Hello,


I just found out this morning that I am pregnant. My fiance already is talking about baby names. I am glad that he is so excited but I feel so overwhelmed. He has one son named Elvis Tyler, and a daughter named Presley Taylor. He wants to name the new baby, if its a girl, Priscilla. I am okay with that name but I like Isabella better. I don't know how to get him to budge. I can't even think of a name that goes with Priscilla except Marie and I absolutely refuse that one. For a boy he wants to name it after his father who passed, David

Someone's a huge Elvis Presley fan! Here's a good question to consider:


Do YOU like Priscilla enough to use it? Will he not consider a name that isn't related to The King?

I personally would really have to draw the line on the Elvis theme. It's just too much.

I say go for a name that you love, and see if you can get him to compromise. At the very least, maybe try Grace (for Graceland). It's slightly less obvious. :)

You could also maybe talk him into Davina or Charlotte for a girl, to honor his family members David and Charles.


CONGRATS on your news, by the way. :)

AJ, enjoying life with C.

He wants to keep with the whole Elvis theme. I don't really mind Priscilla - I kind of like it honestly but I feel it might be too much. I really like Isabella and he said he likes it but there is no relation to The King - so I am pretty much SOL. :(

Girls:


Maybe you can use Priscilla as a mn.


Isabel Priscilla is a thought - combines both names you like.


Charlotte Leigh, Charlotte Isabel, Priscilla Charlotte might also work.


Boys:


Davidson Lee, Davidson Charles, Davis Chandler

Isabella Grace?


I kind of like it :) It would give him what he wants and what I want.... hmmm.... now getting him to agree :)


He is a HUGE Elvis fan - we have Elvis everywhere in our house. I don't really mind - everyone knows his kids and they know who he is. If he likes the attention I say go right ahead. I just don't want the kids made fun of. He wants to name the boy Aaron (Elvis Aaron Presley) but I said no negotiation no way no how is that happening. I HATE that name!

Isabella Grace just happens to be my best friend's daughter's name, so of course I love it. :)


I do think it gives you both what you want.
