My partner desperately wants to name one of our twins Isla but I’ve never been keen on it and I feel so bad but it’s just not growing on me at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions that are similar to Isla that I can throw at him to make change his mind so we can meet half way as he’s not coming up with any other names as he’s so set on this one.
I love short and sweet names and preferably not common either?
It’s a nightmare as we have to agree on 2 baby girl names in the next few weeks 🙈💗

Isla Rose & Ivy Grace

Isla & Ivy sound gorgeous together 😍
I’m just not keen on Isla, I think it’s the spelling I’m not sure but it’s never grown on me 😅

Aela, Eyelah, Aisla?
I thought about maybe changing the spelling but it just looks more silly as Isla looks the best way to spell it so I’ve just chosen to rule the name out but my partner just won’t budge on anything else as he’s wanted this name for years 🤦🏽♀️

I compromised with my husband on our daughter’s name. I had a name picked for yeaaaars and I budged because he wasn’t a fan and we decided on something we both liked.
However that’s not always the case, I know you don’t love the name but in order for my daughter name to stick, I came up with a cute nickname for her and I got to pick her middle name. Maybe that will help if you can pick the middle name for her and your other twins first name? and then find some cute nicknames to help it grow on you?

I wouldn't give my child a first name that I didn't like too. If he loves the name, how about Isla as the middle name since it isn't used as often? Then come up with a name you both like for the first name. Have you picked a first name already for one of the daughters or not yet?

So exciting having twins ☺️What about lyla or Lila as a compromise. What name have you decided on for the other twin x

I have a name I love that he does not want to compromise on either so I’m not willing to call the other twin Isla as it’s not for me 🙈
we don’t have a name for the other twin as he don’t like any of my suggestions 🙈 surely ‘Iyla’ is still ‘Isla’ tho isn’t it

😂 no it’s a diff name but similar, thought it was the spelling you didn’t like hence the suggestion.
it’s both really 😅 how do u pronounce ‘Iyla’?

Lie-la , one of my top names if I ever had a girl as ideally would want an L name to go with my son Leo
I thought that was a capital I not an L lol x

That makes sense! I get it. I hope you guys can compromise and find the loveliest names you both agree on! 💕

I’m willing to use Isla as a middle name 100% as I don’t hate the name. We have no names at all for the twins yet that we agree on
