If I saw Mila I think I would say Milla....Meila I would say Meelah. This could be my Australian accent confusing things though [emoji23]
Thanks for the input about high HCG. Time will tell! Nice to have a glimmer of hope.
Countrymommy - ouch for the filling!

Country - sorry for the filling and the yucky tummy :(
Ash - that is a beautiful name and so meaningful to you! I pray you get to use it!
I would say "Mee-lah" if I saw Mila. Meila sounds like "may-lah" to me, and Milla would be "mill-ah". 🤷🏻*♀️
Lol babypink I think no matter how I spell t it'll be off for someone. I may take a list of different spellings and have people read it to me and the one that's pronounced right most will be what I pick

Ash - Mila is a very beautiful name, and it's pretty popular/trendy. It is predominantly used in all languages and pronounce the same all over the globe. I doubt you'd have any problems with people not knowing how to pronounce it.
Setting here with my grandpa and the family brought up names again and I said Estelle and of course one of the kids (I know I shouldn't put thought into it) said oh can I call her Stella like my dog [emoji35] I can feel instant flames [emoji91]! NO and I will get mad at you if you do! My response...

Ugh, people [emoji849]. I learned a long time ago to not talk names with anyone. Someone always has to make fun of the name somehow! We announce the name only when the baby is born!

GRRRRR!!! That would make my blood boil :( I really hate when people not the parent want to shorten/nickname a kiddos name... Ash you have some beautiful names to decide from so don't let anyone take this experience from you :)
Ash-so annoying when people try to put their own twist on the name!! I mean why would they even think you'd want them to call her their dog's name lol...2 diff names!!!
After I had my son Jayden for some reason my husband's sister started calling him jada-bug when he was a toddler. Then everyone started calling him this besides us of course. But yes it is so annoying. It's like he's my child and I didn't call him Jayden to have a nick name that sounds kind of like a girly nick name. Jada- bug sounds girly to me. Thankfully they stopped before he truly understood it but it was still very annoying.
Of course when we had our first son Zachary my husbands uncle said why would anyone name their child that. Oh that made me mad. It's like hello I am not saying that about your kids names, and also we are the parents not you so what does their name concern you for.
I know Lola ... Estelle to Stella if I liked Stella better I would name her that! But I thought you'd like this my grandma said you know I've always liked the name Lola...

Hi everyone! I just want to share that we announced to our extended family and I couldn't be more proud. Everyone I thought would make snide comments were genuinely thrilled and loving. I have to say I really think waiting to tell everyone until after knowing gender totally eliminated expectations or opinions. I'm so glad we did it this way.
And Ash - I love Mila, Meila, Milla, Milah or however way YOU want to spell it.
Pbn - my gas baby is so huge right now!

Pbn-totally missed your super cute "gas baby" lol. The cutest little bump [emoji173]
Dreaming-that's so wonderful to hear!! I wish we waited to announce too, sounds like it really helped!!
Ash-love it haha! Lola has been a nickname in the past, then I named my cat that too haha. I like all similar variations of it too: Lola, Layla, Leila, Lyla haha...I even like Lola Sophia, but we are continuing with "S" first names & DH doesn't like any of those L names-so guess it's a no-go!
Lana (Lar-na) is another favourite of mine!

Oooo another pretty L name pbn!!
Iwant4kids - I had really low hcg with my DD, so low they were concerned at first and said "hopefully it will double in 2 days."
I think high hcg is an old wive's tale personally.
I love Lana (Lah-na)! I also like Lola too!
We have Olivien (Oh- liv-ee-en) and Honor as options. Those are the only 2 we keep coming back to. I have a word name that starts with L, but I think I like Olivien the best so far. I'm surprised my DH brought back Honor. It does go well with my name...Hmmmm

my first thought was mee-la due to mila kunis pronouncing it that way :) i think most people would say mee-la due to her having the nameQuote:

Ash Estelle is gorgeous it doesnt want shortening to anything!! and Mila (mee-la) is beautiful too
i find girls names so so hard!! both my living girls have quite unusual nature names so im more drawn to those but they are hard to find to begin with and even harder to find ones we both agree on. it took us 2 days to name the first after she was born and 5 weeks to name the second!! argh!! there is no way im having a nameless baby in the house for 5 weeks again this time!!
Lola id love an "S" name if we have a girl this time (promise i wont steal Sophia!!) and i think limiting to 1 letter may be a wise move for us after last time!! i love Sierra (very similar to my name), Sistine, Saffron and Serafina though im sure dh will reject them all because he loves to be awkward like that haha!
Momoffourboyz - my oldest is Skylar and her grandmother started calling her Sky-bug and I hate it! She calls my oldest son who's name is Brayden, Bray-Bray. Every time I hear her say their names like that I cringe.
Dreaming that's fantastic you skipped the side comments. If I could have found out by nipt I more than likely would have waited also. So happy for you!
4blue2pink they wouldn't let us leave the hospital without a name I do understand the frustration!

XX-I remember your name now! Both so beautiful!!
4blue2pink-pretty S names! I also love Savannah & Sienna. I had a coworker with the name Spenncer, which I thought was unique, but cool for a female. And you are welcome to Sophia lol...much diff using a name you see on here than IRL. I mean what are the chances and how annoying that a family member with the same last name would take our name. I cringe every time I see a post about it on Facebook! She recently posted "Sophia, we're waiting on you." Then it's even worse when I read the comments...some our family members such as "love her name" or even just seeing it "we can't wait to meet you Sophia." Jealous much...on my part lol.
Sky-thinking about you at your appt today!! Not sure what time you're going, but hope you update as soon as you go
I love Sienna too! Unfortunately I drive a Sienna minivan [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
My Doppler should get here today!! Ash - do you remember any specific utube videos that helped you?? Can you remember what you searched? I have to hear it tonight, 10 weeks tomorrow so hopefully I can.

Ash are you serious they wont let you leave?! id have been in there for weeks!!!! we get 6 weeks here in the UK before we have to register the birth, is it different in the US?
Lola your brothers wife is annoying me and im not even in your family! a very very odd thing to do in my opinion as they knew you had the name Sophia picked out a long time before they did, it almost seems like its an intentional thing :(
Blue this is the one I watched.

Lola - sorry that your girl name has been thrown in your face lately :( That is why I do NOT share my names with anyone. Even my mother who I am very close with. She will talk names with my, but I usually do not tell her what is on my list. She will just make suggestions and could care less what we actually call the baby. She has her own nicknames for them anyway. I don't care. We have been lucky and everyone calls our boys by the nicknames that we have given them, so it has not been an issue with us. Sorry some of you have nicknames that bother you when people call your kids them.
Ash - Honestly, where is your family getting Stella from Estelle? If it was Estella, I could see it. Weird. I love the names you have picked and hope you get to use one of them.
4b2p - I know here in Idaho, you have to have a name before leaving the hospital and the birth is recorded by them. So we have to have a name pretty quick. I am not sure how it works with a home birth.
Shan I have no idea where they're getting Stella because the name is Estelle I think they do it just to annoy me. Our family has been together a lot lately since my grandpa is about to pass and when I walked up last night one uncle looked at me and said "you want a girl so bad you can't stand it" [emoji52] I have no words. They think just because I love having a big family and keep having kids I'm only having them to get a girl not because I love my babies.

Ugh so annoying [emoji849]. Hang in there! I think people sometimes don't quite understand why someone would want/have a large family. I've put a few people in there place when they say that we can be done having kids now that we have a girl. I always respond by saying each and every one of my kids was planned. There is only one way to guarantee having a child of a specific gender. Shuts them right up every time! It's true! I planned on having every one of my children!!

Omg Ash that's a horrible horrible thing your uncle said 😠😠 I swear if I was you I would be cutting off communication to a few 'family' members. I would be absolutely fuming and dwelling on everything I'd like to say. You know what! You should write these particular people a letter detailing exactly how they have made you feel and call them out for their mean behaviour!!

I'm not one to let things slide [emoji6]. One can say that I'm...extroverted and don't have a problem calling people out! My DH always hides when I'm in that mode, haha! But seriously, I feel called to advocate for my children! I will defend them in situations like this!

Pbn our family is very very outspoken and I don't fully understand it because my grandma (his mother) had 5 children! To be honest yes I am expecting to hear girl this time but this is the first time out of all my pregnancies I have felt this way. I've never been surprised or expected any less hearing boy. If I do hear boy this time I will probably have to go into hiding for a while lol especially from my family.

Xx I'll have to hunt down you pic [emoji6] and I think that'll be my new response! If you think I'm just trying for a girl I could have paid for one a few kids ago and saved myself a ton of money. But instead I have 4 boys I wouldn't trade for the world

Not a gas baby I hope. I'm feeling large and in charge for 17 weeks. Yikes. No weight gain yet though!
Haha Kat re: Sienna minivan ;) Ash's video below is good! I just did searches on youtube & watched a bunch of random videos. I tried it with a full bladder last night & still couldn't find it yet. I worried that it might make me more anxious not being able to find it...and it already has me thinking, "hmm it's been so long since my U/S, hope all is well!!!"
4blue2pink-it's DH's brother's wife, so our babies will even have the same last name, but luckily different middle names. I know DH's bro knew our names, but not certain he ever discussed it with his wife. He's not a talkative guy! It is rather coincidental though...seems like he would've remembered!
Shann-one would think that by sharing the names that they would be off limits! However, I'm starting to believe that it makes the name more appealing to others ughh. Or maybe it just puts the idea in their subconscious & they don't even realize they're stealing the name. OR they figure "they don't have a girl & we like their girl name"...
Ugh, I'm going to be so sad if I don't get my Sophia & then have to see hers posted all over FB. It would remind me of the Sophia I never got *sigh* Isn't that petty of me...just a name...yet it's so meaningful to me. Ok, I really need to start thinking positive thoughts again & believe it IS possible! Dreams do come true [emoji175][emoji166]
Ash-just saw that you posted! Your uncle, seriously??!, grrrr. Hope you shut him down immediately! Love xx's response! Xx-show us the bump!!!
Xx you look great! I'll be lookin that big by 20 weeks [emoji23]
