Stop calling dads incompetent
Advertising that depicts men as being clueless insults those who are involved and active fathers. It also creates a escape route for those who want to shirk childcare and domestic responsibilities.

Hi name gurus,
We are due to have our DD2 in 5 weeks and finding a name this time round is proving to be so much harder. Our DD1 is Asha Willow. Our top 4 at the moment consists of: Ruby Ella Ellie Madison Other names we agree on are: Taylor Lucy Zoe Samara Perry (prob wont use as its a bit out there) Names that I love that DH has vetoed are: Milla Matilda Scarlett Im just finding it hard as I love DD1's name. The names we have on our list are nice but I dont love them (yet). And they are quite common (although at this stage i really dont care about them being common or not as I just want a nice name) So can you offer any other ideas or opinions on our list? |

Our top 4 at the moment consists of:
Ruby- lovely Ella- lovely Ellie- this is fine as a nickname only Madison- really, really dislike Other names we agree on are: Taylor- ok Lucy- nice, but I definitely prefer it as a nickname only to Lucia, Lucille, Lucinda eta Zoe- lovely Samara- lovely Perry- not keen on this Names that I love that DH has vetoed are: Milla- lovely Matilda- lovely Scarlett- lovely Of you top names/names you agree on I would probably go with Samara if you want something a little different but otherwise Zoe. Some suggestions: Asha and Summer Asha and Madeleine Asha and Serena Asha and Holly Asha and Estelle/Estella Asha and Stella Asha and Eloise Asha and Celeste Asha and Mila Asha and Leila Asha and Jemima Asha and Lara Asha and Zara Asha and Clara Asha and Xanthe/Xanthia Asha and Tess/Tessa Asha and Elise Asha and Imogen Asha and Ivy Asha and Eve/Eva Asha and Elke Asha and Maisie Asha and Maeve |

Ruby (really popular, but I think it's a great name)
Ella (I'm not a fan of it personally, but I don't think it's a bad name) Ellie ( I think this name is sweet) Madison (not my style. I think Madison might have peaked a few years ago and be in decline now?) Other names we agree on are: Taylor (I don't mind it) Lucy (I really like Lucy) Zoe (Not my style, but goes well with Asha) Samara (Beautiful name) Perry (not my style- but I don't find it too out there at all) It's great that you have so many names you can both agree on! |

I love Asha and Samara. Personally, I really don't think Ellie, Ella, Ruby or Madison are unique enough to pair with Asha, which is much more uncommon. I love the name Asha and I love the name Samara. Do that

Lucy and Samara are the best picks. I am not fond of any of the others.

Samara and Perry get my vote. Love Asha, and it is not overused. Ruby and Ella are two of the most common names around, as beautiful as they are, I'd go for something unique like you did the first time around.
