He's ambivalent about popularity, just wants a name recognized as a name. Our other two kids have real names but outside the top 100. Our other girl is Juliette. To the other pp, yes we like multi syllabic because our last name is one syllable with a hard vowel sound. |

Elena Liliana Virginia (I like Georgia better) Mariana Not ending in "ah" but similar vibes to names you listed and Juliette and/or Abigail Rosalie Lillian Hazel Adelaide |
Nice list. I knew a Mariana once. How about Helena, Cordelia, Anna? Or for non-"ah" names, Elspeth, Rosalind, or Bethany? |
I posted this list. I realized what I think you like, OP in addition to ending in "ah" sound, you want a soft consonant before it "La" or "Lia" and "Gia" is much softer/more delicate sounding than a hard consonant before the "ah" ("nah" or "va") for example. So maybe start exploring other options your DH might like there. |

| Francesca - I wanted to name DD this, but couldn’t get DH on board. |
All the names on your list are “recognized as names” though...it’s not like you made them up. Sounds like your husband just likes names that are a bit more common. How about Virginia? Or just Lilah instead of Delilah? |
Virginia is actually totally in the running. Currently in the top 3 (Alexandria, Virginia, Wendy). For some reason I don't love it the way I love the others. And he isn't even seeking 'love' so much as just he feels good about it. I have been feeling frustrated because while I think all of our top three are ok, I don't feel excited or in love with them like I have the names he's vetoed. So was trying to figure out what it is those are missing. |
