Leah/Lia/suggestions please

thegardener

We still have time as LO is only expected in Feb, but dh and I are having a difficult time coming up with a name. Although to be honest I was hoping to have 2 or 3 we agree on and then make the decision when me meet her. Too much to ask!

His list: Leah, Kate
My list: Lilah (my gran's name), Vivienne, Violet, Margot, Claire, Catherine, Elise.

He doesn't like ANY of my first names! I like Leah/Lia, but don't love it. Kate is too hard with our surname, which is a French double barrel name starting with De.

Do you have any other fn suggestions for me?

If we were to go with Leah/Lia, which spelling do you prefer?

Thank you

Nymbler brought up Madeleine/Madeline.

If you go with Leah, spell it that way

I get that Leah is the traditional spelling, but I think there is something really cute about Lia. MH likes Lia, but I'm not able to fully get behind it. What about Mia? Mila?

From your list I LOVE Violet, Margot, and Elise (although for some reason I know 4 people with that name and they all spell it Elyse -- one is MH's grandma, 2 my age, and one is a toddler).

Agreed with pp, I prefer Lia. Something about the "ah" ending just doesn't look right to me.

We did this, we have 2-3 names we both agree on for a boy and a girl and next week it will be 2-3 names for the gender, not gonna lie I love my names so I willbe bummed I don't get to use the gender we aren't having!!
Then we will "officially" pick when he or she is born

I like Leah, Claire, and Catherine from your list. I also like Vivian, but spelled this way. And I would definitely spell Leah as I wrote it.

I love Leah (spelled that way) it would be on my list but our surname has too many Ls in it!

What about Leila/Layla?
