Dang DH throwin me for a loop!

DH and I have pretty much settled on names & I'm in love with the girls name we chose... Jaina May (May is the MN of both DHs grandmothers)

Back when we were making our lists, I had fought pretty hard for the name Danica.  I thought it was really pretty, and also spunky, and I thought Dan(n)i as a nickname was super cute.  He completely naysayed it.

During the time DH and I were losers and played a lot of Cityville on facebook, I created a bunch of fake FB profiles so that we could cheat.  I named one of them Danica OurLN.  This was probably about 3-4 months ago now.

DH just told me yesterday that ever since he saw that, he's been thinking now that he loves the name Danica, and would probably prefer it over Jaina, and didn't want to say anything before because his pride was at stake.  Now that I'm set on Jaina, I don't know if I could get back on board with Danica!  Damn him!! 

I guess this was more a vent than anything else.  I do still like the name Danica, but arrgh I love Jaina! lol  (and he does still like Jaina too, so it's not like he hates that name now)

SO what do you ladies think?  Jaina or Danica?

Both are nice, but I prefer Danica and I like the meaning of Danica more.

Personally, I strongly prefer Danica. Jaina reminds me of the Indian religion Jainism, and I'm pretty sure Jaina is a term used for female followers of the religion.

BTW I totally did the same Cityville thing with my stuffed bear...hangs head in shame.

I actually prefer Danica but that is just me.

You still have a while yet before your baby needs a name, you don't have to decide right now. Give it some time, think it over and then pick the one you think feels right.

Danicai do not know what Jaina is supposed to be.

Jane uh? Jain-ah?

Thanks for the input so far ladies.  I do still have lots of time to decide.  I just tend to get dead set on things

I absolutely LOVE the name Danica and I think Danica May is ADORABLE.

Jaina is NMS. It reminds me too much of the whole Jaiden/Jayden trend.

I much prefer Danica May as well. I wasn't sure on how to pronounce Jaina either. Maybe you could take both names to the hospital with you and see which one fits better after she's born?

I like both - but I think Danni is a really cute nick name so I'd have to pick Danica over Jaina...

I really like Danica.  Jaina seems made up to me, no offense.

Thanks everyone, no offense taken

I'm also a huge SW nerd and that is where I got the idea for the name

I prefer Danica even though it looks weird to me, every Danica ive met spells is Danika.

I absolutely love Danica.

Not a fan of Jaina at all.
