Help us find a compromise?

Kaleburger

DH and I have very different naming styles. Our ideas seem very different and we both dislike nearly every name on the other person's list. Can I get some insight on our lists to maybe find a compromise?

Emily

Julie

Kathy

Laura

Neely

Virginia

Corina

Lua

Eliza

Fiona

Nora

Ruby

Matilda

Coraline

Eloise

Middle name is set on Dawn, last name is like Hoffman. Thanks!

Kaleburger

Oh and DS is Grant James if that matters.

yeah.

Also, on your lists- Virginia, Nora and Eliza seem to intersect the two styles the best.

What about Elizabeth nn Eliza?

DaisyZH

Coraline and Corina are pretty close, maybe Cora Dawn?

Amelia Dawn

Emma Dawn

Luna Dawn

Hazel, Daphne, Juliet, Laurel, Marianne, Sabrina, Elena

I like pp suggestion of Louise nn Lua.

Lua is Portuguese for moon, I assume that's where it came from? I think it is lovely if it means something to you.

Names that may suit one or (hopefully!) both of your tastes:

Jeneale
Tennille
Cora
Ivy
Iris
Rose
Laurel
Katerina
Evangeline
Lucille
Lucia
Emma (I know, popular, but w good reason )
Enid
Jewel
Tianna

Some are inspired by your choices, others a bit random. GL!

Thank you guys! I suggested Juliet last night, and we both agree we don't hate it but don't love it. That's progress. I'm going to gather all of these suggestions and show them to DH. I didn't know Lua was Portuguese, funny because he turned down Penelope calling it a "hispanic" name. Don't know where he pulled that one from...the first list is his, the second one is mine.

I like Caroline Dawn.

JaneArson

The second list is almost exactly the same as mine/DH's with Fiona, Ruby, and Nora being in our top 5. I'd like to echo @jburdet1 with the suggestion of Caroline which is also in my top 5 and seems like a good compromise between the two lists. We like the nickname Rory for Caroline.

I think I like Eliza From your list the best...Eliza Dawn Hoffman sounds great!! I also like Fiona and Nora!!! I'm also a little biased to Laura Dawn, Laura being my name and Dawn being my mothers
