Only 8 weeks but already toying with names

[WinkyWinkola]

Your thoughts on the following, please. Not even considered boys names yet:

Eliza

Clementine

Babette

Viola

Mamie

Pearl

Dinah

[rubyslippers]

Yes to Clementine, Viola and Pearl

Dinah - i could be persuaded but Dana is nice

babette - is it French?

eliza - hmm - maybe

mamie - no

congrats on your PG

I like Babette - I think it's cute and I love Betty and that could be a shortening of Babette. But we have no French connections, so to speak, and it could be pretentious.

Eliza - increasingly popular among chattering clases for good reason. It's pretty. I know one.

Clementine - I know one of these too. Same as Eliza. Like Tabitha etc, I think this is on an up curve.

Babette - unusual and nice, I like.

Viola - like Violet this is going to become trendy I think

Mamie - not for me. A bit too Guys and Dolls but I can see why you like it.

Pearl - yes, I like this.

Dinah - definitely my favourite. I also love Diana.

Babette would be my favourite from your list. I do like Viola but always worry it could be 'viler' in the playground.

congradulations on your pg hun

I think eliza is probably my fave

I started thinking about names at about 8 weeks... BIG mistake iv changed the name so many times iv got 2 days to go and iv only just about picked a name lolxxx

[WinkyWinkola]

Then I do wonder about a name with the word 'bab' in it. My brothers used 'bab' as another word for poop.

[RachieB]

hmmm not my kind of names
fave out of the lot is Eliza but prefer Elise

[AuroraB]

my dog is called Babette! (don't let that put you off, she's a very ladylike dog)

it's an amazing name, she's Babs or B for short

[spicemonster]

I like them all except Mamie. My ex-neighbour who is a tv personality has a daughter called Babette

[wibblewobbly]

Sorry dont like any of them.

Same as RachieB - prefer Elise

[LittleMissWorryHead]

Clementine - Fabulous!
