Baby Names
Choosing a name
JuliaGuest ·
Hi everyone,
I'm really torn about the name I want to give my daughter. My husband and I both really love this one name. It's also going to be a namesake for my husband's mom. Unfortunately, I already know quite a few people with that name (it's been in the top 5 for years). My half-sister, who is 25 years younger, has that name (I only see her at most twice a year and she speaks Italian), a friend (not someone super close) has that name, and a friend's daughter (now 3 years old) has that name. I don't see that friend very often either, but maybe we'll see each other more often once we both have kids.
We have an alternative that's more original, but I'm just happiest with the other name. What do you think?

Clicked away too soon. So just go for it, I just get that it's tricky. But you find it the most beautiful name anyway, so choosing another one... It could work, but it wouldn't feel right for you. Maybe discuss it with your girlfriend. Your sister will probably just love it, I think. -

I'm really curious what you all think of the boy's name Jayno.
Pronounced as Djeno.
