Sister only suggesting "boy" names.
I'm nearly 21 weeks pregnant and earlier this week we found out we're having a little girl. I couldn't be happier! We have a two year old boy, so we really hoped for a girl this time. Anyways since I told my sister we were having a girl, she's been suggesting names...But here's the problem. They're all "Boy's" names. Most spelt with a Y in place of other vowels or adding Lynn to the names. Like Westyn, Carsyn, Blakelynn, Masynn(Mason), and Owynn...Among others that follow this trend. I've told her more than once now i want to name her something classically feminine. A name that's always been a GIRLS name instead of a boys name repurposed to be "gender nuetral" and she's not listening at all and says that they're all perfectly girly even though if spelled correctly on paper people would automatically assume that Weston, Carson, Blake, Mason, And Owen are boys. I want a name that clearly a girls name. I'm not sure how to deal with her, I've been nice and explained what I like and don't to her and she keeps pushing it.
Now she's got a daughter names Eleanor, they call her Ella or Ella-bella. That's VERY girly, so I'm not sure where she's coming from with the names she's suggesting. I feel bad telling her we won't even consider any of the names she sends me. I've explained it to her three times at least in the past four days. How do I get it across to her that we don't like these types of names? I've told her straight up they're not our style and not what we want for our daughter. I know I can just ignore her, but she will text asking about the names if I don't reply to her. I really don't know what to do, these ,to me, are very clearly boys names when said out loud and I'm not big on the unisex names thing. 🤦
