Emmah

      Carly - Karlie

Choose names you both like and mix them up for a truly original name?

Choose ancestors names and mix up the letters to create a modern unique name?

Hope I helped x

Answer 11

I'm having a boy - but if I were having a girl she'd be named

Adyson Grace Louise.

I like the name Adyson - addison - addyson... but Grace is also a name you could maybe agree on! :)

My youngest daughter's first name is Sawyer and her middle is Reed.

Good luck!

olivia

grace

lillie

lacey

paige

summer

savannah

Answer 20

How about Grace or Ava

Answer 21

One of my favorite baby girl names is Bella or the longer version Isabella.

Answer 22

I agree that you should keep it somewhat simple with having a hard last name. But Emma and Emily just don't flow right with Ann. Have you been to the baby name Wizard website? The link is below, it's a great help.

Answer 23

I don't think Emma sounds good with Ann at all.  Emma Ann runs together because of all the A's, like "Emmann".  Emily Ann works.  Compromise on something simple and well known but not so popular as Emma or Emily (point out there will be tons of Emmas and Emilys in her generation and she will feel one of the crowd).  

Alice

Brooke

Claire

Dana

Ella

Faye

Georgia

Hannah

Imogen

Jenna

Kiera

Lauren

Maya

Naomi

Paige

Rachel

Sarah

Tanya

Verity

Answer 24

Answer 29

Try old names that are just soming back into fasion. My name is Evie and as I was growing up I thought it was a very different name and although it still kinda is it is coming into fasion more. Try Gabriele or Elizabeth.
