STILL not settled on a name. Aaaaaargh!!!!!

[SarahScot]

I hate choosing baby names, so frickin' stressful!!!! DH and I can't agree on anything. It was easy with DS 3 yrs ago, DH said 'How about calling him Jamie?' and taht was that.

This one is a girl and here's what we have at the moment:

Marnie
Orla
Isla
Florrie
Anya
Emma
Laila
Ava
Millie
Tilly

Help!

[montylady]

I like Marnie, Isla, Anya and Ava. Although I think some the other's are lovely, I think of them as nn's. I really love Florrie as a nn for Florence. Good luck with choosing, it took me ages to make a decision

[PepsiPopcorn]

Marnie - quite nice
Orla - not keen, a bit "now"
Isla - OK, but again a bit "in fashion", prefer Iona
Florrie - like as nickname for Florence
Anya - OK
Emma - like
Laila - OK but think of Eric Clapton "Leyla"
Ava - OK but very popular
Millie - like
Tilly - not keen as dislike Matilda

[BarbieLovesKen]

Marnie - terrible
Orla - lovely but very ordinary where I am (Ireland), I know approx 16
Isla - lovely
Florrie - I cant take it serously as dd has an old teddy bear with a hat whos named florrie. That said, Florence is lovely.
Anya - beautiful
Emma - beautiful
Laila - beautiful, this was the name we would have called dd except we have a 2 syllable surname with both syllables beginning with L - too much.
Ava - lovely but bit boring
Millie - lovely
Tilly - too twee for me, is this short for Matilda?

I agree- its sooo stressful!!!!

[fifi25]

Millie then Marnie ive got a Romilly and she somtimes gets called Milly

[thereisalightanditnevergoesout]

Isla has become very popular where we live (East of England), but I do like it. I like Orla a lot too.

[mistressploppy]

[jellybeans]

Marnie...really dislike
Orla...dislike
Isla....like
Florrie...dislike
Anya...dislike
Emma...like
Laila...OK
Ava...like
Millie...dislike, very very popular
Tilly..dislike, reminds me of that awful Tilly Vosberg (or called something like that)

[BelligerentGhoul]

Emma is lovely and quite under-used I think.

Tilly is a nice nn for Matilda.

Really dislike Laila, sorry and not fond of Marnie.

[Fourleaf]

Marnie - like - but would it be short for something?
Orla - v nice
Isla - nice but bit trendy
Florrie - nice but is nn?
Anya - nice
Emma - bit boring
Laila - lovely - my fave
Ava - nah too trendy
Millie - as above
Tilly - as above

Maybe pick two/three and see what she looks like?

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

SarahScot are you after opinions on your choices, suggestions or both?

[agora1]

My favourites are Orla and Emma but not keen on Florrie.

[glovesoflove]

I like Orla and Emma best. Also like Marnie and Anya as I know grown up ones who are fab :)

[Raahh]

I have a Millie (Millicent)- supposedly popular, but don't know any others. Is fab
Emma is my sister's name - uber popular early 70's- due a revival, very classic.
Wanted Florence for DD2(who is Philippa, nn Pippa)- was my gran's name. DH didn't like the idea of it getting shortened to flo, and wouldn't be persuaded on Flossie
so I like those three. Good luck!

[SarahScot]

JJJ . . . I'm not sure . . . maybe just someone to tell me what to call her once and for all?

[Lonnie]

Marnie is a gorgeous name as is Anya I have always been partial to millie

the rest I am just oh ok with none of them makes me go ewww

[brightcopperkettles]

I like Emma, Orla, Anya and Laila best.

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Call her Emma then. So are you sorted out now?

[KenDoddsDadsDog]

Emma

[olddeuteronomy]

Anya or Orla are lovely.
Find Emma a bit dull personally.

[dan1981]

I love marnie and think it goes with your sons name. i like laila too but its quite popular now with lots of different versions (lyla,lola,lily ect..).

[IngridFletcher]

I really like Marnie.
