Picking A Baby Girl Name..
I'm 16 years old 36 weeks pregnant and I can't come up with a good baby girl name! My top 3 were Melody, Bethany, Isabella. My family loved Isabella and my boyfriend did too! Unfortunately I've been on and off with him for 5 years but together without any break ups for 2 years and 3 months. In the past he's cheated on me and just talked to several girls to make me jealous. There was a girl named Isabel that was his best friend and he called her Izzy and it irritated the living hell out of me. They stopped talking when I asked him to about 3 Yeats ago but I still can't get over it. Should I just pick the name Isabella either way? Am I crazy :(

Well if the name makes you think of someone you dont like then just dont use the name.
Think of people in your life who have always been there for you, ask them their middle name and see if you can put together a combination of a name based on that?

Things irritate much easier when we are younger, meaning teens and early twenties. The frontal part of our brains isn't complete and done growing until at least mid 20's if not a bit longer. So I wouldn't base your being irritated because of a past girlfriend of his and his nickname as a good enough reason to not name the child Isabella. If any nicknames came up, they could easily be Belle or Bella. I do however understand even older people having a reaction to a name subconsciously if they had a bad experience in the past. An example, could be myself. Having an abusive ex which I will call William for my example (not real name) When I was dating to meet new people after a divorce, I did indeed meet 2 people with his same name. My first reaction on the inside was to feel a pang of anxiety and alarm at hearing their name as I associated it with someone bad. But being older and mature, I told myself that I shouldn't judge a book by its cover or a person by their name based on my past experiences. Not everyone named Adolf is going to turn out to be like Hitler.
One of my guys turned out to be a real loser, the other a nice guy but we didn't have enough chemistry.
At 16, the boy isn't able to step in and financially be responsible for the child and due to your ages, theres little likelihood of the two of you becoming sweethearts til death do you part.
First love can be very intense and feel like it has the ability to stand up to the test of time. But from our teen years til we graduate college, we go through a tremendous lot of personal character changes so that looking back, we see we really no longer are the same person we were back in our teens. This is part growing up and maturing and part having certain chances at life experiences that help change our path and choices. Even up until age 30, we are still defining who we are. ANd relationships change too. So don't base your choice of your daughters name on the biological father of the child. Your parents at first will help raising the child and as you get older and find a great guy who loves her and will be her step father, that man will have the more significant impression in her life. Not saying she doesnt need to know who her birth dad is, but often kids having kids can turn out bad.
If you want something unique and different, start doing searches for baby girl names in different countries. I've done that for stories I've written and found it a good way to come up with great names. You just may come up with one all of you like even better.
