Four for a girl...

[lifesobeautiful]

So, much to my delight, I've found out I'm expecting a baby girl in June. There's one name I love (Claudia)...but there are five other names I think are really pretty and I'd love your opinions (positive or negative). And if anyone can think of similar names to add to my list that would be wonderful too!

So I've got:

Claudia
Annabel
Jemima
Louisa
Sophie
Antonia (nn Noni)

[lifesobeautiful]

Sorry - wrote my subject (four for a girl) before remembering I had two others to add to my list - so should be SIX for a girl!

[IHeartKingThistle]

I really like Claudia, Annabel and Louisa.

My name is Antonia. I can tell you from experience that you will not get to choosethe nickname!

[Rowlers]

I thought you were considing calling new baby "four"!
Congratulations, though!
I quite like Claudia, also reallly like Erica.

[lifesobeautiful]

Thank you!! Iheart - do you like your name? Do people call you Toni?

[IHeartKingThistle]

I like it but I use a shortened version which my mum hates. I would neverask her to use it and I'm also happy to be addressed as Antonia. I'm not trying to put you off it but just be very aware that there are a lot of abbreviations and she or her friends may choose to use one that you hate!

Actually I think over the course of my life I have used 4 different versions, none if which my mum liked! She likes Toni but I hate it!

[lifesobeautiful]

Thank you Iheart - definitely something to take into consideration!

[soontobeslendergirl]

I like Louisa the best.

How about Allanah?

[DickdastardlyAndMutley]

Jemima is the only one I like from your list

[sw11mumofone]

Claudia is the best. Love that name - its on my list.

[Stixswhichtwizzle]

Annabel is the best but I'm biased :)

[lifesobeautiful]

thank you everyone! I've just thought of another one I like - Jessica. Any thoughts?

[wannabedomesticgoddess]

Jessica is lovely. As is Louisa. Sophie is nice but quite popular.

I have a Sophia Louise :o

[lifesobeautiful]

Sophia Louise is gorgeous! I adore Sophia, but have a close friend with the name so feel reluctant to use it, not sure why. She'd probably think it was flattering! Shall add it to the list.

[Rhubarbgarden]

Claudia.

[AugustaLoveday]

Clarissa?

[RightUpMyRue]

Louisa is my fave out of those then Sophie.

How about Phoebe?

[RightUpMyRue]

Or Clara or Cecily?

[Rolf]

I love all those names. My favourites are Claudia and Jemima but they are all lovely. We almost called DD2 Antonia but decided against it because we didn't like the nn Toni. We also had Jemima on our shortlist.

[lifesobeautiful]

Thanks for the great suggestions everyone - my list is getting nice and long - which is good! I've added Isabella too.

I like Claudia and Louisa the best. Both are on my list. My DD is Jesse (spelt the boys way) which I love, as its a name in itself, but Jessica lovely too.
