Dear Swistle,<\/p>\n

I was due with my baby Feb 14th and am now overdue, but still have reservations about my girl baby name!!! My husband has been incredibly picky, making agreeing on a name a true challenge. Luckily we agree on the boy name (we did not find out gender) which will probably be Owen Michael unless that just feels off when we meet him, then we would use our 2nd pick, Emmett Michael. Girl names that he likes that I also like are Jillian Ivy or Camilla Ivy. Girl names I really like that he is lukewarm about are Nora Ivy or Lillian Ivy. I also love Vivian or Charlotte, but he really dislikes both. Our last name is Krause, which is why I have some minor reservations about Camilla. Too alliterative? Especially when shortened to Cami Krause for a nickname? I do really like Camilla, but don’t know if that would sound funny with our last name. I also love the idea of Nora Ivy. Nora would be after my paternal grandmother Eleanor and Ivy after my maternal grandmother. Oddly enough my paternal grandmother texted me a name idea a long time ago and it happened to be Camilla which is funny since weeks later my husband put that name on his list. As far as Jillian, I had really liked that name initially, but have reservations about it due to Jillian Michaels and associate it with more a tomboy type name. At the same time it is similar to Lillian and Vivian which I love, but husband does not. Other girl names I like that husband does not include: Samantha, Savannah, Emily\/Emma (we can’t use these names due to someone else having this name, but we both like the names), Lauren, Scarlett, Juliet, Beatrice. Other than Emma\/Emily, husband dislikes all of these. As well as numerous others I have suggested! We do plan to have one more baby. This is our first.<\/p>\n

Who knows, maybe I’ll go into labor before you reply, but I thought I’d give it a shot!!<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alliteration is a matter of personal preference: some people love it and seek it out, others dislike it and avoid it. I am somewhere in between: I sometimes like alliteration and sometimes don’t. And Camilla Krause \/ Cami Krause sounds great to me.<\/p>\n

I also love the story of the name: that your grandmother suggested it, and then coincidentally your husband added it to his list a few weeks later. And I think it’s great with both proposed brother names.<\/p>\n

I love the name Jillian, too, if you take a look at the baby and she’s just not a Camilla. My association with Jillian Michaels is small, perhaps because I think of her as Jillianmichaels. Or I wonder if you’d like Julia? Or Gemma?<\/p>\n

I suspect that this is last-minute cold feet. I remember agitating over my babies’ names even in the hospital: it’s such a big choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
