A name that started as a joke

booopcooop · December 2015

Ever since ds was born, Dh has been insisting that he gets to name our next child (he like DS's name, but I guess he didn't pick it out). He always jokes that he is going to name our next child "Ile" which is Eli (ds), backwards. Obviously I told him that is ridiculous and we can't do that to our kid. We've decided on Issac for a boy, but the name I like for a girl is actually Isla.. Which is a lot like the joke name Ile! Family know that dh calls the baby Ile, so it will be difficult to hide the origin of the name. Any other ideas for a girl? I like Isla Grace and Elise (which is too similar to Eli).

I think Isla is also way to close to the point of cheesy with Eli

Grace is nice in the FN spot IMO

Eli and Sofia
Eli and Lucy
Eli and Claire or Clara
Eli and Lauren
Eli and Paige
Eli and hazel
Eli and Hannah

how do you even pronounce "Ile"? sorry. i read that whole thing and the whole time i was trying to roll that around in my head. lol.

anywho, i love the name isla. isla grace is so pretty and i don't think it's too close to eli. elise... yes.

isla was one of my top picks but i can't get DH behind it...
