My husband hates all my girl names!

[tquints]

We just found out today that we're having a girl and my husband is in shock. He really wanted another boy (because he grew up with a brother and wanted the same for his son) and we were going to name him Euan Gregory Noel, (Gregory and Noel are family names). Our son, our only other child, is Jonas Joaquim Cecil (Joaquim and Cecil are also family names).

I've been throwing girl names at him for weeks and he just shoots them all down. I thought he would open up or offer his own after confirming that the baby is in fact a girl, but he truly doesn't like my names and has no suggestions of his own (a familiar scenario, I know). Here are my names, along with his ratings:

DH hates:
Perri Rayne
Hazel Noelle
Imogen Rayne
Harriett Noelle

DH doesn't care for:
Cecily Rayne
Calixta Rayne

DH is not quite sold on, but might warm up to:
Noelle Rayne
Annmarie Rayne Noelle
Sidney Rayne

I should explain that Noelle is a family name, on his side. Rayne is just something that I've liked since childhood, but I don't like one-syllable first names. He probably hates it anyway.

Please help me come up with some suitable suggestions, based on his taste (maybe some of you agree with him) and allowing for the middle names Noelle or Rayne or both. Also, our last name begins with a Q.

Thanks!

here are a few suggestions:

Violet Noelle
Eliana Noelle
Daphne Lillian

Lula (or Lola) (similar sound as in Euan?)
Lara
Araceli
Lucia
Olivia

Sienna
Stella

Thats kind of all over the place, but maybe something clicks or at least gives you some ideas? Agreeing on names is hard!

I love Noelle and Annmarie!! Other than those two, nms really. Maybe he would like more popular names, like Sophia, Olivia, etc., and y'all could compromise somehow? Congrats! We have a boy and just had a baby girl. It's great!

I love Hazel! Hazel Noelle is a great name.
Good luck, snd I hope he comes around soon.

[tquints]

Thank you everyone so much! It's nice to know that others appreciate my names after they were all rejected by my hubby. He and I just talked about names again and, as I suspected, he had a name up his sleeve all along. He wants to name her after his mother. So we compromised and we're using his family name that I love as the first name and her name as the middle. What do you all think?

Noelle Leonne

Our son has three names, so I feel like we should stay with that but I can't think of anything that goes well with Leonne. Any ideas? Thanks again!

Noelle Leone

Grace
Rose
Faye
Faith

Congrats again!
