Hi ladies I have 2 beautiful children and we are going to TTC #3 original.gif

DH let me pick their names, I was very set in my choices and I think after bad pregnancies and births he felt bad lol

However he has decided that this time its his choice!!! aaaahhhhh Tounge1.gif
I can see his point he did let me name our other and wasnt his first pick of names (of course he doesnt mind now)
Problem is im really not keen on his name choice sad.gif
(we actually agree on a boy name YAY but not the girls)

His fave name is ...

Hailey (spelt like that I actually dont mind the spelling not my top pick though, but its the name im not fond of)

Ive been through a BIG list of girls names that I like to see if he likes any too but he says no to everything.
The only names of mine he didnt mind were Penny and Indy (he liked Indy!) but he doesnt like the lengthened versions of indy)
So im wanting to know out of these names what order would you put them in if you dislike them etc could you still put them in order please id really love to see what you think
Also any suggestions of longer versions of Indy to talk to my DH about original.gif
NN would definately be indy though
Oh I havent mentioned my other kids names as I dont want anyone to know we are TTC soon I honestly dont mind if they dont make the perfect sibset they are both modern names but not unique

Hailey
Indy
Penny


Thanks heaps

I dislike all of them TBH, Indy is the only one that is almost ok but only as a nn.

Possible longer forms are:

Indira
India
Indigo

I'm not putting Indiana on the list as its personally one of my most disliked names (sorry to all the parents of an Indiana, no offence meant).

I love Penny but only as a NN for Penelope.

I like Halle more than Hailey.

I like Indigo. For that matter I also like Indy for Lucinda or Jacinda, but I don't know if anyone else would go for that, I grew up sawing the fronts off of names for NNs instead of the ends.

Thanks ladies I wont push him to much on this as he did let me name our older 2 original.gif
But he doesnt mind Penny and Indy so thought I might push a bit lol

Im not big on Indiana and nor is DH. I dont like Indira enough to use it. I will suggest India and Indigo to him (I really like india!!)

I actually love Penny. I think it is really cute.

I prefer Hailey spelt Hayley. But only because Hayley is my name and I can't imagine it being spelt any other way Tounge1.gif

I don't like Indy. But I do like Indigo.
